Speaking in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, McGregor said: While there is no direct reference to Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order in McGregor’s words, the action/adventure game made by Respawn Entertainment does indeed take place in the same timeframe. Protagonist Cal Kestis is a young Padawan who finds himself on the run when Supreme Chancellor Palpatine betrays the Republic by initiating Order 66, which turned all clone troops against Jedi in what would be later known as the Great Purge. It’s the same backdrop of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, where the former master of Anakin Skywalker is on the run from Sith Inquisitors, the same enemies that pursue Kestis in Jedi Fallen Order. Whether that means actor Dominic Monaghan will make an appearance in Obi-Wan Kenobi as Cal Kestis, or conversely the character Obi-Wan Kenobi turns up in the upcoming Jedi Fallen Order sequel (rumored to be scheduled for 2023), it remains to be seen. It’s also possible that the respective characters will simply be mentioned rather than showing up as part of either storyline. The new Jedi Fallen Order game could be shown for the first time later this Summer after the announcement earlier this year. Until then, stay tuned.
