Star Wars Outlaws has a ton of weight on its shoulders as it hoists the mantle of Star Wars first-ever open-world game. Unlike Respawns Star Wars Jedi series, which is connected to a pivotal event in canon but takes place largely in its own niche between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, Star Wars Outlaws is set shortly after The Empire Strikes Back and bears the full forcepun intendedof all the world-building and established lore in the galaxy at that point. This is especially true of how Massive and Ubisoft wouldve needed to approach their treatment of planets in Outlaws specifically.
