E3 2016: EA's Upcoming Star Wars Video Games - 7 Biggest Speculations

3. Respawn Are Working On A Title Involving Jedi

I don't think anyone thought that Respawn would be creating a third person Star Wars game, what with the studio spawning from ex-Call of Duty developers and the focus of their main franchise currently being an FPS as well, so the reveal that they're actually working on a third person game - featuring Jedi no less - is bound to surprise.

It's cool though, and indeed even encouraging to see. Pretty much all of EA's Star Wars games have, so far, refused to dabble in the force that much. I can't understand why they could possibly be hesitant to do so, but Respawn gave us the first indication that the Dark Side and the Light will be coming to blows in a Star Wars game in the future.

If you look even further, they may have even hinted at a possible timeline for their title too...

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
