Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - 10 Things That MUST Be Included
5. Surprising Cameos
LucasArts
Star Wars games are no strangers to the odd cameo here and there. Luke Skywalker features prominently in Jedi Outcast and Academy, while Lando and even Boba Fett have cameos too. Neither felt all that out of place either, and with Fallen Order taking place relatively soon after the collapse of the Republic, there are some familiar faces fans should expect to see pop up.
One of the more obvious inclusions is Obi-Wan Kenobi, who transmitted the warning message for the surviving Jedi to stay away from the temple on Coruscant, but then there's also the likes of Bail Organa, Boba Fett and various other Bounty Hunters to consider too, especially with the game's protagonist being a Jedi fugitive.
Respawn may also look towards TV when looking for potential cameos. Star Wars: Rebels spotlighted the same time-gap albeit much closer to Episode IV than III, so the likes of Kanan (himself a fugitive Jedi) and Hera could make an appearance too.
This is obviously all just speculation, but if Respawn could find a way to make their game feel like a living, breathing part of the new canon, it would be all the more better for it.
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.
