We recently told you about Obi-Wan Kenobi's potential link to the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order video game, but Making Star Wars (via SFFGazette.com) has now provided a few more compelling insights.
So, Saw Garrera's Partisans are on a planet called Jabiim which was once a key fighting ground in the Clone Wars. Now, they're there protecting something, but what could it be? According to the site, there's a colony of Force-sensitive beings, and when Obi-Wan is approached by that young Jedi on Tatooine, it's to tell him that there's a potential new Jedi Order waiting in the wings to fight the Empire.
They're all in hiding due to Order 66, and it's said to be a possibility that Cal Kestis' mission to find those Force-sensitive children could tie into this somehow. Purge Troopers will be part of Obi-Wan Kenobi, of course, while it's now confirmed that the planet Nur will factor into this story (that's near Mustafar and is home to the Fortress Inquisitorius, a key location in Fallen Order).
As for this group of potential Jedi Knights, it sounds like most won't survive a run in with Darth Vader, his Purge Troopers, and the Sith Inquisitors. In other words, expect an absolute massacre in the show, but don't be surprised if some of these kids escape and live to fight another day.
They have cyber crystals, and Saw clearly believed he could topple the Empire with his own army of Jedi. That's a fascinating plot point, and one we expect to be expanded on somehow.
Obi-Wan Kenobi premieres on Disney+ on May 25.
