I found Cal Kestis to be the most generic sounding and looking Star wars character. The games are fun but I found myself uninterested in him as a character

I agree with you, he's kind of a blank slate.
I think that works for a video game though.

It's also refreshingly NOT the chosen one or blood line thing that's a bit overdone in Star Wars.
(Crossing my fingers he's not secretly a long lost Skywalker, Palpatine or Kenobi relative)

Many stories introduce the protagonist in their prime, or when they're at their most interesting, then eventually release an origin story.
The first game felt like an origin story for a dude I didn't know. (Haven't played the second game yet)

My guess (hope) is he'll feel more interesting as he gets more exposure and character development as games come out and we kinda get to see him grow as we play.

Yeah I get what you're saying about him being a blank slate. I guess I'm just tired of generic white dudes as being the definition of blank slate. I hope he does get more interesting, I found the other characters far more fun to follow than Cal

Yea for sure, he could have been a blank slate without being as bland or generic. By that I absolutely don't mean to imply the actor is any of these things, but that they played it safe in character design.
Expecially in a universe of endless aliens.
It's not even a choice that has to be limited between our own human heritages.

I vote Ewok Jedi myself.
