Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order almost didn't feature a Jedi protagonist, as Lucasfilm wasn't sure about the idea at first.
As revealed by Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order director Stig Asmussen (via The Guardian), Lucasfilm wasn't completely sold on the idea of Respawn developing a Jedi-centered video game at first. "We wanted to do third-person action adventure, and we wanted to have a Jedi with lightsabers," Asmussen reveals, "and then [Lucasfilm was] like – wait."
