Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order almost didn’t feature any lightsaber combat. According to Game director Stig Asmussen in an interview, LucasFilm wasn’t “comfortable” with Respawn using Jedi in their game.

Folks, we have made it. Through the fire and flames (Which is a kickass Dragonforce track by the way), through the controversies and the glitches. You’ve weathered disappointments and lukewarm launches, you sat through the hype and the triumphs of a year that was nothing short of memorable. And here we are, brothers in video game arms who are ready for one last push. One final dab of that interactive hot sauce that we simply cannot get enough of.

If you’re planning to play on PC, here’s what you’ll need to get your digital lightsaber purring like a Rancor that has just been well-fed on disposable slaves.

In the Galactic Empire, the Inquisitorius has only one mission: seek out and destroy all remnants of the Jedi Order. Learn more about what Cal Kestis is searching the galaxy for and why the Empire will stop at nothing to bring him down.

Looking at Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order which arrives well after the launch of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice you’d think that Respawn poached plenty of inspiration from its Japanese counterpart, but seeing as how Respawn began work several years ago on their Star Wars tale, it may just be a case of amazing coincidence at play once again. That doesn’t mean that Respawn doesn’t like the comparison though.

Why was Kal chosen to be the face of Star Wars instead of one of its many many alien species? According to developer Respawn Entertainment, they didn’t want to “alienate” the fans. I'm never getting a Darth Maul game, am I?

One thing you won’t be seeing in Fallen Order? Legions of defeated Stormtroopers lying about the place, looking for lost limbs and swearing revenge on the Jedi who just robbed them of their ability to spit out sick licks on a guitar. While Star Wars films may be filled with dismemberment scenes a’plenty, Cal Kestis will leave his foes in one piece for the duration of the game. Most of the time, that is.

Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is aiming to be that game that redefines the Star Wars experience, promising not only tight single-player action, but intelligent gameplay and a story that’ll have you gripping your seat with firm buttocks as the tension ramps up. Is this the new hope that fans deserve? See for yourself in this new gameplay reveal.
