Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - 10 Little-Known Details Fans Will LOVE

10. Lightsaber Customisation Is About More Than Just The Blade

Whereas most single-player Star Wars games of the old gen only really allowed players to change the colour of their blades, Fallen Order is going one step further by allowing full lightsaber customisation. That means everything, from the crystal, to the hilt and even the internal components of your lazer-sword will be changeable - and that's pretty exciting.

Fallen Order's customisation apparently takes inspiration from the lightsaber attraction at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, which allows guests to build their sabre from the crystal outwards.

So far, Cal has only been depicted wielding Star Wars' trademark blue as his lightsaber, and while there's nothing wrong with that, longtime fans are desperate to see different colours in there. Thankfully, Fallen Order also has the honour of restoring the orange lightsaber to Star Wars canon, with orange crystals having been expunged from the canon following Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012.

You can pick up an orange lightsaber simply by pre-ordering the game, but expect plenty of other crystals and hilts to appear throughout the story as well - just as there were in Jedi Academy and Knights of the Old Republic.

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.
