Insider Claims Lucasfilm Is Working on Cal Kestis’ Live-Action Debut

Share:

Lucasfilm is reportedly planning to bring Cal Kestis, the protagonist from the Star Wars Jedi video games, into a live-action project that could be a movie or a Disney+ series. Daniel Richtman, a well-known industry insider, shared this information on his Patreon account.

It’s unclear if Cameron Monaghan, who portrays Cal in the games, will reprise his role in the live-action adaptation. Given his strong connection to the character, many hope he will.

The timeline of the Star Wars Jedi games is set around 9 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). In contrast, series like The Mandalorian and Ahsoka occur approximately nine years after A New Hope. This difference in timelines might influence how Cal’s character is integrated into live-action storytelling.

Jon Favreau, co-creator of The Mandalorian, has previously addressed the possibility of incorporating characters from the Star Wars Jedi series into live-action. While he appreciates the rich stories from various Star Wars media, he hasn’t confirmed any specific plans for Cal Kestis.

As of now, Lucasfilm hasn’t officially announced any live-action projects featuring Cal Kestis. However, the character’s growing popularity and the success of the video games suggest that his transition to live-action could be on the horizon, and the rumors point to it being so.
