This entry examines why a broken lightsaber\u2019s introduction at Galaxy\u2019s Edge means something mighty for Fallen Order fans.&lt;\/em&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<hr\/>\n<p>With <em>The Mandalorian<\/em> and <em>The Book of Boba Fett<\/em>, Disney+ has directed serious respect toward the\u00a0<strong><em>Star Wars<\/em><\/strong> expanded universe fanbase. Characters like Ahsoka Tano, Black Krrsantan, and Cad Bane were previously relegated to cartoons and comics. Now, they walk proudly in live-action (well, two of them still do; please pour one out for the cowboy), and their enthusiasts can be heard chanting, \u201cSee, I told you so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Star Wars<\/em>\u2018 best-kept secrets won\u2019t remain so for much longer, and their 3D arrival offers tremendous hope to other characters still stuck along the fringes. On the video <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> front, <strong><em>Star Wars Jedi<\/em><\/strong>: <strong><em>Fallen Order<\/em><\/strong>, developed by Respawn Entertainment for Electronic Arts, absorbed an absurd amount of attention when it initially hit the market in November 2019. Since release, momentum has built throughout the fandom, and there\u2019s an intense desire to see its protagonist, Cal Kestis, join \u201cthe real world\u201d alongside Ahsoka.<\/p>\n<p>This week, such possibility grew even more reasonable when <strong>Galaxy<\/strong>\u2018<strong>s Edge<\/strong> unveiled its latest lightsaber available for purchase at <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/shops\/hollywood-studios\/dok-ondars-den-of-antiquities\/\">Dok-Ondar\u2019s Den of Antiquities<\/a> in Walt Disney World and Disneyland. In\u00a0costume as <strong>Cal Kestis<\/strong>, voice actor <strong>Cameron Monaghan<\/strong> stepped before cameras and lifted the character\u2019s\u00a0<em>Fallen Order<\/em>\u00a0legacy lightsaber. Are we months or years from seeing it slashed across streaming screens? The answer seems sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>The Disney theme parks did not come to this decision on their own. They asked the fans to vote online, picking Cal\u2019s blade amongst laser swords once wielded by Anakin Skywalker, Qui-Gon Jinn, Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, and Lord Corvax. Cal nabbed 40 percent of the vote, 29 percent more than second-place loser Qui-Gon Jinn. Liam Neeson can\u2019t compete with Cameron Monaghan\u2019s on-the-run Jedi.<\/p>\n<p><em>Star Wars Jedi:<\/em> <em>Fallen Order<\/em> is set a few years after <em>Revenge of the Sith<\/em>. Order 66 saw most Force wielders executed. What few remained kept a low profile in deserts, swamps, and worse. Cal Kestis is an escaped Padawan living as a scrapper on Bracca. An Imperial probe droid spies him using his Force abilities, and two Sith Inquisitors are sent to round him up. Similar to Luke Skywalker\u2019s flight from Tatooine after his Stormtrooper scuffle, Cal is propelled on a galaxy skipping quest where he crosses swords with numerous baddies, including the darkest lord of the Sith, Darth Vader.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s nifty about Cal\u2019s particular lightsaber from <em>Fallen Order\u00a0<\/em>is how it embraces the past as much as it does the present and the future.\u00a0Cal\u2019s lightsaber once belonged to his Master Jaro Tapal. Originally constructed as a dual blade somewhat like Darth Maul\u2019s, the sword was broken during the Great Purge. As sold at Galaxy\u2019s Edge, the weapon is bungled, bandaged, and rejiggered. The modified lightsaber Cal wields exudes strength and durability.<\/p>\n<p>As busted and as janky as it appears, Cal\u2019s blade has seen some serious stuff.\u00a0The imperfections suggest a rich character to the sword. It\u2019s been through the wringer, and each crack in its hilt reveals immense history. It\u2019s not the Darksaber, but it\u2019s on its way.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of the Darksaber,\u00a0<em>Star Wars<\/em> needs more legendary lightsabers with backstories.