The Bad:-

Of course, being inspired by our favourite video game franchises also makes Jedi Fallen Order a not so exciting experience for many. You see, as much as we have seen and heard about the game so far doesn't seem anything new or surprising.

Respawn seems to be taking a very safe route with their upcoming Star Wars game. This may be because of the unfavourable history of the games of this franchise in the past few years, or also because EA and Disney are holding the hands of the devs back at Respawn Entertainment.

In a recent interview with Gameinformer, one of the devs at Respawn also stated that they want Jedi Fallen Order to be an "authentic" take on the Star Wars universe. This means that the game will not disrupt or add anything new to the Star Wars franchise as in whole.

Even Cal Kestis- the game's main protagonist whose name hasn't been mentioned in any of the past Star Wars movies or shows, is an actual person in the universe who exists in the same time as let's say Luke Skywalker.

This very well indicates that Cal's role in the Star Wars timeline is very limited as he's not the part of any of the major battles in the universe, this also means that Cal may meet with an untimely demise by the end of this game.

This authenticity also robs Jedi Fallen Order of being a creative take on the Star Wars universe. For example- show us a completely different side of the universe or introduce new never before seen characters in the universe.

This also aligns with why Jedi Fallen Order combat seems to borrow so much from the highly popular gaming franchises instead of doing something really innovative and crazy.

Making combat similar to that of Souls game is an interesting concept in paper, but if the game doesn't imply the same punishing level of depth then will it still be interesting?

Jedi Fallen Order could still surprise many of us with its various unique features and take us on a prominent journey throughout the Star Wars Universe. One we may rememeber for a long time to come.

Whatsover be the case, we will find it very soon as Star Wars:Jedi Fallen Order launches on 15 November 2019, on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
