Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Review - 5 Ups & 3 Downs

4. The Lightsaber Customisation Is A Dream Come True

Not a lot was made of Fallen Order's customisation prior to release, and while the options to change the way Cal looks are disappointingly threadbare, lightsaber customisation is the best it's ever gotten.

Players can choose between three lightsaber colours to begin with (two if you didn't pre-order), in blue, green and - making its canon comeback - orange. The lattermost option is a unique draw, and it looks great, but it's not just the lightsaber crystal players can change. Respawn spared no expense and ensured that players can mix and match an array of emitters, switches, sleeves and even metals to create their very own blade. And when you factor in the unlockable double-bladed lightsaber, no other Star Wars game can really compare when it comes to allowing players full control over their weapon.

Without spoiling anything too heavily though, I will say that the customisation did feel at odds with a later story revelation. You see, Cal inherits his blade from his master, and while it's great Respawn gives players the tools to mess with their weapon right from the start, players searching for a more thematically resonant conclusion may wish to hold off changing their weapon until prompted by the story.
