    Just barely mentioned during EA Play. No real details other than what can be inferred by the title.

    Let the bashing of EA begin!

    Ugh...the time period is saturated enough. Between Rebels, R1, Solo and now this?

    There's a story to be told about Jedi on the run, but yeah, there's other stuff I want to see.

    Yeah, it's crammed. Don't forget the comics and novels...

    The premise is quite predictable. We're going to be a hunted Jedi survivor. There's probably going to be big duel with Vader/Inquisitors at some point. Could be cool, but we have to wait for details. There better be an excellent lightsaber combat system in this one (as opposed to TFU where the lightsaber felt like a baton).

    I got really excited for a second when the guy was talking, because I thought he was going to say "Jedi... Knight." :p

    Shame no footage shown at all. Could be a good premise but will probably be quite a predictable story & whatever Jedi you are obviously wont survive as they aren’t in any other story’s going forward as we already know the outcome.

    Could be cool if you play as young Kanan as there is still quite a bit of story to fill in.

    I'm hopefull. Just a few thoughts:

    Seemed to me like they were not trying to hype at all. They're just getting the name out there so that we can do our own hyping. Hence the (possibly less than) bare bones announcement.

    Timing of release is definitely looking to cash in on Episode IX hype.

    The only thing they told us that couldn't be inferred from the title was that release date. I'd say that us being jedi survivors is a safe bet. Themes could include a galaxy that no longer trusts the jedi, those who help you dying for it, the flaws of the Jedi Order, etc. etc.

    Lightsaber gameplay is a given, and I'd be interested to see how it factors in. There could be some interesting combat systems.

    To address the elephant in the room, I'm not really sure how EA is going to influence this. I mean if it is about being a jedi survivor, how does that correlate into multiplayer? Co-Op running? Is fast paced lightsaber combat compatible with multiplayer gameplay? Something like "For Honor"? I can see appearances being monetized, but I don't see any incentive for buying weapons when the iconic weapon will probably be my own lightsaber.

    I have hopes for this game, but I also want to prepare myself for the worst.

    The annoying thing is that it's going to be a long time until we hear about this game again. My bet is that we're not getting anything until an official reveal at Celebration 2019 (same as BFII) and then a bit more at the following E3.

    By the way, remember that "A Look Ahead" video? There was a tiny bit of BTS footage of this game. Perhaps what we see here is the padawan protagonist fighting an Inquisitor or something like that.

    Very slow hopes with this, after the Battlefront disaster, EA for me, is dead.

    This game could have potential. It makes me think of one of the original concepts for implementation of Jedi in Star Wars Galaxies.

    Originally, the idea was that if a player managed to be a Jedi, it would be like a powerup until death, at which point that powerup was lost. So, they would be extremely powerful, but if they used their powers openly (like brandishing a lightsaber or outward displays of the Force) their notoriety would go up, and player characters and NPCs alike would be more incentivized to hunt them. Eventually, even Vader himself would get in on the chase.


    This has a lot of potential. If there's a sort of notoriety system, we could have a game where players are incentivized to hide their powers as a jedi and instead just use a trusty blaster, but also may be forced into using them to survive... which further increases the danger they're in.

    I hope it's something like that, and not just a mindless hack n slash with a lightsaber.

    I don't understand this. How can an entire period of time in a large galaxy be over-saturated already? What do we have about Jedi on the run, and why wouldn't that be interesting?

    Its not the story, it's the time period that its in. It would just be nice to see a new era, by now.

    I just don't quite understand how an entire time period can be over-saturated.

    If the game was yet another story set on Lothal, or Mandalore, I'd see the point. But a time period? There's so much freedom to do anything.

    The one thing that I hope influences the direction of this game is how successful God of War has been. That game had a very strong story and I really enjoyed the gameplay and how open the map felt. I think this game would do very well if it follows a similar formula, focusing on very story driven open world (probably worlds since this is Star Wars) campaign with side quests spread throughout that tie in other characters from the franchise. This would allow the game to focus on new characters while still giving nods to characters like Ahsoka, Kanan, etc.. This would also finally give the fan base a story driven single player game and they could work in some type of multiplayer element with an arena or something that doesn't impact the main game. I know EA is always about how can more money be made from this game which is why I'm hoping the success of a single player game like God of War and the backlash over Battlefront 2 helps make the case for a single player game.

    The game will apparently be about a Padwan surviving order 66 with his training left unfinished

    That makes sense. I'm curious to see if we see a young Kanan Jarrus or Ashoka in the game. Also will be interesting to see how the new season of The Clone Wars may be tied to this game given there is some speculation that this season will go right up to Order 66.

    Very intrigued about this game. I hope it will be open world RPG sort of thing where you can complete quests. I also hope we will be able to see characters such as ashoka,the inquisitor and maybe even Vader himself (maybe that can be the boss battle at the end). I would also like to see him explore the galaxy for himself at the beginning and then eventually join the rebel alliance.
