Ubisoft’s highly anticipated single-player game, “Star Wars Outlaws,” is set to take players on an interstellar journey across meticulously handcrafted planets. The game’s Creative Director, Julian Gerighty, recently shared some exciting details about the game’s expansive universe in the latest issue of EDGE magazine.

Rick the Door Technician: The Unexpected Fan Favorite of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
In the universe of “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor,” developed by Respawn Entertainment, there is an unexpected fan favorite character that stands out amidst the epic lightsaber battles and grand narratives.
