Possible Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order details and speculations leaked on Reddit

Possible Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order details and speculations leaked on Reddit 3

A leak on Reddit claims that the upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will be scheduled for November 2019. The post has been credited by various people working for the company, but then again, they could all be fake.

The Reddit post dumped a bunch of information regarding many Star Wars projects. As suspected, the Reddit community was skeptical as ever because of all the other rumors about this game that are circulating the web. Later, a reliable source in the Star Wars community wrote a post mentioning details about Star Wars: Episode IX. This was written by MakingStarWars- a reliable source in the community. Even though it may still be wrong, there is a good level of trust.

They reported that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will be released in November of next year. And they said that the game takes place 5 years after Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and is based on the main character, Cal. Cal is a padawan who survived Order 66 and has a mentor figure “who is a woman named Ceres.”

MakingStarWars claims to get their details from a Star Wars Marketing Presentation by Disney.

With these two pieces of proof, we can slightly agree that the game will be scheduled for release within the announced date and we get to see some of the game’s plot. Then again, nothing is confirmed.

Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars action-adventure project doesn’t have much information on the web since the game’s original announcement back in 2016. There have been plenty of rumors and speculation, but nothing that can debacle the upcoming action-adventure.

The only real, solid, info that fans have garnered is basically the title, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and a release window of “Holiday 2019” during EA Play this year. There will be more news released in April 2019 during the Star Wars Celebration event. With all this time and so little information, plenty of speculations have surfaced regarding the game.

The Clone Wars gets a 12 episode commission on Disney’s streaming platform

The Clone Wars gets a 12 episode commission on Disney's streaming platform 4

At this year’s Comic-Con, a panel celebrating the 10-year anniversary of The Clone Wars had a special announcement at the end of it- a surprise season of 12 episodes has been confirmed and commissioned to run on Disney’s streaming service which launches in 2019.

Back in 2003, there was the first animated series of the Clone Wars with Genndy Tartakovsky’s 2D take that ran until 2005 with a few Emmy awards in the process. The Clone Wars then came out in 2008, this time another fully-animated but 3D series of episodes developed by Dave Filoni which ran for 5 seasons on The Cartoon Network and got a final 6 episodes on Netflix in 2014.

Now that Disney is competing directly with Netflix and developing its own streaming platform, we’ll be getting another full season of 12 episodes. With Disney’s demonstration on Netflix, there’s definitely fan demand for their shows with its Marvel series.

Whether or not the 12 episodes will be reruns is unsure. Now that Disney has the own platform, they may create some original content. Besides The Clone Wars, there will be some live-action Star Wars directed by Jon Favreau that takes place somewhere between Return of the Jedi and before The Force Awakens.

It’s a good time to be a Star Wars fan.

New “open-world” Star Wars game in the works based on a job posting

New Star Wars game in the works. Perhaps an MMORPG?

EA is working a new open-world Star Wars game based on a job listing posting for their studio in Vancouver.

The job position first appeared on March 20th, 2018 and is looking for a “Lead Online Engineer” that fulfills the task of leading a “team to delivery Online features for a Star Wars Open World project. To keep this discreet, no other details about the game were given. EA probably already knows that the only people looking at their job boards are probably fans of their games. It’s likely that someone will see this post and then post it elsewhere which will leak that a new Star Wars franchise underway. However, they’re mum about the details of the game.

EA also has not commented on the news as well.

Based on their previous titles, it’s only lukewarm in terms of what to expect. If they learned anything over the Battlefront II conversely about loot crates and microtransactions, they should not make the same mistake this time around. After they pulled the microtransactions and introduced their new level progression system, the fans released some of the bitter feelings toward their greed. The new progression system only allows players to win by experience and not wallet size.

This could be anything from an AAA MMORPG to just a mobile game. Who knows?

Regardless, this is an interesting move to put out another Star Wars title so soon. We’ll keep you updated.
