The ten-minute gameplay footage and trailer of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars Outlaws at the 2023 Ubisoft Forward gave more than enough ev⛄idence to suggest which characters from the Star Wars canon can appear in the adventure. As the game is set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the ꦗJedi, new characters Kay Vess and companion ND-5 can see limitless options of established characters and some surprises.
Although original trilogy characters Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, Wedge Antilles, Chewbacca, and even Luke Skywalker are more than likely to appear, it would be nice to see other characters we haven't seen before during this era and possibly expand some of their backstories.
10 🔜 ꧂ Imperial Migs Mayfeld
Appearing in The Mandalorian's debut season, Migs Mayfeld is a hired gun with a backstory that can tie right into the period in which Outlaws is set. At first, he's an untrustworthy mercenary who betrays Mando on a mission to free a prisoner, getting him sentenced to a labor facility at the Karthon Chop Fields for his involvement. But he later becomes a redeemable recurring ally.
Before his morally gray mercenary days in 9ABY, he was an Imperial sharp-shooter under the command of General Valin Hess, where they both played a role in the destruction of planet Burnin Konn as decreed by the Emperor's Operation: Cinder. That was just after the Emperor's defeat, so what are the chances Bill Burr's character has a brush with Kay Vess as a sharp-shooter boss?
9 Cobb Vanth ಌ
Cobb Vanth is not yet the marshal of Mos Pelgo clad in Boba Fett's armor, but it's still possible to find him on Tatooine during the timeline between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Chuck Wending's The Aftermath book trilogy introduced Cobb Vanth as a former slave-turned-marshal who later recaptures Mos Pelgo from the Red Key Raiders. And The Mandalorian explores his exploits with the titular character a few years into the job.
Tatooine is a confirmed location from the trailer and gameplay reveal, and Cobb Vanth's backstory worked into a questline during Star Wars Outlaws would be a terrific way for him and Kay Vess to cross paths. Kay would seem the type to have some hand in his eventual freedom from slavery or to help him liberate other slaves on Tatooine and disrupt the egregious practice.
8 Maz Kana🧸ta
Even though Maz Kanata was first introduced in The Force Awakens, she's been alive for a very long time before the formation of the First Order and active during the period of the Galactic Civil War. In fact, the animated Star Wars Forces of Destiny series reveals Maz helps Leia with acquiring the Ubese bounty hunter Boushh's suit to free Han from the Carbonite.
Maz's reputation anoints her with the title 'pirate queen,' as her castle on the planet Takodana has harbored the galaxy's pirates and smugglers. Even if the storyline of freeing Han isn't incorporated, Maz's castle would be a great location to be available for fast travel or to serve as a hub for taking on quests, fitting the game's outlaw theme.
7 Peli M🅷otto
Kay Vess' ship will be a big part of the open-world galaxy traversal in Star Wars Outlaws, allowing you to jump to different planets and star systems and vital for winning dogfights. Your ship will most likely need repairs and upgrades, so who better to trust for the job than Peli Motto and her droids when you're on Tatooine?
Peli Motto operates out of Hangar 3-5 in Mos Eisley, a spaceport where the Millennium Falcon was once docked and where she gives the Mandalorian a new custom N-1 starfighter. She's a sarcastic character fond of Grogu and adorable droids 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:like her BD unit and brings a ton of quirkiness and awkward humor. It would be a welcome treat for her to interact with characters ND-🉐5 and Kay Vess.
6 Fennec Shand ღ
At the height of her bounty hunter career during this point is Fennec Shand, a new female character introduced in The Mandalorian who then returns in The Bad Batch and The Book of Boba Fett. In The Bad Batch, her target was Omega, and in The Book of Boba Fett, she helps Boba Fett seize control of the Hutt Cartel's territory, but here she may be working with the Hutts or another crime syndicate.
In The Mandalorian, she's on the run with a bounty on her that Din Djarin seeks to fulfill, but it would be a thrill to see Fennec and Kay Vess either as possible allies throughout the game or going head-to-head in a gunfight.
5 Cad Bane
The Pyke Syndicate is shown to play a big part in Outlaws' criminal underworld storytelling, so maybe this opens the door for one of the most ruthless and fan-favorite bounty hunters in the galaxy to make a video game appearance. The Book of Boba Fett showed that the Pykes have a history with hatted blue bounty hunter Cad Bane and there are a lot of gaps between the live-action show and The Bad Batch.
Perhaps this game can help fill in some of the blanks about where Cad Bane has been all this time during the turning point of the Galactic Civil War. And if he's contracted with the Pykes five years from now in 9ABY, he must be acquainted with them already.
4 Qi'ra And The Crimson Dawn
Qi'ra is the former flame of Han Solo, tied to not only his origin story but his fate in this exact period between 3ABY and 4ABY. Her character was a major part of the prequel film Solo: A Star Wars Story, where it was revealed she's a member of the Crimson Dawn, one of the five crime syndicates led by Darth Maul at the time.
Now, Qi'ra operates as the leader of the Crimson Dawn with a canon comic storyline that can play into this game. She's responsible for stealing Han in Carbonite from Boba Fett to auction him off to Jabba the Hutt, later revealing his location to Princess Leia and Lando Calrissian. The Pyke Syndicate and the Hutt Cartel are confirmed for Star Wars Outlaws (probably along with associates like Bib Fortuna and Boba Fett), so surely there's room for the Crimson Dawn.
3 Krrsantan
A formidable Wookiee besides Chewbacca who would make a perfect addition as a character in Star Wars Outlaws is Krrsantan. Krrsantan is a🅰 skilled fighter, former gladiator, and now bounty hunter during the original trilogy. He was first in the comic books teamed up with thief archeologist Doctor Aphra and made a live-action debut working for the Hutt Twins in The Book of Boba Fett before aiding Boba Fett against the Pykes.
Could this be another bounty hunter Kay Vess will have on her tail as she's wanted throughout the galaxy? It wouldn't be so farfetched of an idea since Krrsantan is known to serve Jabba the Hutt and Darth Vader, and it may mean that Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra is not too far away looking for a score.
2 ISB Officer Gideon ▨
The main antagonist of The Mandalorian was💫 revealed to be Moff Gideon, yet another compelling villain brought to life by immensely talented actor Giancarlo Esposito. Although more traditional villains like Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, or even the Emperor himself are more likely to appear in the narrative, showing Gideon in his past role in the ISB targeting Kay and her squad would be amazing.
At this time, he may be too preoccupied with the heinous Purge of Mandalore, but the ISB goes pretty heavy after those who steal from the Empire, as Andor has shown. And Giancarlo Esposito has already starred in Ubisoft's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Far Cry 6 as main antagonist Antón Castillo, so maybe he'll return once more in another Ubisoft title as Gideon 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:before his Moff status.
1 🀅 Prince Xizor And ♍The Black Sun
If you have the Hutts, the Pykes, and the Crimson Dawn, Black Sun is another prominent crime syndicate in the Star Wars universe who should receive some attention in Outlaws. The current leader of Black Sun would be the Falleen Prince Xizor, a Legends character 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:💖now creeping in🌱to the canon like Admiral Thrawn.
Making a canon entrance in a new Star Wars game would be quite a spectacle. There's already a hint at a future appearance from the Crimson Reign comics set between 3ABY and 4ABY, where Qi'ra says Prince Xizor's name in conversation with a Black Sun member.
