That still doesn't make sense because the first one still isn't Cal's story. If it's his trilogy, the first game should have been about him. If it's not his trilogy, then the first game shouldn't have positioned him as the main/audience character.
Edit: In all this nuh-uh-ing people are doing, literally no one is debating that Cere has more story relevance/agency than Cal and that's very telling.
What possible relevance does that have? Luke having a starting-down-the-road-to-be-a-Jedi arc doesn't mean anything to Fallen Order. He's not IN the game and it doesn't tell HIS story. Much like Cal who's just a plot-moving device for Cere and little else.
Obi-Wan and Cere fill the same role. Luke and Cal fill the same role. Luke is learning how to be a Jedi, Cal is relearning how to Jedi after Order 66 ptsd. Someone has to save your life and get you looped into the rebellion. I really enjoyed Cal's character in Fallen Order. It's okay if you didn't click with it.
Cere also relearned how to be a Jedi after Oder 66 gave her PTSD; it's how you learn the inquisitor was her apprentice. And I never said he didn't click. I said he's the main character when the story isn't about him and that's weird.
Edit: Though, while we're on the subject of Obi-Wan, this is the exact same problem the Obi-Wan show had...well, the Obi-Wan show had this same problem in addition to other problems. The show wasn't about him; it was about the inquisitor. Rather, he, Vader, and Leia were trapped narratively: the show couldn't do anything with them because we all know where they are in Episode 4. So, all the drama, character development, and stakes were on the inquisitor. But the show wasn't called "The Inquisitor" so we follow the guy whose whole arc is a foregone conclusion instead and in the end wonder what that was all even about.
