Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order follows Cal Kestis, a young Jedi in hiding on the planet Bracca five years after the Jedi Purge and rise of the Galactic Empire seen in Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. Kestis is forced on the run after being discovered by the Empire and joins former Jedi master Cere Junda, her partner and pilot Greez Dritus, and the small droid BD-1. The crew’s journey takes them across multiple planets as they search for a way to rebuild the Jedi Order while also staying one step ahead of the Empire’s Inquisitors, former Jedi turned to the dark side of the Force and tasked with hunting down the surviving Jedi in hiding across the galaxy.

The Inquisitors are typically flanked by multiple Stormtroopers, not that they provide any meaningful assistance in the formers’ hunt for the Jedi. A clip posted to Fallen Order’s official Reddit page by user OmusCinder proves this point as a rocket trooper is seen trying to take out a dangerous creature as Cal Kestis runs up on the encounter. The young Jedi force pushes the creature off a cliff, and unfortunately for the trooper, they keep their aim at the creature as it falls and fires the rocket directly into the ground in front of themself.
As disastrous as this is for the rocket trooper, it’s fitting given their aforementioned role in the Star Wars universe. The films and shows are full of various kinds of stormtroopers, whether it be the standard troopers or the speeder bike-riding scout troopers, suffering disastrous fates when they come across the heroes. They are shot, stabbed, blown up, beaten, and so much more when they attempt to spread the Empire’s will and make the audience question Obi-Wan Kenobi’s description of dangerous and accurate troopers in A New Hope.
However, stormtroopers may get it the worst in video games because of the weapons and abilities Star Wars games often give players to combat the Empire with. Fallen Order, alone, gives players a lightsaber and suite of force powers to rag-doll the white armor-clad troops with when they cross Cal Kestis’ path. It may only get worse for stormtroopers, too, depending on how Cal Kestis’ power grows in the upcoming sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
