Cal
Cal's lightsaber belonged to his master.
At Celebration 2019, Word of God stated that while it didn't belong to him, it has an intimate meaning to him.- Confirmed, it belonged to Cal's master, Jaro Tapal and was given to him before Tapal died during Order 66.
Second Sister
The Second Sister is Barriss Offee.
The Second Sister is a pre-established character.
The Second Sister is a new character.
- Confirmed, it's Cere's Padawan, Trilla Suduri.
The Second Sister is someone important to Cal, such as a former mentor or a childhood friend/lover.
They definitely seem to be obfuscating her face on purpose for some kind of twist. Some might think it's because they are a previously established character, but there's an equal chance they are someone native to the game and written for the story.- It's possible for them to be both a previously established character and also someone important to Cal. To use Barriss as an example, we don’t see everything she does and she only shows up a few times overall. So for all we know she could’ve been hanging out with Cal when not with Ahsoka or something something else for example.
- Jossed, and Cal didn't know Trilla before Order 66.
The Second Sister is Naare from "LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures."
The Freemaker Adventures has been described as "canon paraphrase." The basic events covered by are canon but the specifics are not, like a child acting out the events with their toys. One of the show's characters, Rogers, was made the narrator of a canon reference book about droids and Naare's species (humanoid with color-changing facial tattoos) was also shown in Solo. Naare in The Freemaker Adventures was a dark side user working for the Empire, which is in line with what an Inquisitor is.- Jossed.
- Jossed
Inquisitors
We will see other Inquisitors, both existing and others that haven't been introduced to yet.
- Confirmed. The Ninth Sister will be appearing. And if the Databank on the Star Wars website is to be believed, the Seventh Sister will show up as well.
- Jossed regarding the Seventh Sister. She does not appear.
Story
The MC's lightsaber hilt was broken during Order 66.
- It wasn't Cal's lightsaber, but the gist of this WMG remains.
- Confirmed, it was Jaro Tapal's lightsaber that got damaged by blaster fire during Order 66 and was given to Cal before he died.
Gameplay
There will be an infamy system or something akin to it.
The tagline is "Don't stand out." You have to act like a normal person, and if you have to do anything, you have to be stealthy and avoid use (or at least obvious use) of your Force powers. NPCs and surveillance equipment may notice if you act nervously or strangely, and they'll freak out and/or report you if they see you making a scene and/or using the Force. Consequences range from being recognized by NPCs, having patrols of Stormtroopers and Imperials looking for, Inquisitors looking for you, and if you somehow survive that, then Darth Vader will look for you. Darth Vader will essentially be a case of Controllable Helplessness leading to an inevitable gameover.- This basically seems like the "wanted" system in Grand Theft Auto, where as your "wanted" level goes up the Imperial response to your presence gets worse. To build on that idea, there could be a combined "wanted/infamy" system where there's a short term "wanted" system which dies down over time and a long term "infamy" system which doesn't die down. The higher your "infamy" gets, the faster your "wanted" level goes up when you get noticed by Imperials.
- To build on this even further, the moral choices in this game could boil down to "Doing the right thing, but raising your Infamy" versus "Letting bad things happen, but keeping your Infamy low." This would be more nuanced than the moral choices in games like Knights of the Old Republic which boil down to "Light Side" versus "Dark Side."
- Jossed. Once Cal gets outed at the beginning of the game he no longer tries to hide or avoid drawing attention to himself. That said, Darth Vader does show up at the end of the game, including a moment of Controllable Helplessness.
At the start of the game, the main character will not be able to use their lightsaber for long.
The teaser image and one of the taglines ("Broken hilt.") indicates that the lightsaber in the image has a broken hilt. Assuming this is the MC's lightsaber, this will probably be to discourage the player from taking more offensive/quick approaches due to the danger involved if your lightsaber shorts out in the middle of it (for example, if your lightsaber shorts out while you're fighting an Inquisitor, then you're screwed). Later on during the story, however, the lightsaber will be rebuilt, so you're open to whatever playing style you want now. Returning Characters
Cal will come across Quinlan Vos.
In the first trailer, the dead clone trooper he finds seems to be a part of the 41st Elite Corps due to his color scheme and the environment appearing to be Kashyyyk. Since Vos was on Kashyyyk with Luminara at the end of the Clone Wars and also managed to survive Order 66, Maybe Cal will learn that Vos is still alive and/or come across him on his journey.Cal will meet Ahsoka.
Cal will come across Luminara and we will see how she was caught and killed.
Snoke will appear
Commander Cody will appear as a villain
It's still unknown what happened to him after the Empire, so this could be an opportunity to feature him.Darth Vader will make an appearance.
Either in a cameo where he gives orders to the Second Sister via hologram or as an actual antagonist.- Confirmed, he's the Final Boss.
Maul will appear
And, considering the heavy presence of Inquisitors in the game and timeframe, we may see how he got his Solo/Rebels-era lightsaber. Sequels
The sequel will be about Cal hunting down Inquisitors.
This would also explain why the Inquisitors suddenly stop chasing after Ezra and Kanan halfway through Rebels. The Mandalorian will appear in the sequels as a cameo or minor character.
He may appear as a bounty hunter, a rebel, or something similar.- Alternatively, the game may take place at the same time as The Mandalorian and will incorporate Grogu’s call somehow.
The sequel's Player Character will be an Inquisitor.
S/he will be conscripted into the Inquisitorius, and will spend the game trying desperately to hold on to his/her humanity while not pissing off Vader enough to be executed. The game could have a light side ending where the PC deserts to join the Rebellion openly, a light side ending where the PC becomes a high-ranking mole for the Rebellion, or a dark side ending where the PC snaps and becomes the very monster they once sought to destroy. Rahm Kota will appear in Fallen Order 2
Starkiller may be too powerful to induct into the new canon, but Rahm Kota would make for a perfect Canon Immigrant from Star Wars Legends should they introduce one, given the similarities in setting. The future games will feature the other Mantis members as protagonists.
- In order to keep Cal Kestis from either growing to Starkiller levels of stupid powerful and wrecking the Soulslike nature of the series or having to repeatedly suffer from Bag of Spilling, the protagonists of future games will be the other Force Sensitive members of Mantis that Cal has taught his Psychometry ability to, in order to justify going back to level 1 weakling. Such as Cere who is rusty and has been pushing away The Force for years, or Merrin who hasn't had any actual Jedi training and probably hasn't actually had to fight much with her Nightbrother servants on Dathomir, or some other characters to be introduced in future games.
