Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is set within a specific timeline in the vast Star Wars universe. Let’s explore when the game takes place and its significance in relation to the films and TV series.
When is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Set?
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is set in the year 9 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). This places the game before the events of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, which serves as the starting point of the original George Lucas film and the overarching Star Wars saga.
This timeline aligns with the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show, which also takes place during the same year. While it’s uncertain if the game will feature a direct encounter with Old Ben Kenobi, the parallel timeline provides valuable insight into the broader universe and the state of affairs during this period.
9 BBY marks a significant point between the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy, with the Empire having consolidated its control over the galaxy after the Jedi Order’s defeat in Episode III. The surviving Jedi are in hiding, and Darth Vader and the Inquisitors relentlessly pursue any remnants of the Jedi Order.
How much time passes between Fallen Order and Survivor?
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes place five years after the events of its predecessor, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The game leaves much of what transpired during this time gap shrouded in mystery, allowing players to uncover the events and developments as they progress through the game.
While the details are scarce, it is evident that the galaxy is in a dire state, with the Empire’s oppressive rule affecting Cal Kestis and the rest of the galaxy. However, a glimmer of hope exists, driving Cal and his companions to resist the Empire and fight for a better future.
As players embark on their journey in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, they will navigate the turbulent times of the galaxy, witnessing the ongoing struggle against the Empire and making their mark in this crucial era of the Star Wars timeline. May the Force guide them in their quest for justice and freedom.
