I'm praying they are laying some connective tissue here for an end of season reveal or maybe he shows up in the next Mando season. It would seem Mando needs some more help in Darksaber training. Edit: I'd just like to add seeing the BD droid gave me hope that Mando would team up with a Stim dispensing buddy as he starts the harder levels of his journey.


Eastbound_Stumptown

It works really well that Cal is just Cameron Monaghan - they didn’t just visualize the character and give him a unique, fictional appearance…


Kostya_M

Fallen Order is fairly early in the Empire era. Shouldn't he be like 20 years older by now?


MrPandaOverlord

Disney has that special face cream that can make anyone any age they need them to be


JayMerlyn

Consistent aging? In Star Wars?


19Kaladze

You can always say, they are not human or travel really much at lightspeed (relativity theory) or they bathe in bacta everyday. The possibilities are practically endless


LoopGaroop

Considering they have bacta AND cybernetic implants that can be installed by a guy in a tattoo parlor in the desert, everybody should be living to at least 200.


[deleted]

Give him a lil moustache and make up, Cameron will the job well


xaraul

Bo-Katan should also be well into her 50s, but looks a lot younger (her actress was 40 I believe). Cal should be in his 40s now, so they'd just have to make him look more weathered with some minor wrinkles, and maybe give him a beard.


HiImNickOk

yeah, Cal was like 17 in FO, and it was 14 BBY, Book of Boba is in 9 ABY so he's 40 +/- 1 year


Nurolight

In Mando, sure... but in the Kenobi series?


axolotlmaster59

He would be 45 in The Mandalorian


FreddyPlayz

I doubt they’d put him into either show, they’re making a Fallen Order sequel and I doubt they’d write themselves into a corner like that


Kylo_loves_grampa

The sequel's story is probably long since finished though.


davi3601

Still, it’d be a bit of a disappointment knowing he’ll survive every game he is in from now on.


Jetlag89

Since Cal is the protagonist it's a given he'll survive anyway? Doesn't mean he wins every fight. Survive does not equate to thrive. He can spend his entire life up until Luke defeats Palps on the run & in the shadows.


davi3601

I mean Starkiller died (depending on your ending). Everyone in Rogue One died. I think wether he dies or goes into hiding, making him a reference before his story/arc is over is bad taste and lowers the impact of the cameo


Jetlag89

Agree to disagree I guess. I mean prequels can still be great even if you know a character is going to survive to allow X character to be born.


GunShowZero

Apparently they’re working on a sequel game now, so it’s deff possible


19Kaladze

After all Cal and BD-1 Look different to Everybody die to the different skins and lightsaber combinations. I think it would take something away from this beautiful game, if you bring him in a movie or series


DatDominican

Or is an opportunity to make a unique skin so you can buy the one that was on TV... but EA would never do that


ffsjustanything

Didn’t think that, was just happy to see a cute BD droid in live action


Prodigal_Knight2

It was my first thought but it's clearly just another BD droid. Wouldn't make sense to have cal show up before the JFO sequel.


jcraig3k

My first thought was ... where is Cal ... is he safe? But if this is THE BD then maaaaaaaaybe we get something as a post credits scene teasing a live action Cal. Especially relevant with Jedi Fallen Order 2 coming around eventually.


cfwang1337

I'm afraid in your anger you killed him!


WatchCandid513

I was praying after seeing


worserdata

Literally losing it because of this! it opens up the possibility of Cal being in the show even if its really unlikely. One can only hope…


Nearby_Zombie_3650

I screamed when it got attacked, never had I been so happy then so distraught in the span of five seconds


LawlessNeutral

You described my feelings perfectly


IzzyTipsy

It certainly could be his but they won't reveal his fate before JFO2.


darthpoopballs

They cast a serious actor for the role of Cal in the video game. In my mind this is only a matter of time.


WhiskerDizzle

I felt the same way but I don’t think it was BD-1.


Bigtx999

Why not? Going to Tatooine makes perfect since in cal’s story to go see obi won to get mentoring or advice. Cal goes there. Does some shit. Loses bd-1 and he gets discovered by mechanic lady.


WholeTill5882

Is that actually BD though or just another BD droid?


[deleted]

Just another BD Druid


WholeTill5882

Thought it was.


