In the gameplay overview trailer for Outlaws, we see Kay fire up a big blaster with a shield and fire at a Stormtrooper hover carrier in the desert. But folks, this is Star Wars, so you know that random thing probably has a weird and deep history. And it does.

This is actually a design inspired by an old Kenner-produced Star Wars toy from the 1970s. For Star Wars: Rebels, the toy was updated and re-released and officially became a part of Star Wars canon in the process. And now it’s in one of the biggest video games of 2024. We live in a weird world.
Star Wars Outlaws is out on August 30, 2024, on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
