Darth Vader is, without a doubt, one of the most popular characters in the franchise. Darth Vader’s role in the original trilogy would indubitably leave a huge mark on the franchise—leading to the prequel trilogy about the fall of Anakin Skywalker and the rise of Darth Vader. His appearance everywhere is usually well-received, whether that’s Star Wars Rebels , non-canonically in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed , and so on. The hype for Darth Vader in Obi-Wan Kenobi simply cannot be understa

It could be another character from Jedi: Fallen Order , like Cere and Merrin , on their Jedi adventure/path. It could be another established character, and if the stars align, there is some potential that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor ’s protagonist could be Obi-Wan Kenobi . Or it could be another new one set in a completely different time in the galaxy. Playing a young Jedi student of Master Yoda before the prequels, for example, would fit well into the franchise IF it were an anthological ser

If Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is an anthology moving to a new character, that automatically cuts Darth Vader’s story off from Cal Kestis. Now, maybe Cere would fall into the same trap, but there are many possibilities that open a story where Vader may not be personally involved. Keeping Star Wars ‘ Inquisitors involved would still be interesting, but just because they work for Vader doesn’t mean Vader has to be directly involved. Maybe while he’s “hunting” Cal, another character can be undertaking their own unique journey. Maybe there are new Dark Jedi, Dark Side Forces, Sith-like characters, and so on that could be introduced as threats to whoever the new protagonist

If there is meant to be a second playable character, there’s not a better pick than Merrin. After all, assuming the subtitle could be in reference to her past, not Cal’s, she’s a survivor by definition. It’s likely Cal (or perhaps Cere) is training her in the ways of the Jedi, making her their padawan. That would be the best way to work her into a closer story, as well as a solid connection for the gameplay. How the action RPG elements, as well as the lightsaber customization in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor , would work remains to be seen, but it’s not impossi

The second installment in the Jedi: Fallen Order game series looks darker than its predecessor, and Clone Wars connections in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor could help establish that more serious tone. The first game featured frequent flashbacks into the backstory of both Kestis and his mentor Cere Junda, but further exploration of Trilla Suduri could make for an interesting follow-up. Suduri was Junda’s first apprentice, but following Order 66 and Junda’s disappearance Suduri was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. Despite her Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order ending, flashbacks exploring Trilla Suduri’s past could make for a darker second installment and give players access to powers unavailable to Cal Kes

After all, one complaint lodged against Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is its placement in the Dark Times. It introduces a new Jedi in a time when there were almost no Jedi, and the whole storytelling vibe is a little old hat at this point. If F allen Order 2 would be Cal’s story continued, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor suggests it could take place elsewhere, with a new story, a new crew. It would likely even be a new character in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor , but that character wouldn’t have to be “new,” per se. It definitely could, there’s a strong case that it shouldn’t be, but an anthological series opens so many do

He added that the game continues Cal Kestis’ story, but he didn’t know for sure if Cal was the only playable character. The Bespin Bulletin also chimed in to add that it heard there would be a second playable character in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor , with Cal remaining the focus. Should this be true, even if fans should take all of this with a healthy grain of salt, there’s a strong case to make Merrin the second playable charac

The big thing here, of course, is the name. Many would have presumed that the title would be Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 , as in a direct sequel to Cal Kestis’ original adventure , but that’s not the case. If the game is changing subtitles, it could be that Cal Kestis remains the protagonist, but it’s possible that he doesn’t. Names are important everywhere, but especially in the gaming industry. There’s a certain fatigue associated when a numbered game starts putting check out this blog post via Jedisurvivorhub more than a third-numbered title, but sequels and threequels pound on the success of the origi

Adopting a “Metroidvania” gameplay structure, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order immersed players in Cal Kestis’ journey from Padawan to veteran Jedi. The story takes Kestis and his allies to planets both strange and recognizable, ranging from the Wookie homeworld of Kashyyyk to the unforgiving cliffs of Dathomir. Force powers in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order are useful for both combat and puzzle-solving, with each new skill letting the player access brand-new areas of the game. Kestis is the central focus of the first game, but rumors suggest that a new playable character in Jedi: Fallen Order 2 may shift focus away from Cameron Monaghan’s charac
