What will happened to Cal? At the End of The Jedi: Fallen Order Game.
- Thread starter Yukari
- Start date
I want Cal to turn to the darkside, potentially becoming an Inquisitor which will lead to his death by the hands of the Grand Inquisitor or one of the other Jedi that still live. He's not that strong in the force.
I'm bored with all these new characters always ending up helping the Rebels though. Iden was such a let down.

They either endup in hiding, or dead or written out in certain ways (Ezra in Rebels ended up presumably in the unknown regions, so that was a good excuse to write him out of the original trilogy time period) and by the time Obi-Wan was gone Luke was presumably The Last Jedi in the galaxy (excluding Yoda) for a long time.
The game being set in the early days of the Empire means Cal might not get get killed though.

They said his character wont be a retread of Kanan from Rebels arc (another Jedi that survived order 66 and joined the rebellion) at least and that he'll have his own story, so that's a bit of a relief to me. Gives me hope that they're gonna go for something different with Cals story even if he does have some run-ins with folks like Saw.
See my post above. My theory is that he is actually Snoke.
Edit: Oops sorry double post
I'm going with dead, seems the most likely.
That's kind of the problem when they keep making material set between III and IV, you're working yourself into a corner when you're using Jedi characters.
Although you could argue that Cal is not a real Jedi, similar to Kanan and Ezra in Rebels.

Of course, Kanan did in fact die and Ezra is MIA.
The cover of the game has some symbols arranged in a ring on it that kind of put me in mind of some similar rings from Rebels:
(it's not identical tho, so this could be completely off-base)

Cal's gonna end up time travelling to either the future - probably a few years post ROTJ - or the distant past, and staying there either way.
Respawn made it very clear in interviews that Cal's story is a self contained, complete entity. Reading between the lines, that sounds an awful lot like he ends up dying at the end of the game.
The question is how, and what does Cal contribute to the universe. We know he isn't responsible for the formation of the rebel alliance, that was covered in Rebels, so they aren't going to go with The Force Unleashed's "Jedi sacrifices himself to kickstart the rebellion" ending. We also know he can't end up successful in his mission to restart the Jedi order.

There is rumours that Rebels doing that was a part in setting up a certain plot device for Rise of Skywalker.
It's known that Rey and Kylo Ren are going to have a fight that causes them to flash through different environments and possibly eras from the previous movies.
So it would make sense if Fallen Order also taps into the same plot device to make it even more widely known.
That would be a shame if the actor is getting type casted but that theory makes sense.
This is the sort of problem you end up with when everything has to be canon.
Personally I think it was a bad decision that absolutely everything Star Wars has to be part of canon now.
I enjoyed it a lot more when Jedi Fallen Order could just be a Star Wars story about some Jedi on a adventure that didn't have to fit with everything else.
It just become so incredibly convoluted and weird when you have so many stories with known and unknown characters of very varying quality.

I remember watching through Clone Wars and thinking, "Wow it's going to be a big deal when they inevitably kill Ahsoka at the end of this," but apparently having all the Jedi dead by the time A New Hope rolls around isn't as hard a rule as I anticipated.
