We got a lengthy look at the game during an event held by EA in Los Angeles. Here's everything we learned:
1. "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order" is a single-player action game with some light puzzle solving — like "Star Wars" meets "Uncharted."
2. It stars Cal Kestis, a lonely Jedi who's on the run from the Imperial government.

3. The game's characters are a very "Star Wars" mix of goofy, gruff, and fashionable.
4. The demo started with Cal outright climbing an AT-AT, taking it over, and wrecking everything in his path.

5. The game's combat is tactical and methodical — you are not Superman.
6. BD-1 is a real delight.

7. Cal's mobility is a big part of the game.
8. Using the Force looks fun as heck.
