The Timeframe and Setting of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Hopeful fans of the upcomingJedi: Survivorare looking at the events of2019’sJedi: Fallen Orderto ascertain what they can expect from the upcoming game.Fallen Ordertakes place in the early years of the Galactic Empire and the collapse of the Jedi Order following the Clone Wars, providing a more intimate insight into a relatively unexplored era ofStar Wars’mainline story.
It has been confirmed that the events ofJedi: Survivorwill take place five years after those of its predecessor. The game will still be set in an era where the sinister Empire was consolidating its power by hunting down the surviving remnants of Jedi that escaped themassacre of Order 66, with these few remaining Jedi - including Ahsoka - being scattered around the Galaxy.
Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: Jedi Survivor
Many fans of the widerStar Warsfranchise will be familiar withthe character of Ahsoka Tano, as the popular Jedi features more and more inStar Warsmedia. Ahsoka originally debuted in the successfulStar Wars: The Clone Warsanimated film and TV show, where she played the role of Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan.
Due to this specialized tutelage, Ahsoka grew to become an extremely competent Jedi, opting for the unusual but tactically advantageous style of dual lightsabers. On top of receiving huge roles in the aforementionedClone Warsand the animatedRebelsshows, Ahsoka recently made her first live-action appearance in the Disney+ showThe Mandalorian, further pushing the character into the limelight.
Ahsoka is also set to receive her very ownlive-action show on Disney+, simply namedAhsoka. Given the increasing relevancy and presence that the character has across the widerStar Warsfranchise, it makes sense for Ahsoka to appear in the events ofJedi: Survivor. Ahsoka is one of the few Jedi to survive Order 66, and despite leaving the Jedi Order prior to this, she maintained a fair moral compass and disdain for the Empire that saw her help a multitude of other survivors in their fight against the oppressive regime.
This makes Ahsoka the perfect candidate for an appearance inJedi: Survivor, with her still being active in a fight against the Empire, while also helping surviving Jedi - possibly including Cal Kestis. Otherpre-existing characters such as Saw Gerreraappeared inFallen Order, meaning a precedent is set within the franchise for this kind of cameo. Given the growing acclaim and wider narrative importance of the character, Ahsoka appearing inJedi Survivorwould be a great prospect for many fans.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivoris expected to launch in 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
