I remember booting up Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order back in 2019 with cautious curiosity. Respawn Entertainment had only done shooters like Titanfall before—what could they possibly know about lightsabers and Force powers? But then came that magical moment when Cal Kestis ignited his saber on Bracca, and suddenly, I was hooked. Fast forward to 2025, with Cal's final chapter looming, I've realized something profound: ending his story shouldn't mean ending this incredible franchise. The galaxy deserves more Jedi tales.

See, Respawn crafted something special here—not just Cal's journey, but a blueprint for Jedi storytelling. That lightsaber combat? Pure artistry. Those Metroidvania-level designs? Genius. Yet they've confirmed the third game closes Cal’s book. 💔 My heart sank hearing that. Why box this masterpiece into one character’s arc when the Star Wars universe brims with untold Jedi sagas? From the Clone Wars trenches to Luke’s failed academy, possibilities explode like thermal detonators!

Let’s dream bigger. Imagine playing as:

• ⚔️ A Padawan surviving Order 66 in the Outer Rim jungles

• 🔮 A High Republic scholar uncovering Force relics

• ☄️ An Old Republic knight battling ancient Sith legions

Respawn already proved they get Star Wars’ soul—the struggle between hope and darkness. Why not let them paint new canvases? Even established side characters deserve spotlights! Remember that scrappy young Jedi from Clone Wars who appeared for two episodes? Or one of Luke’s ill-fated students? Their stories could reshape how we see the sequel trilogy.

Heck, they could invent entirely new eras! The template’s there: tight combat, emotional stakes, gorgeous worlds. Abandoning this framework would be like junking a flawless X-wing engine. But if they embrace it? We could get decades of adventures. The Force whispers potential…if Respawn listens.

FAQ

Q: Won’t ending Cal’s story feel unsatisfying?

A: Not if done right! His trilogy already stands tall alongside KOTOR. But closure ≠ extinction.

Q: Could pre-established Jedi work as protagonists?

A: Absolutely! Think Quinlan Vos’ undercover missions or Plo Koon’s wisdom. So much lore to mine! 😍

Q: What if they shift genres?

A: Please no. That lightsaber combat is chef’s kiss. Keep the core—just swap the Jedi wearing the robes.

Q: When could we see a non-Cal game?

A: Realistically? 2028-2030. Respawn’s busy with the finale now. But hope burns bright!
