Respawn’s Jedi: Survivor included a ton of new and returning characters completely crucial to Star Wars Canon but perhaps none more important than Turgle.
The giant froggy menace grabbed the attention of Star Wars fans for his strangely charismatic shenanigans, and now Jedi: Survivor director Stig Asmussen has teased his return in the future.

Speaking to IGN for Podcast Beyond, Asmussen commented on the fan reaction to Turgle and gave his followers hope that they’ll get even more in the future.
“When you work on a game, you never know what people are going to latch onto and Turgle… the team love Turgle,” he said.
“I think Richard Horvitz, the actor, did a fine job with him, but once it goes live, once it’s out in the wild and seeing people’s reaction with that, it confirmed and validated a lot of the feelings that we had on the team.”
Finally, when asked if Turgle could return, perhaps in the third game that Asmussen hopes to make, Asmussen teased that he hopes so.
Turgle wasn’t the only thing that captured fans’ attention in the long-awaited sequel, however, as they also recreated Star Wars’ most famous lightsabers, winced at the return of Jedi: Fallen Order’s most infamous foe, and enjoyed watching Cal Kestis hang out with Luke Skywalker in a comical advert.
In our 9/10 review, IGN said: “If Respawn makes a third game like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Fallen Order, it’ll complete the best Star Wars trilogy in 30 years, hands down.”
