Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order director has given an odd motive for why the game’s protagonist is male.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order stars new character Cal Kestis, nevertheless it may have starred another person. Game director Stig Asmussen mentioned the staff thought of having an alien protagonist, however sadly determined towards the thought in order to permit the viewers to make a reference to the character – a human connection.
An alien lead is one thing Asmussen personally needed to see, nevertheless it finally didn’t occur. The veteran director additionally revealed on the Game Informer show that the staff talked a few completely different gender for the hero.
“We arrived at where we were because at the time [new film trilogy protagonist] Rey was kind of the thing for Star Wars, so it made a lot more sense for us to have a male protagonist,” Asmussen defined.
I’m not fairly clear on how having a feminine protagonist would by some means steal a few of Rey’s thunder. If something, it might have higher emphasised Disney’s intentions for a stronger range in Star Wars.
