Star Wars Jedi: Survivor bacta tank theory could bring back a long lost character
Lucasfilm Gaming has confirmed a few more details about the sequel to Fallen Order, but not who that is in the bacta tank from the trailer.
The Star Wars Celebration event over the weekend may have premiered a number of new Star Wars TV shows (many weren’t made public but The Mandalorian Series 3 and Ahsoka ones have already been leaked, if you google for them) but there was really only one for video games.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the sequel to Fallen Order 2 but despite releasing the trailer almost nothing was revealed about the game, with an update today being the first to confirm that it is next gen only, i.e. it’ll only be released on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
The biggest question though is who that is in the bacta tank, with many fans beginning to think that the survivor of the title is the character in the tank, not protagonist Cal Kestis.
Initial theories included a Palpatine clone and Omega from The Bad Batch, since it’s not really clear whether the character is male or female. The most popular suggestion at the moment though is Starkiller from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
The problem with that theory is that The Force Unleashed is no longer canon and while this could be a way to bring Darth Vader’s secret apprentice back to the franchise his convoluted backstory would need a lot of explaining.
One other possibility though, is that it’s a character from the Knights Of The Old Republic era. Bacta is usually used to accelerate healing, as seen when Luke Skywalker is dunked in it at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, but similar looking tanks are also used for a variety of uses in Star Wars, such as cloning (at the beginning of The Rise Of Skywalker) and, it can be assumed, cryogenic storage.
