Star Wars Fans Are Begging Disney For Live Action Cal Kestis

Prior to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor imminent launch this month, fans are once again asking Disney to bring Cal Kestis beyond the video game series by Respawn, and to give us a live-action embodiment of a fan-favorite character in one of the upcoming TV shows.

First, note that this whole idea is nothing new, as fans have already discussed how cool it’ll be to see Cameron Monaghan as Cal Kestis appearing in some Star Wars series like Mandalorian or Obi-Wan Kenobi since Jedi: Fallen Order released all the way back in 2019. However, despite how appealing and convenient this concept may sound, we are still waiting for the character to get wider recognition. Sure, there has also been an ongoing debate among the fans about Cal Kestis actually being a boring protagonist, yet it only highlights just how much people talk about him all along, further proving that we need to see him in another medium.

Amid the Star Wars Celebration, the hot topic of a live-action Cal Kestis is trending once again on socials, with fans all across the web actively trying to reach Disney and make their dream come true. Dozens of related replies and posts appeared across Twitter in recent days, with people hinting at an obvious resemblance between actor Cameron Monaghan and Cal Kestis, offering to cast him as this character for future projects. “Give Cal the live action he deserves,” one fan wrote, sharing their excitement about seeing Monaghan on stage at the event. “We need him in live action already,” another reply on Star Wars Celebration official account says.

It is too early to say for certain, but considering all we know about Jedi: Survivor so far, live-action Cal Kestis may be closer than some might expect. For starters, Respawn’s games are one of the biggest Star Wars projects of past years which also include notable characters from recent TV shows and movies, like Saw Gerrera from Rogue One and Andor. Not to mention that a BD model droid from the game appeared in The Book of Boba Fett in the past. In addition, Cameron Monaghan himself just hyped the audience by saying that Jedi: Survivor’s ending is “so cool,” it’s “his favorite thing in the series so far.” Naturally, this could mean anything at that point, but there are already some speculations about Kestis’ possible appearance in the upcoming Ahsoka series.

Disney is yet to reveal any future projects featuring Cal Kestis if any are planned, yet it’s most likely won’t happen before Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launches on April 28. Perhaps, the game’s ambitious ending will offer some hints to the fans about what’s next for Cal Kestis and Cameron Monaghan.
