1. A Deep Dive into the Star Wars Outlaws Ending
In Star Wars Outlaws, we experience the story of Protagonist Kay Vess, a skilled and fearless thief, and her trusted companion, Nix, a cunning merqaal, who navigate the underworld of Canto Bight, where Kay’s past and present collide.
The ending of Star Wars Outlaws sees Kay Vess and her crew make a daring move, taking down a Star Destroyer with the help of their syndicate allies. After a celebratory drink, they part ways, with a brief epilogue showing what’s next for each character. Kay returns to the Trailblazer, ready to embark on new adventures with her loyal companions, Nix and ND-5, the newly freed droid.
Here’s a quick recap and final wrap-up of the events that led to the conclusion of Star Wars Outlaws.
1. The Truth About Sliro
The final act of Star Wars Outlaws begins to unfold during the mission ‘The Truth,’ where Kay and Riko infiltrate an Imperial ship to obtain Sliro’s access codes. However, Kay stumbles upon a revealing conversation between Sliro and Vail, which takes a surprising turn when Darth Vader arrives.
This encounter exposes Sliro’s true identity as an ISB agent working undercover for the Empire, using the Zerek Besh crime syndicate as a front to identify and capture Rebel soldiers. The Empire has been secretly fueling Sliro’s operation with resources, manpower, and advanced technology, explaining the syndicate’s unusual capabilities and Asara’s captivity.
Nevertheless, Vader expresses dissatisfaction with Sliro’s performance, threatening consequences if Zerek Besh fails to deliver more results. This revelation has significant implications, particularly in light of the ISB’s role as the Empire’s secret intelligence agency and the true nature of the Zerek Besh and Sliro’s allegiance, setting the stage for the final confrontation.
2. The Devil is in the Details
The second major plot twist occurs after the successful heist when Kay and her team discover the true nature of their loot. Instead of Beskar, Riko finds a codex containing sensitive Imperial information, revealing Jaylen’s true intentions.
He planned to use the codex to overthrow Sliro, take control of the Zerek Besh, and then offer it to Darth Vader to prove his loyalty. Jaylen’s plan also involves capturing Asara and revealing the Rebel base’s location, further solidifying his position with the Empire.
Riko, revealed to be Jaylen’s accomplice, tries to convince Kay to accept the situation. Still, Kay refuses, leading to her being knocked out and taken to the Imperial star destroyer, The Revelator, along with Asara and the codex.
3. A Tale of Two Brothers
In a shocking turn of events, Kay discovers Jaylen’s relation to Sliro by sneaking into a meeting with Vader and Sliro. Jaylen reveals his desire for revenge against his brother, Sliro, who had their family slaughtered out of jealousy and a lust for power.
Born into a wealthy family that owned star destroyer factories, Jaylen was next in line to inherit the business, but Sliro’s betrayal led to their family’s downfall. Now, Jaylen seeks to overthrow Sliro and take control of the Zerek Besh, driven by ambition and vengeance.
This revelation transforms Jaylen into the final antagonist of Star Wars Outlaws, as he ultimately kills his brother with ND-5’s help, fulfilling his quest for revenge.
4. Ending with a Big Bang
Kay discovers the Empire has located the Rebel Allies, so she rallies her crew and calls in a favor from her syndicate allies to launch a daring counterattack. As the Rebels escape, Kay expertly disables the Star Destroyer’s defenses, culminating in a catastrophic reactor explosion.
In the heist’s aftermath, the crew returns to Bram’s bar in Canto Bight, where their journey began. A brief epilogue provides a glimpse into the future of each crew member, wrapping up their stories and giving us a sense of closure.
- Ank and Gedeek solidify their partnership with Kay, bonding over their shared love of explosives.
- Asara makes a final attempt to recruit Kay to the Rebel cause, but she declines, and he returns to Akiva.
- Bram shares a heartfelt moment with Kay, reaffirming his support and offering her a place to call home.
- Vail, redeemed by her last-minute help, receives the codex from Kay and sets out to establish her syndicate, inviting Kay to join her.
- Kay declines, continuing her journey with Nix and ND-5, now a free droid.
As her allies disperse, Kay Vess and ND-5 remain the core of the Trailblazer crew, ready for their next adventure.
5. Like Mother, Like Daughter
The mid-credit scene provides a poignant conclusion to Kay’s story as she confronts her mother, Riko, in an Imperial cell. Betrayed by Jaylen’s marked credits, Riko is surprised by Kay’s unexpected visit, disguised as an Imperial officer.
Their tense conversation reveals a deeper understanding as Kay discovers the poker chip Riko gave her was a tracking device, showing her mother’s hidden concern. Kay repays this loyalty by swapping the chip with a lock-pick, allowing Riko to escape. This bittersweet reunion hints at a complex, evolving relationship between the two.
Kay’s journey is far from over, with two upcoming story expansions in the works, featuring collaborations with Lando Calrissian and Hondo Ohnaka, set to release in Fall 2024 and Spring 2025.
