With their first title, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, being such a hit, a lot of attention was put on how the developers would top their past work. Fortunately, it seems that there was plenty of content that the development team had wanted to implement since they started developing the first installment.

According to the duo, they are bringing plenty of content into the game simply from not having enough time to add it within the first installment.

Paul Hatfield noted that each department had a bucket list of things they wanted to bring into the first game but were ultimately left on the table. An example of a feature we already noticed from the preview footage showcased in this upcoming installment was stances that players could trigger for combat. Features like that almost made it within Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order if the developers had enough time to craft the game.
