The identifiable name of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 would likely carry the sequel a little further, given the direct association with the first game, and so to change the subtitle is no doubt of the utmost importance. It remains to be seen, but what it brings to mind is the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Ever since AC: Black Flag, subtitles have indicated a change in setting and character, and given the colon placement in “Star Wars Jedi:,” it almost sounds like Respawn could be following a similar path.

This is, of course, only speculation on the name change. But if Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is moving on from Cal Kestis, the big question is who will replace him, and there are five good choices.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – Obi-Wan Kenobi

This sounds like a wish list entry, but it does make some sense. The key factors for Obi-Wan Kenobi potentially being the main character of a new Star Wars Jedi game boil downs into a few things: the proximity between the Disney Plus show release and the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor reveal, a subtle hint by Ewan McGregor at a potential Obi-Wan Kenobi and Star Wars game connection, the time frame of the Dark Times and the amount of time between the Disney Plus show and a New Hope, and the general subtitle of Survivor being a perfect match for Obi-Wan’s time as Luke’s hidden guardian.

Now, it might all sound good and well, and this would no doubt be a power play by EA as its Star Wars exclusivity contract comes to an end. But, admittedly, it’s not the most likely option.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – Cere

Cere was Cal Kestis’ teacher in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, but her story is not over. Having lost her apprentice to Vader, Cere struggles with the Dark Side and putting her into this role—although she has largely moved past this—could bring a new light side/dark side element to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. She is clearly that, a survivor, and the story could continue Cal Kestis’ journey from an angle. Her former padawan asked Cere and Cal to avenge her, and stepping into Cere’s shoes to do just that would be fitting.

Furthermore, one former Respawn dev revealed how strongly the team wanted the protagonist of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order to be “black and/or a woman.” To put Cere in the lead role could fulfill that original vision, while building the best elements of the first game.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – Merrin

Now, Merrin is no Jedi, but she is powerful in the Force. A game starring Merrin would be unique if it embraced her roots and expanded upon then, with Merrin setting out on her own journey to understand the Jedi. Merrin may be a member of the crew, but it would not be unlike her to want to find her own place in the galaxy. That place could lead her down the Jedi path, and her background definitely fits the whole Star Wars Jedi: Survivor subtitle.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – Ezra Bridger

Perhaps the least likely character here is Ezra Bridger, but he’s a character whose future has been in flux for some time now. He disappears, alongside Admiral Thrawn, at the end of Star Wars Rebels, and Ahsoka seemingly references searching for him as recently as her appearance in The Book of Boba Fett. This means that Ezra Bridger is missing for a number of years, and while Ahsoka will likely find him come her own Disney Plus show, knowing what he was up to (and surviving through) in the meantime would be interesting.

It would definitely be a different type of game, but melding the Star Wars multimedia universe together canonically would be a pretty smart move.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor – A New Face

Ultimately, the most likely scenario is someone far removed from Cal’s crew and other Star Wars media. Just as Assassin’s Creed introduces new characters with every subtitle, it would be interesting for Star Wars Jedi to do the same. The obvious downside to this would be if the franchise focused on the Dark Times, where there are supposed to be few Jedi and yet there seem to be more survivors year after year. Survivor definitely seems to suggest that the focus on the Dark Times will continue, but nothing is stopping it from being a survivor during another time as well.

A new face and perhaps a new time would do well for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, but until Star Wars Celebration, fans will have to keep guessing on what it’ll entail.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor reportedly releases in early 2023.
