The best decision Star Wars Outlaws made was getting as far away from the films as possible. Yes, the game does take place within the original trilogy timelinespecifically between episodes 4 and 5 however, there is nary a mention of the Force, Jedi, Sith, or even lightsaber. What ties the game does have to the films are natural and never presented as fanservice or an appeal to your nostalgia . While Outlaws does play it safe in terms of its main character and main plot, it is nonetheless refreshing to experience a side of this universe only teased in other media. And this setting isn't just a coat of paint on your run-of-the-mill Ubisoft open-world game, either. All the parts are there, but tweaked and contextualized just enough to fit the narrative that it doesn't feel like yet another massive RPG bloated with busy work.
