Spoiler free!

Jedi: Survivor is wonderful. It's packed full of characters my fiance and I actually care about, natural-sounding dialogue, and an amazing list of beautiful environments. The lore this game establishes is actually somewhat grounded, and focuses on (subjectively) the best period in Star Wars history. Jedi Survivor leans on your previous experiences in Fallen Order heavily. If you haven't played Fallen Order, this game will still make sense, but will have MUCH less emotional impact in various scenes and interactions.

Without going into specifics, this game takes everything the first game did will and does them even better. Combat is relatively similar, but with some amazing changes with lightsabers and their forms in particular. I've spied a few animations that seem copy-pasted from Fallen Order, but they make sense thematically. The 'open world' aspect of Jedi Survivor is an interesting and welcomed change, but it does lose some of it's personality because of it. I think the best example is the Metro series; Metro Exodus is a great game, but it just doesn't have quite the same tone that the prior entries carry.

Performance seems to be an obligatory mention in these reviews, so here we go.
Asus 2070 Super 08G, i7-10700k, 16GB DDR4 3200mhz ram. Game saved on a WD Black SN750 m.2. 2560x1440, textures/shadows/view distance on high (rest medium or low), DLSS on balanced mode.
Is it perfect? God no. Is it playable? God yes. I never crashed once during my 50hr play-through, so I have zero issues there. The primary planet with your 'base of operations' is a bit finicky with frame drops, specifically in enemy-heavy areas. I was concerned going in given the quantity of folks stating they have horrible performance with current-gen cards, but I have very few issues personally. I ONLY see frame drops on that one single planet, so... Not to diminish the experiences of others, but I cannot fathom how new hardware can't handle this game, given my card was released in Q2 2019 and it is pretty dang smooth.

Great game, I'm hoping that they can finish the third one before some random ♥♥♥♥♥♥ executive decides to lay off the entire studio, for whatever reason they can get away with nowadays.
