As August 30 approaches, excitement is mounting high for the arrival of Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws. Promising a fresh open-world experience, the game takes us on a journey between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of Jedi, right into the heart of the Star Wars universe. We’ve already seen a glimpse of some official character appearances in the trailers, but here are five legacy characters we believe should make the game even more exciting.
1. Fun Meets Tension: Migs Mayfeld in the Spotlight
First on our list is Migs Mayfeld, the ex-Imperial sharpshooter introduced in The Mandalorian. Mayfeld’s morally gray nature and intriguing backstory could take the game to a whole new level. His character could bring additional dimensions as a potential friend or foe, considering the period of the game is when he is still dealing with his post-Imperial life.
2. A Tough Opponent: Cad Bane’s Possible Role
Fans have longed to see more of the ruthless Cad Bane, a notoriously feared Duros bounty hunter. Known for his exceptional combat skills, Bane could serve as a formidable boss or antagonist. His character fits perfectly given the game’s focus on the criminal underworld. This could open the door for player alliances, depending on the circumstances faced in the game.
3. Adding Charm: Peli Motto for Light-hearted Moments
Adding a dash of humor to the gameplay would be Peli Motto, the adorable mechanic from The Mandalorian. With her quirky personality and pool of droids ready for ship upgrades, Peli could provide Kay Vess with essential repair services on their interstellar adventures. A visit to her garage at Mos Eisley Hangar 3-5 can make for delightful cinematic moments.
4. Seeking Guidance: Maz Kanata, the Wise Milieu
An ancient and wise pirate queen, Maz Kanata provides deep insights into the Force, making her an invaluable character. Her castle on Takodana could act as an indispensable hub for our hero, Kay Vess, offering resources, key information, and crucial criminal connections.
5. Galaxies’ Most Wanted: Boba Fett’s Acclaimed Arrival
No Star Wars game would be complete without the galaxy’s most infamous bounty hunter, Boba Fett. His ties to the criminal world along with a knack for risky jobs align well with the game’s outlaw theme. Players are eagerly anticipating a storyline featuring Boba, especially as his association with Jabba the Hutt already has been revealed.
Star Wars Outlaws stands at the threshold of following the successful paths of Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi Survivors. Despite Ubisoft’s recent unfavorable standing with fans, Outlaws has the opportunity to reestablish faith. Though the decision to lock a quest behind preorders has raised eyebrows, the potential for this title is immense.
Nevertheless, fans are eagerly waiting to dive into this new adventure. The appearance of familiar faces will surely add to the excitement and fun. Now, the question remains – which character are you most excited to see in Star Wars Outlaws? Feel free to share your thoughts – the Star Wars universe awaits your exploration.
