If Respawn were to make another trilogy of Star Wars games after Jedi 3 in a similar style, what would you like them to be about.
I know it’s way too soon to be thinking of what’s next for Respawn after Jedi 3, but we’re still waiting for that game and it’s fun to speculate. Besides, I don’t think they’re done with Star Wars after Jedi 3 anyway. It’s not even out yet, and they’re already doing another Star Wars game with Zero Company.
Anyway, what I’m thinking about is a spiritual successor to the Jedi games. If you got to choose what a new Jedi-like series we’d get from them, what would you want it to be about?
Personally, I’d do a trilogy that’s sort of a reimagining of the old Jedi Knight games. Those were well before my time, so I think it’d be cool if they took elements of those games and reintroduced them into modern canon. In the first game, you’d play as Kyle Katarn (played by Liam McIntyre) as a rookie intelligence officer for the Rebellion. Flashbacks throughout would show his time with the Empire. Early on while on a mission, he finds an old lightsaber that he steals from an Imperial base. After he’s forced to flee, he begins having visions of an old Jedi master named Qu Rahn (Christopher Judge). Because of his connection to the saber, the ghost of Rahn starts warning him of a program called “Project: Dark Trooper.” It’s being headed by a hotheaded Imperial commander (Eric Winters) and his more calculating lieutenant Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito). The idea is that Kyle is way more of a scrub compared to Cal, and will use more in the way of blasters and other gizmos in addition to his saber combat.
That’s just me though. If you were in charge of making a spiritual successor to the Jedi games, what would you have it be about?
