Actor Noshir Dalal, known for his role as Bode Akuna in Star Wars Jedi Survivor, had high praise for writer Aaron Contreras — calling his passion for Star Wars “unparalleled.”
The comment came in a recent interview discussing Contreras’ history with the franchise, including his work on Star Wars Jedi titles and his new role as narrative lead on Star Wars Zero Company.
“God, the guy’s just amazing. His love for Star Wars is just unparalleled,” Dalal said, reflecting on Contreras’ contributions.
From Survivor and Fallen Order to Zero Company
Contreras has become one of the most talked-about writers in Star Wars gaming due to his work on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Both titles have been widely praised for their narrative depth, character development, and ability to expand Star Wars lore in game form.
Now, Contreras has shifted roles to lead the narrative vision for Star Wars Zero Company, a project slated for release in 2026 that is already generating buzz within the community.
Dalal’s comments suggest not just respect for Contreras’ craft, but genuine admiration for his personal connection to Star Wars — something many fans care deeply about when it comes to the storytelling behind major franchise projects.
Why this matters for Zero Company
Narrative leadership has a significant impact on how Star Wars stories are shaped across media. Writers who deeply understand the themes, tone, and emotional core of Star Wars are often the ones fans remember long after a title’s release.
Contreras’ track record — from the emotional arcs in the Jedi games to the anticipation building around Zero Company — shows a consistency in understanding what resonates with players.
Hearing an actor like Dalal call that “unparalleled” adds weight to the idea that Zero Company’s narrative could be a major selling point for the game.
Community reaction
Among players and lore enthusiasts, Contreras’ departure from the Jedi team and his leadership on Zero Company has sparked curiosity. Some fans see it as a chance for fresh narrative direction, while others hope the emotional storytelling that defined Fallen Order and Survivor carries forward into the new title.
Dalal’s praise will likely fuel both sides of that conversation — reinforcing Contreras’ reputation while reminding the community that the personal passion behind a writer often translates into memorable storytelling.
What’s next
Star Wars Zero Company does not currently have a confirmed release date, but it is expected in 2026. As development progresses, narrative details and story insights will be key areas fans watch closely.
With Contreras now leading the narrative charge, there’s growing expectation that Zero Company may have some of the emotional and thematic strengths that made the Jedi games stand out.
