A-Z OF STAR WARS JEDI: FALLEN ORDER

STAR WARS FEVER IS HEATING UP WITH THE RELEASE OF EPISODE IX IN CINEMAS AS WELL AS THE MOST PROMISING STAR WARS ADVENTURE GAME IN YEARS, JEDI: FALLEN ORDER. HERE’S EVERYTHING WE KNOW

- CHRIS BURKE

AT-AT

All Terrain Armored Transport - the giant four-legged Walkers from Empire Strikes Back. Standing over 20 metres tall with blast-impervious armour plating, just imagine being a ground troop with one of these about to step on you. Along with their two-legged AT-ST counterparts, they feature in Fallen Order in a big way. In one particularly spectacular set-piece (nothing says ‘spectacular’ like the presence of a Walker), BD-1 hacks an AT-AT and Cal is able to take control. This whole sequence puts us in mind of Titanfall and suggests the game will in one way or another make great use of the Star Wars universe’s incredible and imaginative array of ground, air and space vehicles.

BD-1

Every good Star Wars story needs an adorable droid, right? From its letter and number designation, Jedi: Fallen Order’s small, bird-like droid would appear to be related to BB-8 from Episodes VII-IX, although this little fella doesn’t roll around awkwardly and likely have a problem with stairs. In fact, its bipedal nature means it kind of hops around and is small enough to grab onto Cal’s back as he wall runs and fights his way through the hordes of Imperial enemies. It also has useful stimpaks to heal Cal, should that punishing combat take chunks out of our Padawan protagonist. BD-1 can even ‘whoop’ its approval in a beepy kinda way.
