The crew of the Stinger Mantis embarks on a mission to retrieve a Jedi artifact, imparted by a potentially untrustworthy source. Written by Canada’s own Sam Maggs (whose other writing credits include Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins, Call of Duty: Vanguard, and Marvel’s Spider-Man), the novel literally bridges the 5-year gap between games. Like Dark Temple, Jedi: Battle Scars is a brand new prequel that provides some enriching background for Survivor.

Fallen Order put a unique stamp on the usual Order 66 tales, along with Cal’s particular Force talents, and while you could jump into Jedi: Survivor without that background, it will surely be a richer journey if you experience the first leg for yourself. If you’ve never played Fallen Order before and perhaps picked it up as part of PS Plus’ monthly offerings or on a steep Steam Sale discount, there’s still time to embark on the journey and see Cal’s unique beginnings. Cere needs Cal to follow the trail of her former master, Eno Cordova-and that’s exactly what this miniseries does as well. So without further ado, “grab some seat” and check out these five stories to prepare for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order – Dark Temple #5, art by Paolo Villanelli Jedi Fallen Order – Dark TempleĪround the release of the original game, Marvel Comics produced a five-issue prequel miniseries focused on Cere Junda, the former Jedi who takes Cal Kestis under her wing.

With Jedi: Survivor set 9 years BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin, or rather, where Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope takes place), we’ve curated a list of other adventures that either tie directly into the game, its time period, or its themes-tales of the Jedi, the burgeoning Rebellion, and the fallout of Order 66. We’re eager to see how Respawn Entertainment builds upon one of the best single-player Star Wars games to date and thankfully, there are plenty of other tales to help us catch up on the story and prepare for the ride. One of the biggest games on our radar this spring is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, sequel to 2019’s inspired Jedi: Fallen Order and the first truly next-gen game set in Lucasfilm’s galaxy far, far away. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is less than a week away, and we’ve curated the quintessential experiences to prepare for Cal Kestis’ new journey.
