Since the teaser trailer was released on May 27, many fans are wondering who is in the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Bacta Tank?

With the sequel likely to come sooner than later, here's a primer on who might be in the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Bacta Tank that we see in the teaser trailer.

Who Is In The Star Wars Jedi Survivor Bacta Tank?
Click to enlargeThe truth is that currently, we have no concrete answer about who is in the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Bacta Tank, and while we're sure to find out as the game's release date nears, there are a few theories on who it could be.
For those unaware of the role of the Bacta Tanks in Star Wars, they serve as cylindrical tanks that people can submerge themselves in to accelerate the healing of wounds and treat major injuries. They were first introduced during The Empire Strikes Back, when Luke uses one to heal from his encounter with the Wampa, but they are incredibly common across the Star Wars universe as a method of first aid, with Boba Fett and Darth Vader among the character who frequently use them.
In the Jedi: Survivor trailer, we see a few shots of a character submerged in a Bacta Tank, as Cal Kestis watches on. The character has flowing white hair and some scars, but nothing immediately points to it could be. One of the theories so far is that it's Taron Malicos from the first game, but this was a relatively minor character who was presumed dead, and the scars don't quite match up enough.

Starkiller is most famous for being the protagonist of the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed games, and Survivor could be a way for them to bring him back into canon and the video game medium. He's one of the most famous Sith characters of the Empire era, and with him loitering in the Legends brand and not being used, it seems like a perfect opportunity.
Our last theory on whom the person in the Bacta Tank could be is a little out there, but we don't have much to go off. Firstly, the Jedi: Survivor title may not necessarily be referring to Cal himself, and could instead be about the mysterious character in the tank, making it likely that they too are a Jedi that lasted through Order 66. In canon, there is a small number of these we know about, and Quinlan Vos is a potential candidate.
We last saw him in The Clone Wars animated series, and we know he was rumoured to have survived the purge. In the animated series, he has long darker hair, but over a decade has passed since the end of the war and the start of Jedi: Survivor, meaning his hair could have turned white as he aged in the Bacta Tank.
Those are our theories as to who could be in the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Bacta Tank, and now you know some of the potential candidates who could be returning. We'll update this article as we gain a concrete understanding of who's in the tank and how the plot of this game is set to pan out.
