Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - 10 Things That MUST Be Included

6. Do Something Different With The Setting

There's no denying the appeal in exploring the time period in between Episodes III and IV (Rogue One in particular showcased just how much potential the setting has), but compared to most other Star Wars settings... it's a little overdone, even if it does offer the most freedom for storytellers.

Dozens of EU tales both canon or otherwise have focused on the period, and it was even the touted setting for the cancelled 1313. However, there are so many other timelines yet to be depicted in the new canon, including the Old Republic, the period before The Phantom Menace, and the years between each film in the Original Trilogy.

Marvel in particular have managed to tell some of the best Star Wars stories in recent memory by fleshing out the space in between Episodes IV and V, while relatively little has spotlighted the months leading up to the Return of the Jedi.

Point being, Respawn haven't exactly carved out uncharted territory by going for the post-Republic milieu, and they need to do something new with it with their fugitive Jedi story to make it feel unique.
