RIGHT The Empire
is still hunting
the remaining
Jedi by the time
of Fallen Order.

ABOVE Cal’s
signature
weapon has seen
better days,
that’s for sure.

Lightsaber


The elegant weapon of the Jedi, not
as random or clumsy as a blaster, and
Cal’s weapon of choice. Basically an
energy sword, the lightsaber is most
effective in slicing the arms off walrus
men in Mos Eisley bars or pinging
blaster shots back at your enemies
using superhuman reactions given to
you by the Force. It’s no good just
slashing away with it, it’s all in the
timing. The Souls-like combat means
you need to be as patient as a Jedi
and use your lightsaber to break your
opponent’s guard before landing the
killer blow. They may strike you down,
but you will become more powerful
than you can possibly imagine.

Metroid


Metroidvanias take their name from
the Metroid and Castlevania games,
in which revisiting an area previously
seen but inaccessible, is part of
gameplay progression. In the case of
Jedi: Fallen Order, such areas might
be initially blocked off by an obstacle
that can eventually be removed by
Jedi powers, once Cal’s acquired
them. Ditto BD-1, which may, once
levelled up, be able to hack a lock to
open up new areas.

Nov 15


Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will
be out on Xbox One from 15
November 2019, just in time to
catch a wave of Star Wars
mania that will culminate in the
release of Star Wars Episode IX:
The Rise Of Skywalker. Honestly
we can’t tell you how excited
we are, but let’s just say we
could kiss Jar Jar Binks right
now. Other great things to have
ever happened in November?
Caravan Of Courage: An Ewok
Adventure was released in
November 1984.

Order 66


Clone Protocol 66 was programmed
into the control chips implanted in
the brains of Grand Army clone
troopers, and when activated
identified all Jedi as traitors to the
Galactic Republic. When the Sith
Darth Sidious, aka Senator Palpatine,
made his move to take control of the
Republic, and destroy the Jedi Order,
the protocol was activated – and this
all but wiped out the Jedi. Order 66
resulted in the slaughter of the
young Jedi initiates on Coruscant. Cal
Kestis is a survivor of the massacre,
which took place three years before
the events of Jedi: Fallen Order.
