Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order may not have had the most exciting of reveals, but it certainly sounds like an interesting project. Playing as a Jedi in the dark time between episodes III and IV, this action adventure title from Respawn Entertainment sounds like it could have potential. It'll certainly be one to keep an eye out for in the months to come. In fact, we know precisely when we'll get to see it. EA has announced that the title will be shown off for the first time at Star Wars Celebration on 13th April.
It's obviously not clear what will be shown, but we'd hazard a guess at a trailer and maybe a bit of gameplay, as well as some chatter from the dev team, of course. We're very interested to check it out -- EA's track record so far with the Star Wars licence hasn't been exactly glowing, but Respawn is clearly a very talented studio. Hopefully this will land on the right side of the Force.

It could be great... I guess.
I'm still very much in the camp of really wanting the Boba Fett game that 1313 reportedly turned in to...
There's still over a month. It's never too late to be canceled.
Though, considering that Disney said that they're happy with the work EA has put into the Star Wars franchise, maybe this game is what they meant? Who knows.
If it's a live service game I am gonna be pissed😡
I’m still trying to hold out some hope...but EA’s handling of the franchise thus far is keeping my cynicism at the forefront.
So any idea of the genre of this game?
Also, it pleases my inner nerd immeasurably that the first comment on this new Star Wars story was made at 11:38pm UK time.
Somebody better get that now, otherwise I'll look weird(er than usual).
I don’t believe in EA anymore, I’m prepared to be disappointed.
EA is done for. No thanks.
This better be good.
@ellsworth004 Well, they've said it's a single-player, story-driven action game in which you play a Jedi, so it's pretty even money on either "third person hack n' slash button-bothering combo game" (a'la The Force Unleashed) or something a little more restrained, like the new Tomb Raider reboots but with lightsabers.
There's kinda no other way you can transcribe prequel-era Jedi action into accessible gameplay.
“I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”
I am actually kind of excited for the game, but it had to be said!
@RogerRoger well as long as its single player and i can be a jedi im in
EA is behind it? No thanks!
@RogerRoger I got the reference THanXs.
Has Respawn ever made anything other than first-person shooters? My expectations are fairly tempered but I will always be hopeful.
I love Respawn, but I'm still waiting for EA to screw this up somehow.
It's not like we haven't had TV shows and such exploring what happened between episodes 3 and 4. Why can't they use their imaginations and explore different time periods, go back to older jedi orders or sith. Why rehash all the clone wars
Maybe it's a political thriller where you get to play as Jar Jar constantly messing things up, kinda like EA themselves!
"You play as an EA studio during the dark times; right after the events of Andromeda and Anthem, and the fall of the Apex Legends. Can you escape the stranglehold of the dark side? Darth Wilson is watching your every move."
@BearsEatBeets
That's why they recruited Stig Asmussen quite a few years ago to work on this game. I used to think he was sort of recycling many ideas he planned for the SM cancelled sf game.
But then EA bought Respawn and who knows how they may have interfered.
I can't wait to see the Trailer that will look nothing like the real game I bet from EA(again)(especially if it says ingame footage) I would LOVE a brilliant game like say Uncharted like(i.e a brilliant story and brilliant gameplay) but was in the Star Wars universe But from EA I can't see me ever getting one :-/
@Carl-G That would have been Amy Hennigs game that got cancelled
Let's pray that EA does not alter the deal any further.
It's a trap!
Impossible to be excited about anything EA or Star Wass right now, I'll just wait until the finished or unfinished product releases.
@BearsEatBeets true, but then again Horizon Zero Dawn was a brilliant output from Guerilla after all the time they put into Killzone
Choosing to be optimistic about this. Respawn is a great dev and look forward to see what this game is all about!
I would really like this to be good, but we know there will be problems.
I'd much rather have a game set in the KOTOR era rather than one set in between III & IV. But, I'm a huge Star Wars dork and will probably play it anyway.
@ztpayne7 good point, let’s hope they can do just as well switching it up.
EA no thanks! I expect it’s geared up for multiplayer loot box rip off transactions. Very doubtful it’s got a rich single player campaign to enjoy.
