Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 

Cal Kestis, our protagonist, is a young Jedi Padawan who miraculously survived the tragic events of Order 66, a directive that led to the near-extermination of the Jedi Order by the Galactic Empire. Throughout the game, Cal, along with a group of allies, embarks on a mission to rebuild the Jedi Order while evading the relentless pursuit of the Empire’s sinister Inquisitors. The game weaves elements of exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving, allowing players to harness the Force, wield a lightsaber, and immerse themselves in the vast Star Wars universe.

Timeline Placement:

“Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order” is set approximately five years after the events of “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” and roughly 14 years before the events of “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.” In the lore, this is a dark period for the galaxy. The once-mighty Galactic Republic has fallen, replaced by the tyrannical Galactic Empire under the rule of Emperor Palpatine. The Jedi are nearly extinct, branded as traitors and hunted down by the Empire’s agents.

Lore Significance:

The game enriches the Star Wars narrative by delving deep into the aftermath of the Jedi purge, exploring themes of trauma, survival, hope, and redemption. The story introduces players to new planets, characters, and lore, while also intertwining with familiar elements from the broader Star Wars saga. The appearance of characters like Saw Gerrera (previously featured in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and the “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” series) bridges the game with other media in the franchise. The menacing Inquisitors, particularly the Second Sister and Ninth Sister, exemplify the Empire’s commitment to eradicating the last remnants of the Jedi.

In the broader Star Wars timeline, “Jedi: Fallen Order” provides a glimpse into the challenges faced by survivors of Order 66, showcasing the resilience of the Jedi spirit even in the face of overwhelming odds and the pervasive shadow of the Empire.
