As a survivor of the Nice Jedi Purge that resulted from Order 66, Cal had been in hiding for roughly 5 years earlier than gamers have been launched to him on the starship scrapping planet Bracca.

Jedi: Survivor‘s place on the Star Wars timeline will make it roughly concurrent with Obi-Wan Kenobi, the brand new sequence in regards to the titular Jedi Grasp’s exploits between Revenge and A New Hope. Particulars on the plot of Survivor are nonetheless very scarce. The lone teaser trailer illuminates little or no in regards to the story gamers can anticipate, but it surely does overtly affirm that Cal – and sure the remainder of the Stinger Mantis crew – are nonetheless actively on the run from the Imperial Inquisition.
Fallen Order by no means specifies precisely how previous its protagonist is, however in an interview with Esquire in 2019, Cameron Monaghan – who portrayed Cal – says, “[Cal] being educated was a part of the established order for the primary 13 years of his life,” earlier than the Galactic Republic toppled throughout Order 66. If Cal is 13 in Fallen Order‘s Clone Wars flashbacks, that will make him roughly 18 through the occasions of the sport.

Cal Has Turn into Infamous In The Empire Since Fallen Order
The occasions of Fallen Order have been virtually assured to escalate Cal on the Inquisitorius’ checklist of precedence Jedi to search out. Breaching Fortress Inquisitorius and squaring off in opposition to Darth Vader himself little question precipitated a ripple via the Empire’s ranks, and the Stinger Mantis’ escape seemingly angered Vader. Within the 5 years that precede Survivor, Cal has even gained the eye of the Imperial aristocracy. In keeping with the official Star Wars webpage on Jedi: Survivor, the Pau’an character seen behind a desk on Coruscant within the teaser trailer is an Imperial senator.

Cal could have escaped Vader as soon as, however he seems to be even additional embroiled within the galactic battle throughout Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the place 5 extra years beneath Cere’s tutelage have hopefully left a 23-year-old Cal with a stronger command of the Pressure.
