Star Wars Outlaws takes place between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, with players taking control of an of outlaw scoundrel Kay Vess (portrayed by Humberly González) and her companion Nix (portrayed by Dee Bradley Baker). The games premise is to “attempt one of the biggest heists the Outer Rim has ever seen”.
