Importance of Star Wars Lore

The podcast emphasizes the significance of Star Wars lore in shaping the narrative and character motivations within the games. Characters like Cal Kestis, who may seem disposable, are placed in a timeline where their actions feel inconsequential due to the established events of the broader Star Wars saga. The discussion highlights the difficulty in crafting an engaging story when the outcomes are predetermined by the existing canon, particularly since fans are already aware that the Jedi Order doesn’t get re-established. This disconnect results in a lack of investment in the characters, as their journeys often feel futile against the backdrop of the established lore.
