It’s no secret that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order borrows heavily from the literally genre-defining Souls games. FromSoftware’s influence can be felt in the Star Wars title’s timing-based combat and bonfire-esque checkpoint system, as well as its generally punishing difficulty.

The comic series on which the tv show is based is much of the same thing. As most film and television adaptations go, there have been many changes between the comics and the tv show....
