As with anyStar Warsmedia,Outlawsis filled with small details and references to the wider franchise that fans will absolutely love. These kinds of references make the universe feel incredibly connected. Because it’s still early days for therelease ofStar Wars Outlaws, there are likely a ton of Easter eggs and references that are still yet to be discovered, and gamers will probably be finding them for a little while yet.
Redditor forestfee has noticed that when visiting Mos Eisley Cantina inStar Wars Outlaws, players can see the blaster mark on the wall where Greedo misses Han Solo inA New Hope. This definitely confirms the version where Han shoots first as non-canon - a long-standing debate in theStar Warsfandom. GivenStar Wars Outlaws' place on the timelinebetweenEmpire Strikes BackandReturn of the Jedi, it makes sense that this would be here, but it’s still cool to see it acknowledged by developer Massive Entertainment.
Star Wars Outlaws Features A New Hope Greedo Easter Egg
The variouslocales inStar Wars Outlawstake players back to Mos Eisley, an essential location in the franchise. In a game that explores the grittier side of theStar Warsuniverse, it’s no surprise to see the “wretched hive of scum and villainy” show up again. According to forestfee, there are a few interesting Easter eggs in the Mos Eisley Cantina, including an overheard conversation that mentions the seat where Greedo died is “cursed.” Undoubtedly, there are even more small references like this hidden around Tattooine for players to discover.
The initial reactions toStar Wars Outlawshave been mixed. Some feel it strays a little too close to the traditional “Ubisoft formula,” although others feel it does enough as an ambitiousStar Warsgame to stand out from the crowd. It will be interesting to see how muchpost-launch support there is forStar Wars Outlaws, and it could depend on the game’s performance. There are a lot of interesting ideas inStar Wars Outlaws, and hopefully Massive Entertainment is able to support the game long enough for it to reach its full potential.
