#jedi fallen order – @duncan-rohanne on Tumblr

i can't even look at fallen order without it reminding me how much i disliked jedi survivor. because like with everything else the potential it had was huge and it just failed me. it failed me personally. and i'm still upset about that because fallen order is in my top 5 of all time.

So, I have been saying this since I finished Fallen Order last year:

Leave. Cal. Out. Of. It.

Do you want to know why his story works so well? Because you, the player, literally take him on it. His journey is *our* journey. No live action show is going to capture that. Not. One.

His story is so amazing, and so special, and so well told, that I don't think any of the existing shows could do him justice. Not to mention, if you put him in anything set in the future, you immediately lose the narrative tension of the next game.

I cannot stress this enough: Fallen Order and Survivor are my two favourite Star Wars stories of all time. Yeah, you read that right. Sure, I grew up with the prequels and original trilogy, and I'm here because of them, but I don't think any other story comes close to doing justice to the characters. Nothing in the entire franchise touches the emotional journey these two stories have taken me on. Cal's story strikes a chord with me in a way few things do.

I do not want him anywhere near the other Star Wars characters and their journeys. He'd be overshadowed, and that's not fair because his story is so powerful as a standalone - something the Star Wars franchise desperately needs.

I will say it again and again: Fallen Order and Survivor make the Star Wars universe feel big again because Cal is so disconnected from all things Skywalker. You tie him into that, and he loses his agency and independence. Because that's the issue with a story that involves chosen ones - no one else can be as important. The second he gets involved in any of that, he'll lose something.

Cal matters. Leave him be.
