Lucasfilm Games and Respawn Entertainment have revealed that the third Star Wars Jedi game will be the final chapter for Cal Kestis. Beginning with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and continuing in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Cal’s story has quickly become a fan-favorite thanks to Cameron Monaghan’s stellar acting, giving fans the point of view of a different kind of Jedi.
Cal Kestis is not only an interesting protagonist, but his journey has also taken fans across the galaxy to visit new Star Wars planets as well as some familiar ones. With the third game being the series’ finale, it would be an opportune time to bring in planets from the franchise’s past films and series, allowing players to explore them up close and personal as a Jedi.
8 Nar Shaddaa
The Darker And Grittier Sister Of Coruscant
- First Appeared In: Star Wars: Dark Empire
- Region: Outer Rim
Coruscant was featured in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, but only briefly, with little-to-no opportunity to explore. This can be made up for by introducing Nar Shaddaa, which was referenced in both previous games. It is similar to Coruscant, being a planet-wide city, but it is far more infested with scum and villainy, since it is located within the Nal Hutta system.
The grittier city landscape could feature Imperials, intergalactic crime syndicates, and bounty hunters for Cal to fight, including possible members of the Hutt family other than Jabba. Depending on the time in which the new Star Wars Jedi game takes place, a criminal underworld like this could surprise fans by featuring a surprise appearance from Kay Vess from Star Wars Outlaws, although the game timelines don’t match up perfectly at the moment.
7 Christophsis
The First Planet Seen In The Clone Wars
- First Appeared In: Star Wars: The Clone Wars
- Region: Outer Rim
So much of the lore featured in the Star Wars Jedi games started in animated shows like Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. To cap off the trilogy, it can honor The Clone Wars by returning to the planet where it all began; the crystalline world of Christophsis.
With mountains, landscapes, and cities made entirely out of crystal, Christophsis would provide a video game visual that no other Star Wars game has tackled before, even the unique planets made just for games. Fans would be able to see how the planet flourished or declined because of the war, and what kind of fauna is found on a planet made of pure crystal.
6 Yavin 4
Cal Could Explore The Rebel Base And More
- First Appeared In: Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope
- Region: Outer Rim
Considering how much damage Cal Kestis has done to the Empire since debuting in the games, it seems unlikely that the Rebel Alliance never noticed him. Especially when Cal works with Saw Gerrera in both games. If there is another large time jump, Cal could meet iconic characters such as Mon Mothma, Hera Syndulla, Cassian Andor, and others.
Yavin 4 is the famous base for the Rebel Alliance in A New Hope, Star Wars Rebels, and Rogue One, which is almost exclusively shown from the rebel base. Having it in Star Wars Jedi would allow fans to explore and expand upon the planet, maybe uncovering Jedi secrets that have never been seen before.
5 Endor
The Forests And Oceans Where The Empire Ended
- First Appeared In: Star Wars Episode 6: Return of the Jedi
- Region: Outer Rim
The sequel trilogy brought the heroes back to the moon of Endor to explore the remnants of the second Death Star as an important part of Sith and Jedi lore. Perhaps if the third Star Wars Jedi game takes place post-Return Of The Jedi, there could be other mysteries and elements aboard the destroyed station for Cal to discover.
Perhaps Cal’s story will find a way to connect to the movies and the Disney+ shows that take place in a similar era. This not only sets up the potential for Cameron Monaghan to appear in live-action, but could also show even more of the famous planet where the Empire originally came to an end, something Cal would likely cherish.
4 Mortis
A Place To Uncover Mysteries Of The Force
- First Appeared In: Star Wars: The Clone Wars
- Region: Wild Space
In his pursuit of the means to either fight or flee the Empire, Cal has uncovered many secrets of the Jedi. That could continue in the third game, allowing him to explore Mortis, a certain hidden planet from one of the best arcs of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. This was the planet where Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano encountered the three Force gods.
Since the Mortis gods died by the end of the arc, Cal could be given the chance to learn the Father, Son, and Daughter’s histories through the Metroidvania-like gameplay that the Star Wars Jedi games are known for. On top of that, the planet’s biomes would rapidly age, change weather patterns, and alter within minutes, and that could be used in puzzles for players to solve.
3 Mustafar
Cal Can Take The Fight To Darth Vader’s Home
- First Appeared In: Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge Of The Sith
- Region: Outer Rim
Twice now, Darth Vader has played a part in Cal’s adventures in both Star Wars Jedi games. It’s unlike Darth Vader to simply let his prey go and, after all the fighting against the Empire that Cal has done, the Sith Lord will likely make Cal his next target. However, Darth Vader was, sadly, the one to kill Cal’s master, Cere Junda, so perhaps Cal will want to take the fight to Vader instead.
This could all lead to Cal discovering Darth Vader’s fortress on Mustafar, the very place where Anakin Skywalker burned and was reborn as the Sith lord. On top of being able to explore Darth Vader’s castle, the lava-ridden planet would test Cal’s physical prowess and his strength to resist the Dark Side.
2 Bespin
The Cloud City Remains A Beloved And Scenic Location
- First Appeared In: Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back
- Region: Outer Rim
Cal often finds himself accidentally encountering famous Star Wars characters from the past. Depending on when the third Star Wars Jedi game takes place, Cal could find himself on Bespin to meet the famous Lando Calrissian before or after becoming administrator of Cloud City. Cal could even play a part in Lando going from scoundrel to a leader.
Cloud City was a stand-out level in Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast and the Battlefront series, but fans have never had a chance to explore it in much detail. In The Empire Strikes Back, fans were only given a small glimpse of the city, but the diverse locations, combined with potential new ones, would allow for plenty of traversal and exploration opportunities.
1 Naboo
One Of The Most Important Locations For Prequel Fans
- First Appeared In :Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace
- Region: Mid Rim
Fans of the Star Wars prequel era will recognize Naboo, the serene home planet of Padmé Amidala, Emperor Palpatine, and Jar Jar Binks. It features lush green fields, swamps, the Gungan City, and the ornate city of Theed, all of which have appeared in other Star Wars games of the past, including the Battlefront series.
Theed, with its many citizens, would be an ideal location for Cal to explore and obtain new side quests, and the same can be said for the Gungan City. Where a lot of planets are grungy and filthy, Naboo is always beautiful to behold. As a bonus, it would allow Cal to learn more about Darth Vader, and possibly his identity, using his ability to see Force Echoes by visiting the grave of Padme.
