Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was a success for both EA and Disney. Fans of videogames and Star Wars rejoiced with the release of Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and have clamored for a sequel ever since. Fans would love a deeper combat system, and to further explore the galaxy far, far away for themselves as the newly introduced protagonist Cal Kestis.
With the reveal trailer of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, fans began speculating on who or what could appear in the anticipated sequel. Star Wars is no stranger to letting the toys out of the toy box to play, and Jedi: Survivor sure has a lot of toys that players could enjoy.
10 Obi-Wan Kenobi
With Star Wars Jedi: Survivor set five years after the events of the first game, that would put the game’s timeline in line with the Disney Plus series, Obi-Wan Kenobi. This creates quite the predicament for the Empire, and Emperor Palpatine’s Inquisitors, as not only are they seeking Cal Kestis, but now have to worry about Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Cal finding Kenobi could bring a great dynamic, of a hopeful former Padawan and a shattered and hopeless Master. There could be a great relationship to explore between Obi-Wan and Cal, and perhaps Cal would be the spark to Obi-Wan that all is not lost after Order 66.
9 Emperor Palpatine
There could be no Empire without Darth Sidious, Emperor Palpatine himself. Cal Kestis’ life as a Jedi Padawan was forever changed after Palpatine executed Order 66. Now, force-sensitive beings like Cal are forever hunted.
The inclusion of The Emperor would reiterate how important it is that the inquisitors hunt down the remaining Jedi survivors, to not displease the powerful, manipulative and creepy Sith Lord. Palpatine’s role could be more than meets the eye, and he could watch Cal’s career with great interest.
8 Bossk
As a bounty hunter, Bossk could bring another element to the cat and mouse game that seems present with the remaining Jedi in the galaxy. It seems that no one is an ally to the Jedi after the events of Order 66, and bounty hunters would surely love to claim whatever reward is available to a force user.
Bossk could be a technical marvel too, due to the detail of his scales as a Trandoshan. Combat against Bossk could feel like something out of PREDATOR, as the Trandoshan bounty hunter is known for his cunning and trap work.
7 Quinlan Vos
This character has an interesting relationship with canon, as most of his story is told through comics and novels. He was introduced to Star Wars fans in the animated series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and is notable for helping turn Count Dooku’s former Sith apprentice, Asajj Ventress, into a Jedi. She sacrificed herself for Vos, due to their mutual love for one another.
Vos was noted to survive the Jedi Purge and was also a priority target for Inquisitors. Since Vos once embraced the dark side, it would be interesting to see his dynamic with Cal and to see if he has any warnings for Cal about the dark side.
6 Boba Fett
The fan-favorite bounty hunter that spurred the creation of the Mandalorians, Boba Fett’s latest debut was in The Book of Boba Fett, after his return to canon post-Sarlacc with The Mandalorian. During the events of Jedi: Survivor, Boba Fett would be in his bounty hunting prime, and sporting his father’s armor with his paint job and poncho.
Cal is no stranger to being hunted by bounty hunters, and a big portion of Fallen Order follows this very thread. Adding Boba Fett to the mix, and having him hunt the player as new prey would be a fanboy moment for many, as well as an intimidating one. Hopefully, there are no disintegration.
5 Ahsoka Tano
A fan favorite of former Jedi, Ahsoka Tano. Ahsoka made her debut in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and has since appeared in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and soon, her live-action show, Ahsoka. Ahsoka was present during the time of this game, as she was seen in Star Wars: Rebels during the Empire days.
Ahsoka has always been a hopeful force-user and bringing back Ashley Eckstein to voice the wise and passionate Togruta, wielding her two iconic white lightsabers, would be a dream for many die-hard Star Wars fans. Her relationship with Cal could reassure him that he is not alone as a Jedi.
4 Kanan Jarrus
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s protagonist, Cal Kestis, has many similarities to Star Wars: Rebels’ Kanan Jarrus. Both characters were Padawans who watched their masters die, survived Order 66, and shut themselves off from the force for some time.
Bringing these two Jedi Knights together would help them understand each other, and to overcome the grief and tragedy of Order 66, knowing that both Jedi are not alone in this seemingly impossible fight against the Empire.
3 Yoda
The wisest of them all, and proof that size matters not. Grandmaster Yoda exiled himself to Dagobah after the events of Revenge of the Sith. The Empire Strikes Back was the first introduction to Yoda and the true power and mysteries around the Force. As Luke Skywalker trained with Yoda, we learned more about our little green friend and the swamp planet.
To have Cal travel to Dagobah and reunite with the Grandmaster of the Jedi would fill Cal with a hope not seen since the golden age of the Republic. It would be a great moment between the ultimate teacher, and a hopeless Padawan.
2 Starkiller
The lead protagonist of the fan-favorite Star Wars game, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Galen Marek faded away from the Star Wars spotlight once Disney purchased Lucasfilm, and placed the events of the game into Legends, which means non-canon.
Jedi: Survivor could be the perfect game to reintroduce Starkiller and the return Sam Witwer as the character. Many fans have already theorized how Starkiller could be introduced into the canon. The inclusion of Inquisitors would make a perfect entrance for Starkiller as a fierce and uncontrolled hunter of Cal, to perhaps an ally with his spin-off later down the line.
1 Maul
Star Wars fans adore the menacing Maul. From his first appearance in The Phantom Menace to his return in Clone Wars, and his conclusion in Rebels. Maul has had a long journey, and fans clamor for more Maul ever since he stabbed Obi-Wan’s Master in the stomach all those years ago. Players have already gone through Maul’s home planet Dathomir, and to have Maul play a mysterious mentor role would be a great introduction, especially after the disappointment of the canceled Darth Maul game.
Maul somewhat grooms Ezra Bridger in Rebels as his apprentice, and Maul could appear in Jedi: Survivor under the same guise. Cal more than likely knows about Maul because of the Clone Wars and would be fearful and cautious of him, but perhaps Maul has something he needs. Either way, a boss fight between these two would be legendary.
