Electronic Arts has announced plans to make three more Star Wars games, with developer Respawn overseeing all of them. One of those games is a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, confirming reports that we'd hear an announcement for a Fallen Order sequel this year. This is welcome news to me. Playing through Respawn's Star Wars action-adventure was one of my favorite experiences from 2019, so I'm excited at the potential of continuing the adventure of the Stinger Mantis crew. But if I could make one suggestion for a sequel, I think Respawn should switch up who the protagonist of the next game is. Instead of Cal, we should play as Merrin.

In Fallen Order, Merrin is one of the last surviving members of the Nightsister clan of Dathomir. The Nightsisters are basically space witches who utilize a variation of Force sorcery to perform arcane-like magic, of which Merrin seems particularly adept. After Merrin meets Cal, the two bond under the shared belief that they're the last of their respective orders, and she joins him and the Stinger Mantis crew in their fight. She adds some wonderful levity to the crew dynamic, and actor Tina Ivlev does an incredible job voicing and portraying Merrin as this adorable, socially awkward person who hides that side of her with a dry sarcasm.
