Good Morning Youtinians.  Last week, we got an update regarding Lego for Star Wars. We asked if you collect Legos, and 68% of you said it's one of your hobbies. We at Youtini are also big fans and are excited for the future sets.

Daisy Ridley On Her Return to Star Wars

Last week, Daisy Ridley spoke to Premiere about her thoughts on returning to her role as Rey after about five years since The Rise of Skywalker’s release in theaters.

The Basics: Questions from Premiere mostly centered around Ridley’s thoughts on the Rey-centered movie itself, which is currently titled New Jedi Order and set about fifteen years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker.

Her thoughts on the script were very clear as she stated: “My thinking on the subject is very simple; if I didn’t think the story was worth telling, I wouldn’t have come back.”

New Jedi Order: Though Lucasfilm currently has the movie on hold, it seems like Daisy Ridley is extremely excited to take on the role again, especially as she is a much more experienced actor at 32 than she was at 21 when The Force Awakens hit theaters.

As far as the in-universe timeline goes, however, we don’t really know much about the post-First Order galaxy far, far away. In fact, with ten years of Star Wars Canon now behind us, we don’t have any novels or comics set after Episode IX, so New Jedi Order is essentially working from a completely clean slate.

We're all fine here now — how are you? We’re feeling pretty hyped for a post-First Order movie, and we are sure some great books and comics will also tie into this new era! What era would you choose if you could pick the setting for the next Star Wars movie?

Star Wars: Outlaws DLC Roadmap Revealed

Since that awesome moment on August 27, 2024, we at Youtini have been reveling in the release of Star Wars: Outlaws from Massive Entertainment, Lucasfilm Games, and Ubisoft. We've been loving the world of our new favorite scoundrel, Kay Vess, and her trusty sidekick, Nix.

As the price adjusts, more of us are buying into the game and feel blessed for the patches and improvements Ubisoft is providing. We are also very excited by the announcement of more DLCs!

A Quick Reminder: DLC is ‘Downloadable Content,’ which comes out after a game's initial release or launch. The beauty is that DLC can give us even more awesome moments and allow us to delve deeper into characters, missions, worlds, and plots.

The Season Pass DLCs: We can enjoy the ‘Exclusive Mission’ from Jabba the Hutt himself and the ‘Character Pack’ delivered with the game's launch. Now comes news of a post-launch roadmap, announcing that more is available for Season Pass holders with the addition of two new story packs, ‘Wild Card’ and 'A Pirate's Fortune,’ new ‘Contract Missions,’ and two cosmetic bundles, ‘Hunter’s Legacy’ and ‘Cartel Ronin.’

The Wild Card DLC (November 21, 2024): Ubisoft announced via X an exciting new DLC pack available in late Fall (Spring in the Southern Hemisphere). According to the announcement, "Kay and Nix infiltrate a high-stakes Sabacc tournament where they will face off against the legendary Lando Calrissian.”

Lando has been an Expert in the base game so far, so this extension will allow us to see more of him and hopefully provide greater context for the character between his betrayal of Han Solo and the rescue mission on Tatooine.

New Contract Missions: If you are not a Season Pass holder, do not fret. Ubisoft also revealed that new contracts will be available to complete with the ‘Wild Card’ DLC. These will allow you to improve your reputation and gather more intel for the syndicates.

Hunter’s Legacy and Cartel Ronin: With the release of the first story pack, Season Pass holders will also gain access to two new bundles that will give the game new outfits for Kay and Nix. You can also get new cosmetic upgrades to Kay’s speeder and the Trailblazer.

The Pirate DLC (Spring 2025): Ubisoft has confirmed initial plotlines that will introduce the infamous pirate Hondo Ohnaka (from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels) as Kay and the Trailblazer’s reputations grow. The devious Weequay will be hell-bent on revenge!

We’re all fine here now - how are you? Continue to follow Youtini for up-to-date coverage of Star Wars Outlaws and other Star Wars games. Are you planning on playing the post-launch content?
