Monaghan is perhaps alluding to conflicts like one glimpsed in the trailer, in which Cere Junda (played by Debra Wilson), a former Jedi who trained Cal in Jedi: Fallen Order, seems to take issue with Cal’s methods. “But what happens when you have hope in a situation that becomes increasingly hopeless? Different people have different ideas about what is the best way to resist.” But we have a character that was given meaning and a goal by this resistance, and he was given this hope, and that hope is very hard to extinguish,” Monaghan says. “We have a really dire situation that we find Cal in at the beginning of the game, where he is searching for ways to rebel that are becoming increasingly difficult and perhaps even hopeless. As the Imperials tighten their grip, rebels and outlaws feel the squeeze. There’s a five-year time jump between Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor, and the Empire has been expanding. “I think people are going to be really pleasantly surprised by just how this game progresses and where it goes as you get deeper into it.” “As much as the trailer does reveal some really cool and exciting things, it doesn’t give away the whole gist of what we’re going for with this one,” Monaghan says. He's quick to note, however, that the trailer is really just a small preview. “We’re starting to see hints as to where that’s going to branch off and what options you’re going to be given as a player.” This game is really ambitious in how much it is furthering and progressing not only the gameplay elements from Jedi: Fallen Order, but also furthering the story and the characters as well,” Monaghan says. “I think it’s a great introduction into the scope and the size of this new game. It's a stirring trailer, showcasing new enemies, allies, and abilities, while ending with some powerful words from Cal: “As long as we fight, hope survives.” For Monaghan, the trailer represents what the game experience will be. Jedi: Fallen Order went on to become one of the most beloved Star Wars games, and Cal a modern fan favorite - so much so that you can currently purchase Cal’s Legacy Lightsaber Hilt from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in the Disneyland Park in California and the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, the result of a fan vote.Ī sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, was announced in January, and last night at The Game Awards, Respawn Entertainment, Electronic Arts, and Lucasfilm Games confirmed the release date - April 28, 2023, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC - and dropped the first full trailer. Though his training was incomplete, he was thrust back into the fight and the ways of the Jedi the rest is gaming history. In Jedi: Fallen Order, set during the age of the Empire and Jedi-hunting Inquisitors, Cal was just looking to lay low and exist until fate intervened. “I remember my friends being really tripped out. As a joke, Monaghan would sit near friends, echoing the game’s dialogue or Cal’s grunts and screams as they happened on-screen. “I’d go over their house and they’d be playing it, and it would be really weird,” he tells, laughing. But while seeing himself in a game didn’t faze the actor, the same can’t be said for his loved ones. Monaghan had played the game’s protagonist, Cal Kestis, a Padawan survivor of Order 66, so it made for something of a perfect present. When Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order arrived in November 2019, Cameron Monaghan had an easy holiday gift for family and friends. Note: Following publication of this article, the release date of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was moved to April 28, 2023. With the debut of a new trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the actor speaks with about his return to the galaxy far, far away.
