‘Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’: Everything we learned at E3 2019

On Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles, EA hosted an event called “EA Play” that offered attendees a special half-hour-long closed-door presentation of “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order” — the next major “Star Wars” game set to arrive this November.

It was an extended look at the first major gameplay reveal for the game, and it was outright thrilling.

In short, the game looks and plays like a “Star Wars” game set in the trappings of “Uncharted” — a third-person action game with a mix of combat, platforming, and puzzle solving that serve to tell a new story in the “Star Wars” universe.

I watched as the main character, Cal Kestis, snuck up on stormtroopers, solved basic puzzles, and climbed various structures — with the occasional break for a conversation or two with allies.
