In 2019, fans of Star Wars discovered Cal Kestis, a young padawan who had to survive during the great purge (Order 66) led by Lord Palpatine. Cal was the main protagonist of a new video game series published by Electronic Arts and developed by Respawn: Star Wars Jedi. We learn today that in addition to a third gamea LIVE Action series on Cal Kestis would also be in preparation.
Cal Kestis on all fronts
A few days ago, Electronic Arts confirmed the development of the third Star Wars Jedi opus (after the success of Fallen Order in 2019 and Survivor in 2023). Good news for fans who were going to find Cal Kestis for a third game that should conclude the saga in style.
But apparently, this won’t be the last time Cal is in the spotlight. According to insider Daniel RPK, who is usually well-informed in the field of series and other video game projects, Disney is preparing a LIVE-Action series for its Disney+ platform that would focus on the young Jedi. For the moment, very little information. According to the first rumors, it would be Cameron Monaghan who would reprise his role, as in the games.
Alas, we’ll have to settle for that for now. After the success of the first two Star Wars Jedi games, it wouldn’t be surprising if Disney opted for a series adaptation. In addition, video game adaptations are all the rage right now and can significantly revive the hype around certain titles, especially when the adaptations are well done (like Fallout or The Last Of Us).
A Star Wars series centered on Cal Kestis, which would be released at the same time as the third Star Wars Jedi installment (which won’t be expected before 2027 at best), could be a very good strategy. The game would promote the series, while the latter would allow players to hyper play as Cal Kestis themselves in his three adventures on PC and consoles.
