Still, I was itching for a few lightsaber battles, so I sat down and got to WHOOSHing.
A Slightly Longer Time Ago…
Fallen Order does a lot of work to fit organically in the loose canon of the Star Wars universe.
While it’s not anything groundbreaking, Fallen Order’s story is surprisingly good.

The highlight of the game for me is the lightsaber combat.
Even Cal’s more powerful unlocked attacks are balanced with a limited pool of Force (basically stamina).
But even newcommers to this kind of combat won’t be too intimidated on lower difficulty tweaks.
And naturally, a few recognizable faces from the movies pop up.
But “planets” are basically just “levels.”
‘Jedi: Fallen Order’ isn’t without a few low spots, but its careful, engaging lightsaber combat is worth a look for any Star Wars fan.
A new paint job for the ship or a new poncho for Cal are hardly worth exploring these levels.
And surprisingly, it’s free of the microtransaction nightmare you might expect from an EA Star Wars game.
But Fallen Order has easily the best lightsaber combat of any Star Wars game, bar none.
That alone is worth a look-see if you’re a fan of the franchise.
And if you’re into gaming, you probably have something that plays it.
‘Jedi: Fallen Order’ isn’t without a few low spots, but its careful, engaging lightsaber combat is worth a look for any Star Wars fan.
