Daniel Richtman aka DanielRPK on X posted a few more Star Wars tidbits… I’ll make it quick: according to him Lucasfilm is developing a Star Wars series based on the Fallen Order video game franchise with main character Cal Kestis. The third and final game is currently in development and could be released in 2026/27. With Ahsoka possibly seeing a 2026 release it would mean the Cal Kestis series could be ready for a 2027 release. As far as projects go this is probably the safest bet after the disastrous The Acolyte. Both “Jedi” games sold more than 40 million copies combined and Cal Kestis is a very popular character with a roster of equally popular companions. And Lucasfilm could give fans yet another show set during the OT/Rebels/Andor timeline.
DanielRPK also reports that The Mandalorian will end with the 2026 movie (to which I say, if this movie made 1 billion at the box office there would certainly be a sequel), the show will also not return to Disney+. But the character will appear in other projects (certainly the Filoni movie with Ahsoka).
And that’s it for today. Would you like to see a Cal Kestis series? He’s a Jedi, he fights the Empire, his girlfriend (as of Survivor) is one of the best liked female characters, Nightsister Merrin (before Ahsoka retconned it all she was the last surviving Nightsister), all the actors in the game could and would certainly appear in the series as well, it would be more OT era nostalgia, they could use Darth Vader (he appears in the games) and various other OT era characters. So on paper it really sounds like the safest bet. And Lucasilm absolutely needs something that can replicate the overnight success that was The Mandalorian on Disney+. Neither Andor nor Ahsoka (not even mentioning the 2024 shows) are able to fill that role.
