Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - 10 MAJOR Questions We Still Need Answering

9. Where Is Everybody?

Jedi: Fallen Order takes place in the 15 years between episodes 3 and 4, and a bit before Rogue One, so we know that Jyn and her team are still alive.

The only question is, of course, where everyone is and what they're doing at the time of this game?

The game doesn't NEED to answer this for every Star Wars character, there aren't enough hours in the day, and even if they do manage it, it would be at the cost of the story ending up bloated and overly self-indulgent. But if Cal is going to be entrenched in the rebellion throughout this story, it would pay to have a few show up at least to say hi.

We know that Saw Gerrera is in the story, at least for the one level we were given in the demo. Will we meet others on our journey, like Jyn, Leia, or even the Star Wars: Rebels crew since they're in canon?

If the story wants to be as focused and efficient as possible, it shouldn't go out of its way to tell us where all the most recognizable characters are. But a few more here and there in the trailers would definitely go a long way to get lips flapping again.
