Followers of the Star Wars Jedi video games, together with yours really, obtained some excellent news out of an EA investor relations presentation Tuesday about the way forward for the sequence. In response to Video Video games Chronicle, the corporate has a 3rd sport within the works, meant to be “the ultimate chapter of this thrilling story” after Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, two video games starring the unique character (and one in every of my favourite Star Wars gingers) Cal Kestis. However regardless of the phrase “survivor” within the title of that almost all current sport, the higher Star Wars universe in all probability doesn’t have good issues in retailer for Cal.
I obtained the information of this new sport with no trepidation as a result of it didn’t initially happen to me that Cal may be about to fulfill his predestined finish. That’s till my coworker Clayton Ashley typed into epicgamejourney’s Slack: “I’m wondering if he’ll die on this one,” to which my different coworker Pete Volk responded, “[twisted version] I’m wondering which Disney Plus present he can have a cameo in.” Each believable choices for Cal’s future! However the former appears a bit extra probably, I’d say.
Cal Kestis might have prevented Order 66, however given the time interval by which he exists, his days are numbered as a Jedi on on the Empire’s unhealthy aspect. Additionally, like so many different Star Wars characters invented to exist in time durations that predate A New Hope, we already know he doesn’t present up for any of these occasions. (And we will solely hope he doesn’t get edited into any of them. Nobody is asking for that. Nobody!)
However that doesn’t imply his story, and its ending, can’t nonetheless be fascinating. Rogue One proved that tales about characters who intend to die for his or her trigger — with the viewers realizing forward of time that this may virtually actually be the case for them — may be simply as poignant and narratively wealthy as tales the place the ending is tougher to guess.
I assume I’m saying, if Cal Kestis has to die, I’m excited to see the way it performs out. Does that sound bizarre? No matter.
