Mark Hamill Shows Cameron Monaghan How to Use the Force in New ‘Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’ Commercial

EA Games has released a new video on YouTube featuring Mark Hamill and Cameron Monaghan. The video shows Hamill “training” Monaghan on how to use the Force and how to use a lightsaber during one of the motion capture sessions for the video game sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Playing as a Jedi may look easy, but in Motion Capture Session 386, Mark Hamill pops in to offer actor Cameron Monaghan some advice on his role as Jedi Cal Kestis in STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor. Wise words and questionable training methods from Mark will hopefully give Cameron the edge he needs as he continues his journey from STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order™. The story of Cal, Merrin, Greez, and Cere continues in STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor, an epic new adventure that will push Cal further than ever as he fights to protect the ones he loves against a galaxy descending into darkness at the height of the Empire’s power.

Picking up five years after the events of STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order, STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor is a third person, narrative-driven action-adventure game from Respawn Entertainment, developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor will be available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC.

RUMOR ALERT! Cameron Monaghan Getting a Disney+ Series?

We have been hearing some incoming chatter coming across our various Imperial spies around the Outer Rim. Normally we would not disseminate this information to the denizens of the New Republic because we are unsure of the accuracy of the transmissions. However, we want to make sure that all information is on the table, so that you are not caught unaware in the galactic wilds! Remember to take everything below with a nice big helping of salt!

Today, Kristian Harloff offered a rather tantalizing rumor on his YouTube channel, regarding Cameron Monaghan being approached to do a live-action spin-off to the Star Wars Jedi video game series.

“Rumor, rumor, rumor… Have to say that – not confirmed! Got this from someone I’ve trusted in the past, tells me this is a thing… The rumor itself, at the moment, is that there is a Cal Kestis show in the works for Disney Plus. The rumor is that [the actor Cameron Monaghan has] actually signed on to play the character from Jedi: Fallen Order in a live-action series for Disney Plus. There’s no production dates set, but my source tells me that this is happening.”

Is this true? According to Harloff, he received this information from a source that he absolutely trusts. If true, this is great news for fan of the Star Wars Jedi game series. If you haven’t played, I highly recommend it. The gameplay is fantastic, but the story is fantastic and compelling.

Of course, why wouldn’t you turn a game that has experienced so much success into a series on Disney+. The studio went out of their way to hire Monaghan to begin with. It seems like an easy win to me.
