Massive Entertainment set out to build the “ultimate scoundrel fantasy” inStar Wars Outlaws, a new open-world adventure set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. You’ll explore the farthest reaches of the Outer Rim as Kay Vess, an outlaw looking to pull off the biggest heist the galaxy has ever seen. If it goes right, she’ll start a new life far from the reach of crime syndicates. And if it goes wrong? Well, the galaxy’s most wanted list isn’t where anybody wants to be.
