No, That Wasn't Captain Phasma in Star Wars Outlaws
Star Wars canon's one significant Stormtrooper character with appropriate chrome armor was Captain Phasma of the First Order. As stated in the canon book Star Wars: Phasma by Delilah S. Dawson, Phasma built her armor in 25 ABY, decades after The Empire Strikes Back, which occurred in the year 3 ABY on the Star Wars chronology. Phasma created her armor by polishing chromium salvaged from an old Imperial yacht on Naboo using the material to shield her from blaster fire and radiation and as a symbol of past power when combining it with a First Order armorweave cape to represent the newer First Order.
Everything in the newer canon materials so far suggests that the metallic-looking stormtrooper in Star Wars Outlaws could not be Phasma, from the timeline placement to the fact that she would be much older than she was in the sequel trilogy. Star Wars Outlaws is visiting some locations from the sequel trilogy, such The Rise of Skywalker's Kijimi, and its new Ashiga Clan is part of the Militto species first appeared in The Force Awakening with the introduction of the character Sarco Plank.
Wait, does the New Star Wars Outlaws Trailer feature Captain Phasma?
Ubisoft recently displayed more Star Wars Outlaws footage, depicting some of the scenarios Kay Vess will be negotiating as she engages with different criminal syndicates in an effort to establish her name and guarantee her release. The future open-world title will take place between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, with Kay interacting with characters such Jabba the Hutt as part of her dealings with the criminal underworld, and Lando Calrissian, who was seen momentarily in a trailer at Summer Game Fest 2024.
Referring to the reputation mechanism of the game, which has Kay cultivating either a good or poor relationship with various factions by ominously declaring, "Beware of who you cross," the latest teaser unveiled at the Ubisoft Forward event highlighted Along with this narrative came a picture of an Imperial trooper with shinier metallic armor, instead of their regular white one, observing Kay from a distance.
Other Star Wars Trailers Featuring the Death Trooper
The sort of trooper in issue is a Death Trooper, maybe the same one seen in the earlier Star Wars Outlaws narrative teaser. Their armor's form matches; one particular shoulder piece juts out at an angle. While the earlier Death Trooper shots were taken at night and gave the armor a richer shade of glossy black, the new film was taken in daylight, which made the armor seem somewhat more gray and metallic by comparison in this one particular shot. Other gameplay scenes show Kay using a stealth takedown on a Death Trooper in daylight where their armor looks significantly darker - matching their appearance in various daytime sequences in Rogue One - with the Death Warrior referred to particularly in Ubisoft's breakdown.
But the real question this raises is just what relevance this specific Death Trooper seems to have to Kay Vess. Though it could be written off as a portrayal of the more elite troops of the Empire hunting Kay - perhaps tying in the Grand Theft Auto-esque Wanted system, where different types of Imperial units will start to chase Kay as her Wanted level increases - the narration in the new Ubisoft Forward footage hints that there may be more of a story involving Kay and this specific trooper, maybe involving some kind of betrayal.
Every bit the Rogue Fantasy It promises at first glance, Star Wars Outlaws features a cheeky protagonist and lots of promise underneath.
Star Wars Outlaws is an open-world action-adventure game set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi where players leap into the scoundrel boots of Kay Vess, a lady searching the galaxy for a better life. Kay will negotiate the several landscapes, towns, and planets around the galaxy, outwitting both Crime Syndicates and the Empire along with her animal friend Nix and new allies she encounters along the way.
Combining Star Wars world elements with an interesting narrative about an improbable guy, Star Wars Outlaws seems to be an enjoyable game. Should the game meet expectations, it may be a fantastic new addition to the series.
With a new teaser showing a better view of its location and characters, Ubisoft revealed the date of release for their forthcoming Star Wars Outlaws game.
