Fans have been wondering if Star Wars Outlaws is canon, as well as its exact place in the larger world of Star Wars lore.
Where Star Wars Outlaws fits in the timeline
Star Wars Outlaws was released just last week after years of anticipation. It's the first truly open-world game set in the Star Wars universe, and players take on the role of Kay Vess, a smuggler navigating the galaxy's dangerous criminal underworld.
There are tons of planets and locations to explore, and multiple factions to deal with as part of a large game mechanic. Some fans may wonder where Star Wars Outlaws fits into the franchise timeline and where it's canon, as it's not clear in the first few hours of the game.
Star Wars Outlaws is a canon story set between two major films in the original Star Wars trilogy, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
