Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is nearly here, and while the game was met with a somewhat tepid response after its E3 debut, previews since have finally started to set the hype train in motion. All signs seem to indicate that Fallen Order is a much bigger game than its marketing has let on, and the more we hear, the more Star Wars fans begin to sit up and take notice.

Set during the gap between Episodes III and IV, Fallen Order follows the journey of fugitive Jedi Cal Kestis as he joins up with a band of rebels and evades the watchful eye of Darth Vader's Inquisitors. His droid companion BD-1 is also there for the ride, and with the game focusing on lightsaber content and traversal first and foremost, it's shaping up to be the experience Star Wars fans have been clamouring for ever since EA took the license in 2013.

Story-focused and littered with references to the expanded canon, Fallen Order also boasts a level of detail that's bound to get hardcore Star Wars fans particularly excited. Whether it's through name-dropping key figures from the franchise's past or in how the game allows players to customise their version of Cal to the most acute detail, Fallen Order is packed to the brim with tiny details that spill into gameplay, its story, and even how it's presented.

It might be a few weeks before it drops, but here are all the details Star Wars fans are going to love.

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.
