Jedi Fallen Order Show Is a Possibility
Jedi Fallen Order Show Rumours

During an interview, Monaghan was asked if he’d return to play Kestis for a possible Jedi Fallen Order show. After all, we already know he’s returning for Jedi: Survivor, so a TV show wouldn’t be too impossible of an idea. Monaghan said, “Well, of course, there’s interest. That’s about all I can say.”
It’s a pretty short and sweet answer! However, it’s interesting to note how little Monaghan spoke about the possibility of a Jedi Fallen Order show. Notably, Disney is very secretive with their upcoming material and rumoured shows, so it’s possible they told Monaghan to keep his lips sealed. Monaghan saying very little is actually saying a lot!
Additionally, there’s been plenty of rumours of a Jedi Fallen Order show ever since EA dropped the video game, and critics loved it. According to the rumours, the show will feature Monaghan as Cal, and it will take place directly after the video game.
Indeed, one notable insider named Kristian Harloff stated:
“Rumor is that there’s a Cal Kestis show in the works for Disney+. The rumor is that actually signed on to play the character from Jedi: Fallen Order in a live-action series for Disney+. There’s no production dates set, but my source tells me that this is happening.
Naturally, as this is a rumour, it’s important to remember that it could easily be untrue. There’s no guarantee that Monaghan will play the live-action role, let alone if there’s even a Jedi Fallen Order show! Monaghan did not only voice Kestis but also gave his likeness through special motion capture technology. Whatsmore, despite being canon, none of the Fallen Order characters have appeared outside of the game, not even in live-action or animation. This is unusual since the game is canon, and Disney loves crossovers.

Additionally, some aspects of the game have made it into the wider Star Wars Universe. For example, the base for the Inquisitors, called ‘Fortress Inquisitorius’, recently made its live-action debut. It appeared in the hit show Obi-Wan Kenobi. Interestingly, even though the series is set roughly at the same time as Fallen Order, we didn’t see any of the characters appear in Kenobi. Perhaps Disney is saving them for a special Jedi Fallen Order show.
