Jedi Fallen Order was one of EA’s first major forays into the Star Wars universe. While there had been other triple-a Star Wars games before it, namely the Battlefront games, Fallen Order was the first major single-player game the company has released in its time with the license. While the game generally reviewed well, Jedi Fallen Order outfits were a missed opportunity as a whole.
Jedi Fallen Order outfits were mostly alternate versions of the default clothing, with new options for ponchos scattered around within. One DLC outfit has been added since the game released, the Inquisitor Cal skin introduced earlier this year, but there was a lot more that could’ve been done.
Of course, many players had hoped that the Jedi Fallen Order outfits roster would’ve included some type of Jedi robe. In fact, in hindsight, it seems like a glaring omission for a game that primarily follows a Padawan transform into a full-fledged Jedi Knight after countless trials and tribulations. It’s almost too obvious though, and with a universe as broad as Star Wars, there are plenty of other things that developer Respawn Entertainment could’ve done to spice up Jedi Fallen Order’s outfit selection.
Throughout Fallen Order’s story, Cal visits a number of planets and takes on a number of enemies. Certainly, not all of these merit a poncho. If anything, Jedi Fallen Order outfits should’ve taken a page out of an older Star Wars game, Force Unleashed, which incorporated its outfits more heavily into the narrative. They made locations feel distinct, despite the fact that they could be changed more or less at will.
Imagine, for instance, if Fallen Order allowed characters to unlock a suit of Mandalorian armor after facing off against a brutal bounty hunter. It would be a great reward for players, but the experience of the fight would also be attached to it, making it all the more memorable in the future.
New outfits for specific planets would also go a long way. Fallen Order’s Dathomir plays a key role in the game, as well as hosting one of the more interesting boss fights in the game. Rewarding players with an outfit tailored for the toxic environment – through combat, exploration, or some other method – makes the connection with the location that much richer, and if it’s one players like, in particular, it can make the area it was unlocked stand out above the others.
Not only did Force Unleashed outshine Jedi Fallen Order outfits in terms of their incorporation into the story, but Force Unleashed offered a healthy selection of bonus outfits, many of which were unlocked with cheat codes. There were a large number of these, some of which allowed players to take on the look of famous Star Wars characters, like Anakin or Obi-Wan Kenobi. This was all in the name of fun, allowing players to kick back and imagine their favorite heroes and villains put in the role of an ultra-powerful force wielder.
There’s no such option in Jedi Fallen Order, which is a shame. Odds are that fans will one day get Jedi Fallen Order 2, continuing the story of Cal and his crew. Until then, though, fans have to live with the Jedi Fallen Order outfits they have available now, and while it doesn’t put too much of a damper on the game, there’s plenty more that would’ve been cool to see.
Jedi Fallen Order is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
