Kashyyyk: Wookiee Liberation
The lush, arboreal planet of Kashyyyk serves as a pivotal location in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, where Cal Kestis joins forces with the Wookiees to liberate their homeworld from Imperial occupation. This chapter involves navigating dense forests, ancient Wookiee settlements, and confronting Imperial forces who are exploiting the planet's resources and enslaving its inhabitants. Cal's mission is to aid the Wookiee resistance, rescue key figures, and ultimately strike a blow against the Empire's presence.
Upon arriving on Kashyyyk, Cal will encounter Tarfful, a respected Wookiee warrior, and other resistance fighters. Your primary objective is to locate and rally the scattered Wookiee forces. This often involves traversing challenging terrain, utilizing Cal's Force powers and lightsaber skills to overcome Imperial patrols and dangerous wildlife. You'll need to use abilities like Force Push and Pull to manipulate the environment, create pathways, and disable enemy emplacements. Stealth may also be a viable option in certain areas to avoid overwhelming odds.
Key objectives on Kashyyyk include reaching the Origin Tree, the heart of the Wookiee civilization, and climbing its colossal structure to rally the Wookiees. This ascent will involve a combination of climbing, wall-running, and using the environment to your advantage. You'll face specialized Imperial units, including Purge Troopers, who are trained to hunt Jedi. Mastering parrying and dodging is essential for survival against these elite enemies. BD-1's abilities, such as hacking terminals and providing tactical support, will also be invaluable.
