In late 2019 a new Star Wars game was released called Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Fallen Order was a dark soul-type single-player story-based game made by EA studios that took place after the events of the Clone Wars. It had the players take control of Cal Kestis, a Jedi padawan who survived the dreaded order 66.
Cal then has to survive being hunted by the Empire and even Darth Vader himself. Now with the news of the sequel Jedi: Survivor that will come out sometime next year fans are wondering what will happen between the two games.
Well now fans will not have to guess what happened as a new book will be released on March 7th of next year called Jedi: Battle Scars. This book will bridge the gap between the two games and follow Cal and the Mantis crew on more adventures and show what they were doing after Fallen Order.
Who will write the book?
“Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars will be written by Sam Maggs, who has previously penned books and comics for Marvel and DC, plus video games such as Tiny Tina’s Wonderland and, fittingly, the upcoming Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic remake.” according to Euro Gamers.net. While there is still no solid release date for Jedi: Survivor an art book for the game was also announced to be released on May 2nd.
Fallen Order was such a hit game due to there not being any other Star Wars game like it ever, even more so a single-player game from EA studios. What is next for Cal Kestis though? It has been rumored that he will pop up in a Disney Plus show and maybe even in Andor which is set five years before the events of Rouge One.
Cal Kestis also made a camo in one of the latest Star Wars novels Brotherhood. Cal was still just a youngling at the time but it was him nonetheless. That makes it cannon that Cal and Anakin Skywalker have met each other.
Who is Cal Kestis?
Cal Kestis is quickly becoming a fan favorite as he already has his lightsaber for sale at Galaxies edge. If Cal Kestis were to show up in live action it will be interesting to see who the cast to play him, and in what show or movie he will show up in. Cal’s Journey is far from over and it will be very interesting to see what he will get into in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
