Fans of Star Wars literature can now get an early taste of what’s to come from the soon-to-be-released novel Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon — complete with an exclusive audio excerpt featuring main characters Jaylen Vrax and ND-5.
An audiobook snippet has been made available ahead of the official launch, giving readers a unique first look at this Star Wars Outlaws prequel and its gritty, character-driven narrative.
What the Audio Excerpt Reveals
The exclusive audio preview, narrated by Eric Johnson and Jay Rincon, focuses on pivotal early moments in the story. It introduces Jaylen Vrax — a former heir stripped of wealth and status — alongside the reprogrammed battle droid ND-5, whose loyalty and sense of purpose have become central to their survival.
In the excerpt, we hear how Jaylen is forced into a new life after tragedy strikes his family, and how the unlikely partnership with ND-5 becomes both a lifeline and a burden as they navigate the criminal underworld.
The tone is tense and introspective, leaning into the themes of identity, loyalty, and survival that have become hallmarks of Star Wars storytelling beyond the core Skywalker saga.
