Star Wars Outlaws has a surprising connection to Solo

Emilia Clarke as Qi'ra in Solo: A Star Wars Story promo material.

Star Wars Outlaws may feature a brand new smuggler character named Kay Vess, but it will include plenty of returning characters from the Star Wars movies as well. Lando Calrissian and a carbonite-frozen Han Solo have both appeared in the game's trailers, while characters like Jabba the Hutt and Qi'ra return as leaders of some of the criminal underworld Syndicates that players must work with. Lead writer Nikki Foy told Digital Trends at a Star Wars Outlaws preview event that bringing characters like Qi'ra back was taken very seriously.

"It's a huge responsibility. I think these are characters that belong to so many people. They're beloved by them as they've grown up with them. Our whole team takes it very seriously when writing for these characters," Foy tells Digital Trends.
