Jedi: Survivor's Biggest Problem Is Star Wars Saturation
The highly anticipated Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be arriving on store shelves next year, but thanks to the seemingly never-ending cycle of Star Wars media — particularly in the time period in between Episode III and Episode IV — there is a worry that the game could struggle from saturation. Despite the successes and high viewing figures of shows such as Star Wars Rebels and Obi-Wan Kenobi, there is a growing feeling that different eras of the Star Wars universe — such as the High Republic, seen in Star Wars Eclipse - should be explored, with much of the current media focusing on the dark times between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. While this era of the canontimeline is exciting and features many of the series' favorite characters interacting, there is a growing sense of saturation given how many recent stories occupy that space on the timeline, with Andor set to add to the list later in 2022.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the sequel to 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which received critical acclaim for its fluid take on lightsaber gameplay and emotional canon story. Jedi: Survivor is set in 9 BBY - five years after Fallen Order — and will continue with protagonist Cal Kestis evading Inquisitors and the Empire while he struggles with the guilt of being one of the last remaining surviving Jedi. As with the first game, Jedi: Survivor will introduce new characters to the Star Wars mythos, including the shadowy Imperial senator spotlighted in the first trailer.
