But we can go further than just referencing the TV shows. As good a place to start as it is, now that the game has folks hooked, now's the chance for Respawn to really dig into the Star Wars lore. And before you go on about the old EU being cut, the current EU has been rather busy in the background.

Whether it's small stuff like having Cal visit Akiva from Chuck Wendig's Star Wars: Aftermath, or huge stuff like Jyn Erso showing up or someone breaking out Teras Kasi to win a fight, Star Wars has a bunch of big and small lore hidden around that Respawn can break out for a big fanservice moment.

They wouldn't even have to bring all that much attention to it, and just let the fans figure it out for themselves. Like how they made Cal's master the same race as Zeb from Rebels and they don't even use the race's name, the player just has to discern that for themselves.

Little, unobtrusive ways to reward fandom like that are something that we hope this series continues.
