Mass Effect’sGarrus Vakarian is many things. Former C-Sec Investigator, mercenary Archangel, Turian, and possible romance option, yet now he can add Jedi Warrior to that list. Garrus is one of theMass Effecttrilogy’s most loved characters, with his writing and character standing out to many as some of the strongest in the series.There was even a statue created in Garrus' honorto mark the release ofMass Effect Legendary Edition.
BioWare’s own appreciation of Garrus aside, many fans have often taking to sharing their love for their favorite alien. A lot of these pieces of artwork feature the companion as FemShep’s romantic partner, with one particular piece imagining what a wedding would be like between afemale Commander Shepard and Garrus. Now, Reddit user u/Overlord416 has posted their version of Garrus, who is rocking full Jedi attire.

Wearing a set of brownish robes, boots to accomodate his raptor-like feet, and a purple lightsaber, the artist has reimagined Garrus as a Jedi with a great attention to detail. The post sent manyMass Effectfans into full on sci-fi geek mode, with one fan joking that they’d hate to be whatever Jedi Master had to watch Garrus calibrate his lightsaber for hours on end, a joke referencing Garrus' calibration lines when a player tries to speak with him aboard the Normandy.
This is not the first time an artist has created crossover work betweenMass Effectand another franchise. Notably, one artist back in October reimagined a couple of the sci-fi RPGs characters as though they weremercenaries inTeam Fortress 2. Garrus again featured as the Sniper, while scientist Salarian Mordin was the Medic. With Garrus depicted as a Jedi Knight though, this sent manyMass Effectfans stumbling into speculation on the possibility of a crossover betweenStar Warsand BioWare’s celebrated and acclaimed series.
Though it is highly unlikely that an official crossover will ever be seen betweenStar WarsandMass Effect, both franchises are succeeding on their own.Mass Effecthas seen the release of itsLegendary Editionthis year, reminding those who already played the original trilogy why they liked it, and introducing a whole new generation of gamers to the originalMass Effectexperience.
Many are also eagerly anticipating the release of a newMass Effecttitle, which has slowly been teased over the past year since it was first revealed at The Game Awards. DeveloperBioWare currently has its hands full withDragon Age 4though, so it will likely be some time before we see even a vague release date for a newMass Effecttitle. With fans still creating art paying tribute to their favorite characters, it seems that manyMass Effectplayers are content with what they already have.
Mass Effect Legendary Editionis available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
