After a fraught period of controversial movies, games, and microtransactions,\u00a0Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0gave Star Wars<\/em> fans a new hope for the mega franchise\u2014especially where games are concerned. Fallen Order<\/a>‘<\/em>s crowd-pleasing blend of Souls-like combat, Metroidvania exploration, and\u00a0Uncharted<\/em>-esque cinematic action introduced players to a crew of likable new characters.<\/p>\n

Mechanically, there are some obvious areas where\u00a0Fallen Order<\/em>\u00a0can improve<\/a>, but\u00a0Respawn can push the narrative envelope even further\u00a0in its next installment with a\u00a0change-up that will delight hard-core Force lovers.<\/p>\n

Fallen Order<\/em>‘s\u00a0lead, Cal Kestis, is\u00a0a solid, if-traditional\u00a0Star Wars<\/em> protagonist, but also\u00a0an all-around\u00a0compelling character who contends with real-world issues such as survivors’ guilt and the associated PTSD.\u00a0That struggle maps\u00a0extremely well to the Light vs. Dark Side of the Force dynamic. Arguably, Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker<\/em> missed a huge opportunity to give Cal a call-out<\/a> that would have made both properties feel more cohesive. So how can Respawn improve on his character?\u00a0Give him a vacation.<\/p>\n

Cal’s initial character arc\u2014becoming a Jedi Knight in full and facing his past demons\u2014concludes at the end of Fallen Order<\/em>, which is what makes the game’s ending so satisfying. Instead of foreshadowing a new threat or quest, the Mantis’ crew reaches a decisive\u2014though somewhat controversial\u2014solution to the threat posed by the\u00a0Jedi holocron. Even though\u00a0the ending has major implications for the future of Fallen Order<\/em><\/a>, it leaves the door wide open for other\u00a0Fallen Order<\/em>\u00a0characters to step into the spotlight. It also provides an opportunity for\u00a0mind-blowing special guest appearances\u00a0and new characters to join the fold, introducing a new protagonist for the second game.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Cere’s journey mirrors Cal’s in that both characters are facing past trauma, inflicted at the hands of the Empire. But while Cal reaches a fairly clean resolution and remains at peace with the Force, one gets the sense that Cere is fighting an ongoing battle against the urges and temptations of the Dark Side. Seeing her gradually repair her connection to the Force would make for an amazing journey, and one of the most distinctive video game protagonists the video game industry has seen. There is a lot more to Cere Junda than meets the eye<\/a>, even if looking carefully at all of Fallen Order’<\/em>s lore.<\/p>\n

Merrin is one of the best new characters in\u00a0Fallen Order<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0stands as\u00a0another promising option. If\u00a0Cal inspires her\u00a0to take up the mantle of a Jedi, it would create an extremely intriguing dilemma between her sense of duty to her deceased sisters, and her newfound desire to move forward as a survivor. Merrin’s brutally blunt personality would also make for a\u00a0refreshingly distinctive voice with lots of opportunities for humor. Mechanically,\u00a0Merrin would also present Respawn with the opportunity to\u00a0explore the distinctions between her seemingly-Dark Sided Night Sister Force powers, the abilities of the Sith, and those of the Jedi. The puzzle-solving applications of her reanimation ability are exciting by themselves.<\/p>\n

Either of these Mantis crew members would make for amazing leads. But in terms of generating excitement, Respawn can go even further.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Ezra Bridger is a character who got bigger and better as Rebels<\/em> continued<\/a>, and many fans would be happy to see him again, especially since his current status is unknown.\u00a0If the next game occurs shortly after the first,\u00a0Bridger would make an admittedly poor choice for a lead given his other activities during Rebels<\/em>, but he could\u00a0still provide a spotlight-stealing cameo or guest-star in a mission. And if the\u00a0Fallen Order\u00a0<\/em>series vaults past the Battle of Yavin, the Mantis crew could team up with Bridger as he attempts to reunite with Sabine Wren and Ahsoka Tano.<\/p>\n

The most exciting option, however, would be Ahsoka herself. Anakin Skywalker’s former Jedi Padawan\u00a0is quite possibly the most popular Star Wars character who does not appear in one of the series’ main episodes, and her complex relationship with Darth Vader, the Force, and the Rebellion could provide the foundation for a powerful new story. The prospects of her joining the cast are strong too, as Ahsoka’s voice actor,\u00a0Ashley Eckstien, wants Ahsoka to be part of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

While it is unlikely that either of these characters would replace Cal as the series’ sole lead, one can easily\u00a0envision\u00a0a situation where they star for a few missions as members of an ensemble cast.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Following Fallen Order<\/em>‘s tremendous success,\u00a0Disney\u00a0expressed interest in developing more single-player, narrative driven Star Wars<\/em> titles<\/a>, and creating new characters would\u00a0lead to more opportunities for\u00a0properties to branch out down the line. Even though adding an excessive number of Jedi could beggar belief about the efficacy of Order 66,\u00a0 having Cal take on an Padawan of his own seems like\u00a0the next natural step in his Jedi journey and seems like the most plausible opportunity for a protagonist-change up.<\/p>\n

But Disney\u00a0has an even deeper well to drawn from than\u00a0the Star Wars<\/em> television universe. After David Filoni rescued Grand Admiral Thrawn from Star Wars<\/em>‘ non-canonical\u00a0Legends material, other famous Jedi are also on the table.\u00a0A game starring the fan-favorite Mara Jade\u00a0or Kyle Katarn isn’t impossible. Kyle was the lead character in the Jedi Knight<\/em> series, which could be loosely considered\u00a0Fallen Order’<\/em>s spiritual predecessors\u2014especially since Fallen Order<\/em> was nearly a first-person shooter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Regardless of who ends up leading the eagerly anticipated\u00a0Fallen Order<\/em> follow-up, the fact that the franchise has so many intriguing options to choose from is a promising sign indeed. Until it arrives, speculating about what may be is a fun way to pass the time.<\/p>\n

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order<\/em><\/strong> is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One with a release for Google Stadia planned later this year. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2<\/em> has yet to be officially announced.<\/p>\n
