Interacting with these echoes provides crucial context for the game's narrative and the broader Star Wars canon.
Datalogs, found on terminals or as collectible data pads, offer more direct exposition. These entries can detail the history of planets, the nature of alien species, the inner workings of the Empire, or the philosophies of different Force traditions. They serve to flesh out the world and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the challenges Cal faces. Environmental storytelling also plays a sificant role; the ruins of Jedi temples, the remnants of battles, and the state of the planets themselves often tell a story without explicit narration.
