The third and most up-to-date episode of the latest Disney Star Wars present, Obi-Wan Kenobi, featured a reasonably large and wild look by a basic character. That second most likely distracted a whole lot of people from a much less massive, but additionally cool reference to the Respawn-developed online game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
The remainder of this story is stuffed with Fallen Order and Kenobi spoilers, so in the event you haven’t seen the newest episode or performed that sport but and care about this sort of stuff, keep away!
Yesterday’s episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi featured a climactic assembly between the older, out-of-practice Kenobi and the lethal highly effective Sith Lord himself, Darth Vader, aka Anakin Skywalker, aka the child Kenobi educated within the prequels. So to say this was an enormous second for the 2 icons is a little bit of an understatement, and whereas I had some reservations about this rumored assembly, I believe the present did an important job with it.
However I’m not right here to speak about that second, or Vader dragging Kenobi by way of burning fireplace, even when it was a wild, evil and memorable scene. As an alternative, I’m right here to speak concerning the Inquisitor’s headquarters, a location that first appeared in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

The Inquisitors embody characters like Reva, The Grand Inquisitor, and the opposite people sporting all again and wielding purple spinning workers sabers as seen within the Obi-Wan present. They’re a gaggle of darkish facet warriors that assist Vader and the Emperor discover, catch, flip or kill the remaining Jedi and force-sensitive kids. And these force-wielding Jedi hunters name Fortress Inquisitorius their dwelling base. This armored, tall and imposing base is situated on the water-covered moon of Nur and we first noticed it within the early trailers for Obi-Wan Kenobi. Nevertheless, within the new episode of the present, we received to see extra of it, together with a hangar space and underwater assembly room. And it was oh-so acquainted.
Whereas that is the primary time we’ve seen the fortress in live-action, it initially appeared in 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, after first being teased in a Darth Vader comedian.
In Fallen Order, we be taught that the massive fort is the place the Empire tortures and turns Jedi into Inquisitors. The principle character of the sport, Cal Kestis, ultimately heads to this massive facility to get again a Holocron containing the names of younger force-sensitive people, and barely escapes Darth Vader. Within the sport, we see an interrogation chamber and underwater tunnels and rooms which might be a part of the fortress.
Final month, within the lead-up to Obi-Wan’s premiere, Ewan McGregor—the actor who famously performs the beloved Jedi Grasp—teased a reference to a online game. Many speculated that the sport was Fallen Order and this newest episode appears to verify these theories.
This isn’t the primary time components of Fallen Order have popped up in Star Wars reveals on Disney+. The Dangerous Batch animated sequence featured a planet from the sport in a single episode, and a droid mannequin that first appeared within the sport popped up in an episode of The E-book of Boba Fett earlier this yr. And only recently, Kestis made a quick, unnamed cameo in a brand new Star Wars guide.
Now I’m wondering: Will Cal Kestis himself make an look in considered one of these live-action Star Wars reveals? The sport’s character was modeled on his voice actor Cameron Monaghan in any case.
Or will now we have to attend till subsequent yr’s Fallen Order sequel releases on PS5, Xbox Sequence X/S, and PC to meet up with the red-headed Jedi? Or possibly he’ll pop up in one of many 4000 upcoming Star Wars video video games we are able to sit up for over the subsequent few years?
