Holy bantha poodoo! Let me tell you, playing Star Wars Outlaws after all those patches? It was like swapping a rusty landspeeder for a fresh-off-the-line X-wing! 🚀 Yeah, the launch was rougher than a Krayt dragon's backside – forced stealth sections that made me wanna pull my hair out, enemy AI dumber than a drunk Gungan, and technical glitches galore. But Ubisoft? They pulled a miracle outta their hat, folks! They fixed that hot mess, polished it up real nice, and now? Now the real magic shines brighter than a double sunset on Tatooine. And lemme tell ya, that magic is all about the world – worlds so authentic, so dripping with that grimy, lived-in Star Wars vibe, it knocked my socks off! It dives headfirst into the galaxy's seedy underbelly, the criminal underworld, something the big screens and holos rarely show properly. And while whispers say sales were 'softer than expected'? Pfft. Forget that noise! A sequel? It’s gotta happen! And I know exactly where it needs to be set: smack dab in the middle of the glorious chaos of the Mandalorian era! 🤯
Think about it! Remember Season 1 of The Mandalorian? That was basically a masterclass in post-Empire scum and villainy! Five years after ol' Palpy took a dive in Return of the Jedi, the galaxy ain't exactly a picnic. The New Republic? Bless their hearts, they're trying, bless 'em, but they're spread thinner than cheap synthbutter on ration bread. They ain't got the muscle, the credits, or the will to police the Outer Rim properly. Pirates? Smugglers? Bounty hunters? They're having a field day, living large while the bigwigs try to figure out who left the lights on in the Senate building! It’s the Wild West out there, baby, and it’s glorious.
-
Power Vacuum Party: The Empire's gone? That's like the biggest, baddest bouncer getting tossed out of the club! Everyone scrambles for turf.
-
Hutts? Still Kicking! The Book of Boba Fett showed us Bib Fortuna might be sitting on Jabba's old throne, but the Hutt Cartel ain't dead! They're adapting, surviving.
-
Pyke Syndicate Rising: Those sneaky Pykes? They saw an opportunity on Tatooine and grabbed it with both hands! Spice is flowing, credits are rolling in – they're building their own little empire in the dust.
This setting? It’s pure gold for an Outlaws sequel! It’s like the stars aligned, baby! Kay Vess, our scrappy protagonist from the first game? Six years older in this timeline? That’s perfect. She wouldn't just be older; she'd be wiser, tougher, a real player in the game. Imagine her navigating this fresh hellscape:
-
New Bosses, Same Game: The old syndicates are shifting, new ones are clawing their way up. Kay’s gotta learn the new rules… or make her own.
-
Familiar Faces Galore: The ending of Outlaws set up Vail taking a run at the top of the Bounty Hunters' Guild. Six years later? She’s probably running the whole damn show! That connection? It’s a backstage pass to the galaxy’s most dangerous freelancers!
| Potential Cameo | Why It Makes Sense | Connection Point |
|---|---|---|
| Cad Bane | Legendary hunter, always working | Vail's Guild connections |
| Fennec Shand | Elite assassin, knows the underworld | Guild work or independent contracts |
| Din Djarin (Mando) | The big kahuna himself! | High-profile Guild jobs or crossing paths |
| Greef Karga | Guild leader, organizer | Vail's peer/rival in Guild hierarchy |
This ain't just fan service, people! This is narrative gold. Kay bumping into these icons? Maybe working with 'em, maybe against 'em? Maybe just trying to avoid getting disintegrated by 'em? It writes itself! The tension, the alliances, the double-crosses – it’s the kind of underworld drama Star Wars was made for. The first game gave us a taste, but this sequel? This would be the full-course meal, with extra spice! 🌶️
Ubisoft nailed the feel of the criminal world in Outlaws. The grimy ports, the shady deals, the constant feeling of looking over your shoulder – it was legit. Plopping Kay, now a seasoned operator, into the absolute madhouse of the early New Republic era? Where the rulebook's been tossed out the airlock? That’s where the magic happens! It’s a setting bursting with potential stories, conflicts, and opportunities for Kay to truly become a legend… or end up spaced. The tech issues are fixed, the foundation is rock solid – now it’s time to hit the hyperdrive and take us to that lawless frontier we glimpsed in Mando! Don’t leave us hangin', Ubisoft! The galaxy's underworld is calling, and Kay Vess is the perfect pilot for this ride. Make it happen! Pretty please with a Mygeeto crystal on top? 🙏
