The third and most recent episode of the latest Disney Star Wars show, Obi Wan Kenobi, featured a rather large and wild performance of a classic character. That moment likely distracted many people from a lesser but also cool reference to the video game developed by Respawn. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
The rest of this story is full of Fallen Order and Kenobi spoilers. So if you haven’t seen the latest episode or played the game and are interested in such things, stay away!
Yesterday’s episode of Obi Wan Kenobi featured a climax meeting between the older, out-of-practice Kenobi and the deadly powerful Sith Lord himself, Darth Vader, aka Anakin Skywalker, aka the kid Kenobi trained in the prequels. To say that this was a big moment for the two icons is a bit of an understatement, and while I had some reservations about this supposed meeting, I think the show did a great job with it.
But I’m not here to talk about that moment or how Vader dragged Kenobi through flaming fire, even though it was a wild, evil, and memorable scene. Instead, I’m here to talk about the Inquisitor’s Headquarters, a location that first appeared Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

The Inquisitors This includes characters like Reva, the Grand Inquisitor and the other people, all wearing backs and wielding red sabers with spinning staffs, as seen in the Obi Wan Show. You are a group of dark side warriors who help Vader and the Emperor to find, capture, twist or kill the remaining Jedi and Force-sensitive children. And these mighty Jedi hunters call Fortress Inquisitorius their home base. This armored, tall, and imposing base sits atop the water-covered moon of Nur, and we first spotted it in the early trailers for Someone-One KenobI. In the new episode of the show, however, we have more of the same on display, including a hangar area and an underwater briefing room. And it was oh so familiar.
While this is the first time we’ve seen the fortress in live action, it originally appeared in 2019 Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, after he was first teased in a Darth Vader comic.
in the Fallen Order, we learn that the Empire is torturing in the great fortress, turning Jedi into Inquisitors. The main character of the game Cal Kestis, eventually goes to this large facility to retrieve a holocron containing the names of young people sensitive to violence, narrowly escaping Darth Vader. In the game we see an interrogation chamber and underwater tunnels and rooms that are part of the fortress.
Last month in advance Obi Wan’s premiere, teased Ewan McGregor – the actor known to play the beloved Jedi Master a connection with a video game. Many speculated that the game was Fallen Order and this latest installment seems to confirm those theories.
This isn’t the first time items by Fallen Order have appeared war of stars Shows on Disney+. The bad batch Animated series introduced a planet from the game in one episodeand a Droid model that first appeared in the game appeared in an episode of Boba Fett’s book earlier this year. And just recently, Kestis made a brief, untitled cameo in a new one war of stars Book.
Now I’m wondering: will Cal Kestis himself appear in any of this live action? war of stars shows? The game’s character was, after all, modeled after his voice actor, Cameron Monaghan.
Or do we have to wait until next year Fallen Order Consequence Releases on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC to catch up with the red-haired Jedi? Or maybe he shows up in one of the 4000 coming war of stars video games What can we look forward to in the years to come?
