The announcement ofStar Wars Jedi: Survivorhas been a great source of hype within the gaming industry.Star Warsgames are already some of the most-anticipated releases out there, but the success of this upcoming title’s predecessorStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderhas only increased the buzz.
Despite fan attention already reaching a fever pitch, not much is currently known aboutStar Wars Jedi: Survivor. While more basic aspects of the game are likely to be similar toFallen Order, there are several burning questions that remain unanswered as of this writing.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - Who Is In the Tank?
Many of the questions that fans are asking come from the shortreveal trailer forStar Wars Jedi: Survivorthat dropped in May. A massive part of this trailer focused on a mysterious person floating in a bacta tank, which is a form of cylindrical healing device commonly used within theStar Warsuniverse for serious injuries.
The trailer placed huge importance on the man in the tank, withseries protagonist Cal Kestisseemingly seeking them out for help in his ongoing battle against the ruthless Galactic Empire. Many have theorized that the man could be Jedi Master Quinlan Vos, due to their similar appearance and Quinlan’s force-sensitive abilities. Quinlan Vos was recently confirmed to have survived Order 66 in Disney’s Obi-Wan Kenobi miniseries, giving further credence to this potential identity.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - Where Is the Rest of Cal’s Crew?
A massive unanswered aspect of theSurvivortrailer concerned the whereabouts of the remaining cast of characters who appeared inJedi: Fallen Order.While Cal and his trusty droid companion BD-8 were shown, theabsence of Cere Junda and Greez Drituswas notable to many given the large roles they played in the original title.
Greez’s ship “The Stinger Mantis” is shown in the trailer, though it is abandoned and perhaps broken beyond repair. Despite how important the original crew is to the overall story of the series, it appears that their whereabouts will be left up to speculation untilStar Wars: Jedi Survivorreleases - or at least a new trailer comes out.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - Who Are the Antagonists?
A massive element ofJedi: Survivorwill be its primary antagonists. The Inquisitors, a group of force-sensitive Dark Side agents who serve the Sith and the Empire by hunting down Jedi, were themain antagonistic force ofFallen Order, and that will likely continue into the upcomingSurvivor.
In the trailer, a hooded figure wielding a red lightsaber can be seen engaging in a duel with Cal, though their identity is currently a debated mystery. Beyond this seemingly combat-focused antagonist, another is present who appears to take a more shadowy, political role. Due to them both being from the Pau’an species, many thought this political antagonist was the sinisterGrand Inquisitor fromStar Wars Rebels,although this has since been debunked.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - How Has Cal Changed?
An element ofSurvivorthat cannot be thoroughly conveyed in the reveal trailer, but is relevant nonetheless, is how Cal has changed sincethe events ofFallen Order. It is known thatSurvivoris set five years afterFallen Order, meaning returning players will likely be greeted by a Cal who is significantly different from his original portrayal.
It can be said thatprotagonists within allStar Warsmediaare typified by their development. After spending five years improving his connection with the force while actively avoiding the Empire as a high-value fugitive, Cal is likely to be more compassionate yet stand-offish, in typically Jedi fashion. Of course, there are a plethora of directions that Respawn Entertainment could take with Cal’s character, and fans will have to wait to see just what direction the studio goes with.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - What Planets Will Be Explored?
Arguably the most important feature of aStar Warsgame is the depth of interplanetary exploration available to players. WhileJedi: Fallen Orderhad eight planets that could be explored by players, it is likely the upcomingSurvivorwill have even more planets that were not featured prior.
Lore-rich planets such as Dathomir andIlum were featured inFallen Order, and it only makes sense that this trend continues forSurvivor. Despite the planet becoming a growing joke within theStar Warscommunity for how often it appears, Tatooine is one example of a story-important planet that could feature inSurvivor.
Many fans have also been vocal in their desire formore populated planets to feature inStar Wars: Jedi Survivor, with the densely populated city-planet Coruscant being a location that could satiate the community desire for more dynamic and sprawling areas to explore. While all of these questions are being discussed by fans, it hopefully will not be long before some official answers are provided.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivoris in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
