    See the thing is it wasn't EA that made this but another group altogether. Neither Disney or EA could ever tell a story this tight. They are way to set in their dogma.

      Respawn Entertainment did a fantastic job at paying attention to detail. I'm just surprised they were able to have so much agency over an IP like Star Wars.

      Honestly Respawn likely couldn’t either. They brought in a lot of outside help since they never made an action game before, only 1st person shooters. For instance they brought in Stig Asmussen to be the Game Director for Fallen Order. Stig worked as a creative director for God of War 1 and 2 before becoming the Game Director of GOW 3. He’s one of the best guys you can get if you’re going to make an action game as he was an interracial part of creating arguably the greatest action franchise in gaming history.

    They allowed you to use the Staff Saber. Nuff said. I dig it.
    And now the next game allows you use 5 different Saber Styles.

    They should make a Star Wars game like Morrowind. The great things about Morrowind is you get to decide if you want to be the hero, or just go off and do something else.
