Timeline of Events

Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is set in a specific period of the Star Wars timeline, approximately five years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and the execution of Order 66. This era is known as the early years of the Galactic Empire's re, a time of oppression and fear for Force-sensitives.

The game's narrative unfolds during this tumultuous period, where the Jedi Order has been largely eradicated, and the Empire consolidates its power. Cal Kestis, a young Padawan who survived Order 66, is forced to live in hiding, suppressing his connection to the Force to avoid detection by the Empire's Inquisitors.

Key chronological points within the game's context:

• ~19 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin): The execution of Order 66. The Jedi Temple is attacked, and Jedi across the galaxy are hunted down and killed by their Clone Troopers.
• Five Years Post-Order 66: The setting of Jedi: Fallen Order. Cal Kestis is working as a scrapper on the planet Bracca. The Empire's grip on the galaxy is tightening, and the hunt for any surviving Jedi is ongoing.
• The Search for the Holocron: Cal's journey begins with a mission to find a Holocron containing a list of Force-sensitive children, a relic from the old Jedi Order. This quest puts him directly in the crosshairs of the Empire.
• The Mantis Crew: Cal teams up with a diverse crew aboard the starship Stinger Mantis, including Cere Junda (a former Jedi Knight), Greez Dritus (a four-armed pilot), and BD-1 (his loyal droid companion).
• Planetary Exploration: The crew travels to various planets—Bogano, Zeffo, Kashyyyk, and Dathomir—each holding clues and challenges related to the ancient Jedi and the Zeffo civilization.
• Confrontation with the Empire: Throughout the game, Cal and his crew face off against Imperial forces, including Stormtroopers, Purge Troopers, and the formidable Second Sister, an Inquisitor tasked with hunting down Jedi.
• The Path to Rebuilding: Cal's ultimate goal is to find a way to rebuild the Jedi Order, a monumental task in a galaxy dominated by the Empire.

Understanding this timeline provides context for the desperation of the era, the ruthlessness of the Empire, and the sificance of Cal's struggle. The game effectively portrays the galaxy under Imperial rule, where hope is scarce, and the legacy of the Jedi is all but forgotten.
