One of the few details that Respawn Entertainment has revealed about its upcoming game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, is that players will assume the role of a Jedi in a time when the Jedi are being hunted. The timeline is set between Star Wars Episodes 3 and 4, and this small piece of information has fans wondering what kind of predicaments they could find themselves in.

Fans are already excited to see what Respawn will do with the Star Wars license, and what the studio's scribes will do with the rich history and lore of its world. Speaking of writers, Chris Avellone, the writer of Fallout: New Vegas, is also working on the game, with the veteran developer having confirmed his involvement in a tweet.

According to Avellone's social media post, he has "just finished up work" on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The developer did not say what his role was on Respawn's team for the science fiction project, beyond confirming that he did writing work on the game.

For fans who love Avellone's work, this news will be great to hear. The script and story of Fallout: New Vegas is one of its most highly praised elements. So, the fact that Avellone has lent his talents to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order gives some fans confidence about that game's narrative.

The fact that Avellone has now completed work on the game also means that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is well on its way towards making it holiday 2019 release date target. While some may have raised questions about the schedule due to the phenomenal success of Apex Legends (Respawn's other game), it seems that development on the Star Wars game is progressing as expected.

Respawn will likely share more about the narrative of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order next month. Many had expected Respawn and the game's publisher, EA, to keep quiet about the project until E3 2019, but it looks as if the game will make some sort of appearance during the Star Wars Celebration Chicago event that takes place in mid-April.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was announced nearly three years ago, and fans have yet to catch a glimpse of concept art, let alone any gameplay footage. After many months of anticipation, the Star Wars Celebration panel could deliver the first proper look at the game, and finally reveal what Avellone and the team at Respawn have been working on.
