Star Wars Jedi's Cal Kestis reportedly set to appear in live-action project

Key conclusions

  • Industry insider DanielRPK claims that Cal Kestis will appear in a Star Wars project “very soon.”
  • We don't know what that project is, but it's worth noting that Skeleton Crew is coming out later this year, followed by The Mandalorian & Grogu in 2026, and then the second Ahsoka series.
  • However, this could be an unannounced project, so we'll have to wait and see.



According to insider DanielRPK via his Patreon, Cal Kestis from Respawn Entertainment's hit series Star Wars: Jedi will be coming to the Disney Plus project “very soon.”

We've seen Republic Commandos appear in the Clone Wars and Bad Batch animated series, and The Mandalorian was referenced in Battlefront 2's Operation Ashes, but no game character has made the jump to live-action.

Cameron Monaghan has previously expressed interest in bringing Cal into live-action as long as it “continues the story or the character in some way”.

As with most modern Star Wars games, Cal Kestis will be easy to translate into live action because Respawn uses actor Cameron Monaghan's likeness with photorealistic graphics. The Star Wars games have been future-proofing the possibility of the character being used elsewhere for years, and it finally paid off — the next Iden Versio, eh?



Which project will Cal Kestis appear in?

If this report is true, the question is what project Cal could appear in. “Very soon” isn't entirely clear, but it narrows it down somewhat. Skeleton Crew will be released later this year, while The Mandalorian & Grogu will be released in 2026. The shooting of the second series of Ahsoka will also begin in 2025.

​While this may be an unannounced project, Ahsoka looks like a perfect fit. Set right after Return of the Jedi. This would be the perfect time to introduce Cal to the wider Star Wars universe without clashing with the games and opening up more lingering questions about where he was during the events of the Original Trilogy.


Ahsoka has already introduced other Jedi of the era, such as Ezra Bridger from the Rebels animated series, bringing together the Jedi of the Expanded Universe living under the brutal rule of the Empire. Adding Cal to the mix would be perfect, but maybe I'm way off the mark and he'll be a cameo in The Mandalorian and Grog. We'll just have to wait and see.