\u00a0Everyone knows Geroge Lucas\u2019 infatuation with Akira Kurosawa. <em>A New Hope<\/em> borrows more than character archetypes from\u00a0<em>The Hidden Fortress<\/em>. Its whole vibe extends from the samurai classic. And what\u2019s rad about so many samurai stories are the histories and the names that come with their bone-cutting instruments.<\/p>\n<p>If we\u2019re going to fetishize these weapons, we should show them kindness and respect by giving them a title.\u00a0Miyamoto Usagi briefly claimed \u201cThe Grasscutter.\u201d <em>Shaman King<\/em>\u2018s Yoh Asakura grips tightly onto \u201cHarusame.\u201d\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy<\/em> features the iconic \u201cMasamune.\u201d And yeah, Din Djarin struggles under the Darksaber\u2019s weight.<\/p>\n<p>The<em> Mandalorian<\/em> blade is another expanded universe gem given new life in live-action. It first appeared in <em>The Clone Wars<\/em>\u2018 second season, in the episode \u201cThe Mandalore Plot.\u201d We learned that it was constructed by the first Mandalorian Jedi, Tarre Vizsla, an ancestor of Pre Vizsla, who used the sword\u2019s status to steal his homeworld\u2019s throne. Through numerous battles, the Darksaber was wrestled away from the Vizsla family, briefly owned by Maul, and eventually rescued by <em>Star Wars<\/em>: <em>Rebels<\/em>\u2018 Sabine Wren. She gave it to Bo-Katan Kryze, who reclaimed Mandalore for her people.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t know how she lost the Darksaber; we just know that as Jaro Tapal\u2019s dual-blade was damaged during the Great Purge, the Darksaber fell into Moff Gideon\u2019s hands. The Imperial scum is the one who ultimately brought it onto Disney+ when he sawed himself out of his crashed Tie Fighter during <em>The Mandalorian<\/em>\u2018s Season 1 climax. He then lost it when he squared off with Din Djarin during the second season\u2019s finale.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>The Book of Boba Fett<\/em>, we witnessed Djarin clumsily swing the Darksaber. It\u2019s a powerful instrument, tearing through goons like butter, but its true might rests in the prestigious weight the Mandalorian people give it. Undoubtedly, the lightsaber will feature prominently in the plot of\u00a0<em>The Mandalorian<\/em>\u00a0Season 3.<\/p>\n<p>Din Djarin resists its significance, but Bo-Katan and others most definitely do not. They will come for it, and Djarin will have to make a choice. Keep it and ascend to a political seat, or toss it away and watch another sit atop Mandalore.<\/p>\n<p>So far, every Disney+ <em>Star Wars<\/em> series has used its space to re-introduce an expanded universe character or two. Whom can we expect to arrive in <em>The Mandalorian<\/em>\u2018s third season? Cal Kestis is not a bad choice.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s a Jedi who\u2019s also grappled with his place in the universe. He\u2019s morally gray, forced to do dirty deeds to survive. He\u2019s more Han Solo than Luke Skywalker. That is probably a big reason why we love him so much. He\u2019s got the savage Force skills but not the farm boy na\u00efvet\u00e9 of Luke nor the whiny sinister streak his pops carried with him when he was young.<\/p>\n<p>And Cal Kestis has a blade to match Din Djarin\u2019s sword. But not a name. We got to get that busted scrap metal a moniker.<\/p>\n<p>With kids and adult-kids flocking to Disney parks to score Cal\u2019s lightsaber from <em>Fallen Order<\/em>, a hunger for a live-action appearance will only increase. Disney+ loves satiating fandom\u2019s desire. Our squeals tend to cut through the social media noise and grab the attention of others. We sell as much as we buy. And we buy a lot.<\/p>\n<pre><code>    Related Topics: Star Wars, Star Wars Explained\n    &lt;!-- AUTHOR BOX --&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"gray-bg p-4 border small mb-5\">\n<div class=\"row align-items-center text-md-center\">\n<div class=\"col-md-2\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/brad.jpg\" class=\"circle img-fluid\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md\">\n            Brad Gullickson is a Weekly Columnist for Film School Rejects and Senior Curator for One Perfect Shot.
