Star Wars simply isn't Star Wars without at least a couple of planets on display, and so it should come as no surprise to hear that including a few of them in Fallen Order would be kind of essential.
Of the locales on offer, we can probably assume that Coruscant will definitely make an appearance, seeing as how that's where the Jedi Temple was housed. As for others, there aren't really any clues to go off, other than the fact the likes of Tatooine, Lothal and Alderaan have all been heavily spotlighted in other Star Wars media during the same time period.
More exciting, perhaps, is that Fallen Order presents the perfect opportunity to showcase planets from the prequels in a whole new light, under the boot of Imperial rule. That's a really interesting angle to consider, given how rarely it's been explored in both the old and new canon, and how it already worked well in elements of the story for the original Star Wars: Battlefront sequel.

1. Who Is The First Character To Speak In Star Wars?
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.
