Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Released 5 Years Ago Today! Here’s Why It Still Rocks the Galaxy

November 15, 2024November 15, 2024 Soeren Kamper

It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order crash-landed onto our screens. And by “crash-landed,” I mean Cal Kestis (aka our favorite ex-Jedi-in-training) surviving Order 66, fighting Purge Troopers, and doing parkour off cliffs like it’s all in a day’s work. This milestone deserves some good old-fashioned reflection—preferably in a cantina where stormtroopers can’t aim and Wookiees don’t know the meaning of “quiet conversation.” So, what makes Jedi: Fallen Order such a timeless gem in the Star Wars universe? Let’s pop open the cargo hold of nostalgia and dive in. A Narrative Worthy of the Jedi Archives The Plot That Made Sense (For Once) Jedi: Fallen Order follows Cal Kestis, a Padawan who survived the dreaded Order 66. By the way, let’s take a moment to acknowledge that “Order 66” should’ve come with a “Warning: Side Effects Include Galactic Downfall” label. But Cal’s story…
