One of Lucasfilm’s real “Star Wars” stories of “Star Wars” is to get a unique new lease on life. Revealed as part of the Manga Mania panel during the celebration of Star Wars in Japan this year, a manga adaptation of the 2019 video game “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order” is on the way

Largely considered one of the best stories of all the Disney era mediums of the franchise, “Jedi: Fallen order” and its suite “Jedi: Survivor” takes place between the events of “Revenge of the Sith” And “a new hope”. While many people who read this have probably played the games centered on the former Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis, video games are not for everyone. As such, this manga adaptation is a very unique way to present history, potentially opening it to a new audience. A synopsis for the book can be read as follows:

“Cal Kestis, a former Jedi Padawan, has narrowly escaped the purge of order 66. Now, on the run of the Empire of the Inquisitorius Empire, Cal is associated with an old Jedi knight and a acieuria pilot in a quest to relaunch it?”

In addition to this book, the panel also revealed a new manga version of the novel “Star Wars: Thrawn” by Timothy Zahn, as well as a new manga version of “A New Hope”.

For the moment, few details concerning the book “Fallen order” have been revealed, but we have a cover that you can consult below. Some sketches were also shown during the panel, which we included so that you can take a look. Beyond that, it will be roughly a story in the history of the game, just presented in a very different format. However Not as flashy as the announcement of Ryan Gosling’s film “Star Wars: Starfighter”It still serves new welcome for several reasons.

First and foremost, the story told in these games “Star Wars Jedi” so far is not shy in a masterful, in my humble opinion. There have been many stories told in the time period between the prequel trilogy and the following trilogy, but it is undoubtedly one of the best. Speaking of prequelles, One of the best versions of these events occurred in a series of “Star Wars” manga. Consequently, making “the fallen order” in the form of a manga will probably not simply be a redundant story.

It is important to remember that the The Romanization of “Vengeance des Sith” is considered one of the best stories “Star Wars” Always, therefore adapting these stories for different supports can enrich history as a whole. This is already an excellent story, but now people who are not ready to play a long video game can exploit there. Even those who enjoyed the original game can open up to the manga world. It is difficult to see a drawback here.

“Star Wars” is and should be for everyone. As such, it has been pleasant to see Lucasfilm experiment with different mediums in recent years. Similar to the growing number of manga in the franchise, “Star Wars: visions” offered us an overview of the anime in a galaxy far, far away. Offering a story of these events in this particular support resembles the kind of thing that this franchise should do. It would be easy to see it as purely capitalist and as if Disney tries to move the blood of a stone. By taking the less cynical point of view, it is a question of ensuring that these stories can reach the widest possible public. It looks like work to do.
