We stan Cal Kestis in this house. After 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order cut through us like a lightsaber, and we enjoy anytime we can return to this world such as in Survivor. Now we get to see the original story in a whole new way as its being adapted as a comic.

Announcing during Star Wars Celebration 2025's 'Manga Mania' panel, the comic studio Mangado is adapting director Stig Asmussen and writer Aaron Contreras' Fallen Order game as a comic. While a release date and a publishing house hasn't been laid out, the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order comic is being orchestrated by Disney Publishing Worldwide's Milan offices.

"Cal Kestis, a former Jedi Padawan, narrowly escaped the purge of Order 66. Now on the run from the
Empire’s deadly Inquisitorius, Cal teams up with a former Jedi Knight and a cantankerous pilot in a quest
to revive the Jedi Order," reads Disney Publishing Worldwide's description of the comic. "Can Cal unlock the secrets of the past before the Empire catches up with him?"

This is Cal Kestis' second comic, following a 2019 prequel to the game titled Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - Dark Temple.
