If you ask everyone in the room to describe their perfect vision for a Star Wars game, you’re gonna get a lot of answers. Many would, I wager, basically describe Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: a lightsaber power fantasy with memorable characters, cool Force powers and satisfying Stormtrooper amputation.
My pitch would sound a lot closer to the game that Ubisoft announced at the Xbox Games Showcase, Star Wars Outlaws—a sandbox action game starring a Solo-like scoundrel-for-hire on the lawless planets of the Outer Rim. No, it’s not the Mandalorian game that I was quietly crossing my fingers for, but a completely new character instead: Kay Vess, a young outlaw getting her start in the criminal underworld.
