It is a period of darkness in the galaxy. 
The Jedi Order that kept peace for generations has fallen. The Chancellor of the Galactic Senate has declared himself Emperor of the First Galactic Empire and he all but wiped out the noble Jedi. Those who escaped the purge have gone into hiding, keeping their abilities hidden because they are still being hunted by the Empire.
One young Jedi, Cal Kestis, hid for years on the planet Bracca working in a scrapyard dismantling old starships until an incident forced him to use his powers. Cal was able to make a narrow escape with the help of Cere Junda and Greez Dritus. The trio must now embark on a mission to restore the Jedi Order.
The above is a vague outline of the story for the game, Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order by Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts. In the game you take on the persona of Cal Kestis and try to complete his various quests. The game is fun to play and the overall look is incredible. Your quests have you traveling to various planets, each with their own unique environment. One of my favorite things to do in Fallen Order is exploring every nook and cranny. The designers did an amazing job, which is no surprise since this is Star Wars; the details have to be just right. I am sure that countless hours were spent getting everything to look just right. Playing on these worlds in the game is fun, but if you are like me, you want more. Fortunately, you can delve deeper into the worlds you visit with Star Wars: The Art of Jedi Fallen Order.
I love to peek behind the curtain, as it were, and see how these worlds and environments are created. I also enjoy seeing the rejected clothing and weapon designs; there are examples in the book.
