Star Wars Outlaws hands-on — A scoundrel’s life for me

Jedi are fun and all, but it sure is nice to have a new Star Wars game that isn’t about Force powers and lightsabers.

Star Wars Outlaws is a new game from Ubisoft that focuses on scoundrel Kay Vess, a Han Solo-type character who navigates the galaxy’s seedier elements with blaster in hand. Outlaws releases on August 30 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. I had a chance to play almost five hours of the open-world experience during a recent preview event.
