"You can't have some fact in a video game that doesn't match up with the movie". We know the Inquisitors are in the show and we know the temple from JFA also pops up and we've already seen a BD-1 droid pop up in Boba Fett.

Ewan McGregor adds some fuel to the speculation that there's some sort of crossover between Jedi Fallen Order and Obi-Wan Kenobi

We know Cal Kestis is around at this time and we saw the purge troopers in this trailer. It makes so much sense and I would lose my shit if he showed up.
I find it literally impossible that Disney would resist the urge to put Cal in the show at some point.
If there's one thing I've learned watching their Star Wars shows, it's that if there is fan-service to be had, they will absolutely 100% do it.

I would be happy if Cal showed up
But even more I want Darth Vader showing up like he did in Fallen Order, he was terrifying in that

I mean one the inquisitors in the show recreates an exact animation from the game so yea they definitely looked at the game for references and research since it's at least finally closer to live action than Rebels. Whether that extends to outright referencing characters from the game and such remains to be seen though.
Yeah, Star Wars properties crossing over is too outlandish to believe
Yeah, it's just this. The fortress from the show is the same one from the game. I'd be shocked if we saw any characters cross over.
It would be pretty sick but could also tie the hands of the Jedi Fallen Order 2 writers knowing where he has to end up.
Well it's Star Wars, so of course any well known character Obi Wan hasn't met yet has a realistic chance of appearing here now because it's the smallest Galaxy in the world where everyone knows each other
The fact that he specifically mentions videogame when there's only a single one that takes place in the actual continuity currently makes this statement interesting.
It's not that you brief your actors on these kind of details, unless there's something bigger happening that actor has to work with.

I'm talking specifically about this words — not about the appearance of Cal itself.
Yeah, Disney also added Cal's lightsaber to their legacy series at Galaxy's Edge and had Cameron Monaghan show up for the unveiling.
Too much current promotion happening for him not to show up somewhere.

There's also Battlefront 2 and Squadrons. I think the special levels in LEGO The Force Awakens are also silly versions of canonical events.
But he's just talking about all the different media types that are part of the whole canon now. I doubt he knows what games are canon and which aren't.

Not anytime soon so too early for the marketing cycle to start.
I doubt Cal will show up, I think its more talk about how everything is canon and they have to bring things up that happen cross media in a way.
Yeah you're right, was just about to make the BF2 edit. And that's what I meant, he's not going to be in the know about these details. And for locations he's probably not going to care since it's mostly just another green/blue screen he's performing in front with some set elements. It's just interesting that he specifically mentions the videogames part again. But who knows, might be that he was interested where those purge troopers came from while filming.
Yeah... I never understood the hate. I don't love him as a character, but I don't see any reason to hate it either...
If you haven't already, watch a movie called Jamie Marks is Dead (on Shudder). Good movie and he's outstanding in it.
I think he's just referring to the Fortress Inquisitorius appearing in Kenobi, which was first introduced in Fallen Order, as well as the Purge Troopers (although they have a slight redesign which is rumoured to appear in Jedi II). There's also the aspect of which Inquisitors are alive and dead at this point in the timeline and keeping track of that.
I wouldn't be surprised if they mention the events of Fallen Order in the series, but I would be very surprised if Cal himself appears, especially given that his story is still being told in the games.

That would be cool if Cal showed up, his actor actually learned the sword fighting choreography for mocap so he's primed and ready
