Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - 17 Easter Eggs, Secrets & References Explained
6. Tarfful
Lucasfilm
Kashyyyk has become an iconic location within the Star Wars canon, despite only appearing in one film and select Expanded Universe material. The reason why is obvious - it's the Wookie homeworld! And while Chewbacca is by far the most famous Wookie, there is another who should be familiar to Star Wars fans - Tarfful.
Tarfful served with Master Yoda during the Battle of Kashyyyk, and had strong links with the Jedi. He helps Yoda escape from Kashyyyk in Revenge of the Sith, and - while no longer classified as canon - had a part to play in 2005's Republic Commando video game.
Fallen Order is the first he's appeared outside of the prequel era though, which means the character's fate is still undetermined.
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.
