With Obi-Wan Kenobi coming in hot, and a slew of other projects following close behind, the synergy Lucasfilm have sought to uphold for almost a decade continues to be of prime importance. That may seem an overstatement, but when actors – who in all fairness have zero requirement to be a fan of the product they lend their talents to – are keen to highlight that linked up thinking, it can only get the old grey matter pulsing with questions. Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel, Ewan McGregor was keen to point out how TV, film and video games to name just three need to sync up.
In the interview, he praises director Deborah Chow who “really knows [her stuff]” regarding the various media the Star Wars universe inhabits. McGregor says that “all of the storylines have to … match up” and you “can’t have some fact in a video game that doesn’t match up to the movie.”
It’s a known fact that Star Wars Jedi: Fall Order is situated around the same time as the events of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. It isn’t that big of a hyperspace jump to think we could see a cameo from Cal Kestis or another Fallen Order character.
In Jedi Fallen Order, Cal is hunted down by the Jedi hunting Inquisitors. In fact, both Fallen Order and the Obi-Wan series feature The Inquisitors as the main villains. Check out our Jedi: Fallen Order review to see just what we thought of Cal’s adventure. Could he be in Obi-Wan Kenobi?
Could this mean Fallen Order links, beyond the Inquisitors presence? Certainly we’re in Rebels territory. Not long to go to find out.
