Star Wars Outlaws Gets a Vintage Makeover in Stunning Custom Dioramas by Cunefigures

When Star Wars Outlaws was first revealed, it instantly captivated the galaxy with its blend of scoundrel swagger, Outer Rim grit, and story-driven adventure. But one creator took things a step further—reimagining that cinematic world in 3.75″ scale using custom Vintage Collection action figures. The result? A series of miniature dioramas so detailed, they feel like concept art from Lucasfilm itself.

Instagram customizer @cunefigures has pulled off something truly impressive: a full tribute to Star Wars Outlaws using handcrafted characters, kitbashed accessories, and bespoke backgrounds. Let’s take a closer look at their latest scenes, which are making waves across the Star Wars collector and toy photography communities.

1. A Shot-for-Shot Tribute to the Cover Art

It doesn’t get more iconic than the key art for Star Wars Outlaws, with Kay Vess and her droid companion ND-5 striding toward the horizon with a stolen ship behind them and a job half-finished. Cunefigures recreated this frame exactly—but with Vintage Collection customs.

Kay’s custom sculpt, pose, and layered outfit capture her rugged, independent spirit perfectly. ND-5, with his large blaster over one shoulder, looks just as battle-worn and oddly stylish as in the official artwork. From the rocky terrain to the tiny table props to that signature red planet in the background, everything is crafted with extraordinary attention to detail.

2. Speeder Restricted Area

Next up is a scene titled “Speeder Restricted Area,” a gritty street-level moment that looks like it belongs in Mos Eisley or maybe a dusty outpost on Toshara. Kay Vess stands defiant, blaster ready and unimpressed, facing down a Stormtrooper clearly enforcing some outdated local ordinance.

In the background, a Rodian and several other aliens look on, while ND-5 lurks nearby, no doubt calculating how many seconds it would take to end this confrontation. Crates, structures, and subtle lighting complete the vibe. It’s a beautifully composed slice of Star Wars life, full of tension and storytelling.

3. The Outer Rim Territories

Titled “The Outer Rim Territories,” this image dials things down with cinematic calm. Kay leans casually on her speeder bike, framed by a scratched-up garage bay with an Aurebesh sign overhead. The lighting is noir-like—cool blues and shadowed edges give the scene depth and mystery.

ND-5 can be spotted tucked behind her as always, while props and crates lend realism and a sense of lived-in Star Wars aesthetic. It’s one of those rare quiet moments before the next job begins, and it looks like it belongs on a Star Wars Outlaws loading screen.

4. Let’s Give Those Little Feet a Rest

Closing out the showcase is the dynamic, action-heavy piece titled “Let’s Give Those Little Feet a Rest.” Kay is captured mid-hover on her speeder bike, which has been custom-built to look like it was yanked right off the streets of Toshara. ND-5 clings behind her, while dust and mist swirl beneath the speeder’s engine.

The motion blur and lighting effects in this photo are phenomenal. You can almost hear the hum of the bike, the wind over the plains, and Kay muttering something sarcastic under her breath. It’s pure Star Wars, with a grounded, space-western energy that matches the tone of the upcoming game.

5. All the Scum and Villainy You Could Ask For

Every outlaw needs allies—and a few enemies they haven’t double-crossed yet. In this incredible diorama, Cunefigures assembles a full cast of rogues, underworld elites, and sketchy dealmakers, with Kay Vess and ND-5 front and center like they’re about to kick off the next big score.

Behind them? A Jabba-like Hutt figure looms large on the left. There’s a bounty hunter in a dark cloak, an alien dignitary, and a mysterious masked figure with unmistakable “don’t-trust-this-guy” energy. The lighting is rich with underworld ambiance—orange glow from a futuristic heater, shadows cast across weathered armor, and a classic Star Wars cantina vibe pulsing through the scene.

At Kay’s feet, her adorable alien sidekick looks ready for anything—blissfully unaware of just how complicated this deal is about to get.

6. Trouble? Kay’s Already Ahead of It

It wouldn’t be Star Wars without a daring escape or an unexpected firefight—and this scene delivers both with explosive precision. Kay Vess is seen taking cover behind some heavy crates, blaster ready, as chaos erupts behind her. Stormtroopers are flying mid-air from what appears to be a very inconveniently timed explosion.

The detail is impeccable: smoke, lighting, and motion blur create a true sense of cinematic action. ND-5 is absent from this one, which probably means he’s either causing the explosion or already halfway to the next rendezvous point. Meanwhile, Kay and her tiny alien companion are cool as ever, watching things unfold with strategic detachment.

7. Sneak Mode Activated

This scene feels like it’s straight out of a stealth mission in Star Wars Outlaws. Kay Vess kneels behind a stack of brightly marked cargo crates, blaster drawn, eyes locked on two unsuspecting Stormtroopers guarding a heavy blast door.

The staging is excellent—tension hangs in the air, with the crate lighting casting subtle shadows across the floor. Her alien companion, crouched beside her like a galactic guard dog, adds a hint of comic relief to an otherwise high-stakes situation. Meanwhile, the background reveals hints of a base or spaceport, with structural details and antenna arrays.

It’s a quiet moment—but you know what’s coming next is going to be loud.

Why This Work Matters

Cunefigures’ work doesn’t just show off technical modeling and painting skill—it captures the tone of Star Wars Outlaws perfectly. Each scene has a cinematic flair, grounded realism, and sharp storytelling. These dioramas are more than figure setups—they’re fan-built love letters to the galaxy’s next great scoundrel saga.

Custom creators like Cunefigures are a vital part of the Star Wars community, breathing new life into beloved characters and new ones alike. Whether you’re a collector, toy photographer, or just someone who appreciates world-building at every scale, this project is worth bookmarking.

And with Star Wars Outlaws set to launch later this year, it’s inspiring to see the passion already driving creators to explore that world—even before the game is in our hands.
