Star Wars Outlaws is not only in a world Ubisoft has never visited before, but it is also a Star Wars experience unlike any that has come before it. Set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Outlaws sees the Galactic Empire with its crosshairs on the Rebel Alliance, coincidentally resulting in a thriving criminal underworld. The story follows Kay Vess, an outlaw scoundrel whose only allies are a creature companion named Nix and a droid called ND-5, as she and her friends attempt one of the biggest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen. Although Star Wars Outlaws may be different from anything before it, however, its gritty tone and absence of Jedi and lightsabers are reminiscent of the now 10-year-old canceled Star Wars title Star Wars 1313.
