Companions and sidekicks have always been a core part of the Star Wars experience, from R2-D2 and C-3PO in the original trilogy to K-2SO in Rogue One and BD-1 in Respawn's Star Wars Jedi series. These companion characters often provide some much-needed comic relief, and offer up some useful services that the main protagonist requires on their journey. Companions have become an important tradition for Star Wars, and it's a tradition that Star Wars Outlaws' developers are embracing fully.
