In a story set decades before the time of the Skywalkers, many seemingly-unconnected paths align as a galaxy that's enjoyed a long period of peace is beginning to move towards war once again, as the Force falls out of balance. Players will explore the lives of a variety of characters across all walks of life, as their every action can change the course of history.
Previews: 2021 Game Awards Announcement Trailer
This game provides examples of:
- Call-Forward: Several in the first trailer to later Star Wars works.
- Yoda can be seen looking out the tower of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
- A protocol droid appears, and it has a face that looks similar to C-3PO's.
- The Lucrehulks first seen in The Phantom Menace are revealed here to have been in use decades before the Naboo Crisis, as the unconventionally-designed warships appear to be functionally identical to the ones seen in that movie.
- Various religious groups that were seen on Jedha in Rogue One have followers that appear in the streets of a crowded city.
- Drums of War: The action of the trailer is compounded by a group of aliens playing a drum-based ritual.
- Take It to the Bridge: The trailer shows two Jedi sparring on a bridge against, what is either a beautiful sunset or a gorgeous sunrise.
