Electronic Arts this morning released the story trailer for action roleplaying game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and we are nonplussed.

It begins with fortune cookie "wisdom" about fire being cosy but dangerous, and ends with the suggestion that a place is only worth fighting for if the Empire isn't there.

We've finally found somewhere the Empire can't reach us.

Imagine, no more looking over your shoulder. A place that's worth fighting for.

No matter the cost.

Which feels completely opposite to everything which has come before.

The Rebel Alliance didn't fight for locations.

They fought against the Empire.

And the Jedi adhered to a code.

We haven't played the first game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order so maybe this makes sense in that context, though we have read through its plot online and don't think it does.

Visually magnificent though.

That and decent gameplay might be enough to please many players.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will launch on April 28 on PC (Steam and Epic), Xbox X|S and PS5.