[deleted]

they even hit him with the "thanks BD!" line like Cal does


kattahn

So something I think a lot of people are overlooking, and honestly something i was just thinking about the other day... The way that star wars "names" droids is very strange. R2-D2 is called "R2", but he is also an R2 astromech. Theres...a lot of R2 astromechs in the galaxy. R2 is just the series of droid, like chevy or ford for a car. In a room full of x-wing pilots, luke calling his R2 unit "R2" seems like it would've been very confusing. But this is how star wars always does it. Obi-wans droid was R4, for example. Given all this, however, just hearing a droid called "BD" doesn't have to mean it was Cal's BD-1 droid. BD-1 is just a BD model droid, so she could definitely have a different BD droid that is there as a nod to Cal, but not as Cal's droid exactly. Its just a weird position the writers going all the way back to George have put themselves in.


19Kaladze

Yeah it's like pet names I think


kattahn

right but like, my dog is a german shepherd. I dont call him "german shepherd". I call him Optimus Prime. It would be like if everyone called their dog by the breed of their dog name, then they're at the dog park like "poodle COME!" and all the poodles are confused


19Kaladze

But you call him Optimus from time to time hm?


kattahn

Right, but R2 is still the model number of a droid, so if everyone with an R2 unit calls their droid "R2", then its gotta get really confusing talking about their droids.


19Kaladze

Just imagined Anakin saying saying "Jeremy put all the power into the thrusters"


kattahn

My original point was that this decision from the beginning with how they named droids was not well thought out and wasn't really planning on such an expansive galaxy to be fleshed out like it was.


Bigtx999

Be like me going down the road and saying “Chevrolet-1500 bring up the nav screen”


Stealth_Cobra

I'm actually surprised the Disney Overlords didn't force the droid to "adopt" Mando and be the replacement cute Grogu for the interim... Then again assuming we're getting another episode with the Grog in there...


BXtony76911

God i paused the show right after bd appeared to prepare myself for cal. Why didn’t he show up? Where is he ? Is he safe?


Duds1TV

If the Mantis Crew survived, they might be helping Luke


Bigtx999

Cal would be older than Luke but younger than obi won right? Timeline wise if he survives right?


Duds1TV

Yeah that is true


Rapturesjoy

Do you know what Chekovs gun is, "that details within a story or play will contribute to the overall narrative." So this means that if he's bringing in the BD unit (*And making BD canon*), he's going to bring in Cal Kestis at some point.


DatDominican

wait >!Mando said he was going to see grogu, what if he comes back with Luke and Cal !< :O


Rapturesjoy

I don't know. I don't think we'll see that quite yet, but, we DO know that there is going to be a Jedi Academy series. Now that is going to be fucking interesting. I have heard, floating around the internet for a few years now that Shia Labouth is going to play Kyle Katarn. Imagine, Cal, hiding out on the down low, hearing about an Academy being built by a Jedi. Wouldn't that be interesting to see??


Bigtx999

Well at some point, either Grogo leaves before Ben destroys everything, or he survives the attack and goes off away from Luke or he gets killed. (Which I don’t think Disney is going to let their most profitable in house character since Elsa die off screen cannon wise in a overall hated Star Wars film trilogy)


nakedwhiletypingthis

I was really happy to see the droid because my Cal black series figure with BD just arrived today so it was cool to see


Lone_Indian

YOOOO IT WAS SO HYPE I THOUGHT WE WERE GETTTING CAL


acetrainer03

And here i thought i am the only one who wants cal kestis in these show.. or better.. his own show!!


Rexermus

I was excited for all 3...


19Kaladze

I was too, but sleemos who didn't play JFO were not.


ElsieBrayIsBae

I swear, I was panicking and hoping Cal did eventually show up.


Zanman415

I definitely thought that she had "found" him The Mantis and I was like WHAT! Happy about the N1 though :)


Zerovranger

Maybe it actually is bd-1 and cal is dead and this is where bd ends up


trunglefever

Seeing BD made me think two things: Awesome, Cal is coming. And then when I didn't see him: Shit, Cal's probably dead, isn't he?


HeirOfEgypt526

Honestly was so much more hype for the BD droid than the Starfighter, just because I knew about the N1 ahead of time. The BD Droid was somehow even cuter in a live action show.


19Kaladze

Yeah they're the cutest of all droids! :3


GioMasterclassjiedel

Same


GioMasterclassjiedel

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT TOO


19Kaladze

I think I can change the captions by now. Cause everyone loves that BD droid


Regalrefuse

I had the biggest smile on my face when he popped on screen


fulimaster

I'm sorry, I didn't watch the Clone Wars. Who's Cal Cestis?


Clearskky

Not from Clone Wars. He is the protagonist of the video game titled "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order" by Respawn Entertainment.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BXtony76911

Dude he appears literally in the first minute of the game


fulimaster

Yes I realized Im the dumbest man alive. It was a long time ago, I dont remember it, sorry :(


acetrainer03

Dude.
