Followers of the Star Wars Jedi video games, together with yours actually, bought some excellent news out of an EA investor relations presentation Tuesday about the way forward for the sequence. Based on Video Video games Chronicle, the corporate has a 3rd recreation within the works, supposed 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 certainly one of my favourite Star Wars gingers) Cal Kestis. However regardless of the phrase “survivor” within the title of that the majority current recreation, the higher Star Wars universe most likely doesn’t have good issues in retailer for Cal.
I acquired the information of this new recreation with no trepidation as a result of it didn’t initially happen to me that Cal is likely to be about to satisfy his predestined finish. That’s till my co-worker Clayton Ashley typed into gamerjive’s Slack: “I’m wondering if he’ll die on this one,” to which my different co-worker 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 seemingly, I’d say.
Cal Kestis could have averted Order 66, however given the time interval by which he exists, his days are numbered as a Jedi on the Empire’s unhealthy facet. Additionally, like so many different Star Wars characters invented to exist in time intervals that predate A New Hope, we already know he doesn’t present up for any of these occasions. (And we are able to 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 understanding forward of time that this can nearly actually be the case for them — could 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.
