Jedi: Fallen Order was a triumph for EA, throwing off the shackles of Battlefront 2s micro transaction moral panic, and setting a new standard for single player adventures in the Star Wars universe.

Controlling young Jedi Cal Kestis as he sets off on his epic quest across the galaxy, re-establishing his connection to the Force and facing down Imperial Inquisitors in ferocious lightsaber duels scratched the itch Star Wars fans have had since Jedi Academy.

Not only was the game well received by fans and critics alike, but it has sold above EA’s own expectations, making a sequel a virtual certainty at this point.

While trust in EA is still at an all time low, Jedi: Fallen Order has gone some way to restoring faith that there is, much like Han Solo, more to them than money.

So now that EA have proven their ability to deliver quality, single player experiences in that galaxy far, far away, what should they tackle next?

With a wealth of possible genres to explore, here are ten single player Star Wars games EA should make following Jedi: Fallen Order:

10. Rogue Squadron Legacy

Less of a sequel and more of a reboot, an EA-helmed Rogue Squadron would top of most fans’ wish lists.

Using the GameCube classics RS2: Rogue Leader and RS3: Rebel Strike as reference points and re-purposing the engine and assets from Battlefront 2, a full blown space combat game on current or (more likely) next gen systems would be eye-wateringly beautiful.

The starfighter sections in Battlefront 2 are, whilst admittedly a little shallow, magnificent to behold and the prospect of a full 20-30 hour campaign at the controls of the Millennium Falcon or Kylo Ren’s TIE Silencer is an enticing one to say the least.

EA could even look to the likes of No Man’s Sky and Starlink: Battle For Atlas for inspiration, as these games are the closest thing we’ve had to a classic Star Wars-style flight game in years.

With 4k graphics running at 60fps, with perhaps some additional VR modes thrown in for good measure and the return of split screen multi player for couch co-op dogfights away from the main campaign, a new Rogue Squadron game should definitely be at the forefront of EA’s plans for the Star Wars licence.
