The galaxy just got grittier—and a whole lot more intriguing. Revealed during San Diego Comic-Con 2025, Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon is the next big narrative piece to drop in the expanding Outlaws corner of the canon. Set before the events of the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws video game, this new novel by Mike Chen gives us the backstory we didn’t know we needed about two of the galaxy’s shadiest operators: ND-5 and Jaylen Vrax. If you’re into morally grey droids, tortured freedom fighters, and the occasional laser-blast-to-the-face, this one’s for you. And yes—you can already preorder it here. Meet the Outlaws: ND-5 and Jaylen Vrax We’ve seen glimpses of ND-5 in game trailers—a towering, trench coat-wearing droid with the vibe of a bounty hunter, the ethics of a sabacc cheat, and the dry wit of someone who’s been rebooted one too many times.

Book Review: Aftermath by Chuck Wendig – A Bold New Chapter in the Star Wars Universe
The Death Star is dust. Palpatine took a fatal tumble. Vader’s gone full tragic redemption story. And still, things are far from okay. Chuck Wendig’s Aftermath lands us right in the middle of the fallout, the political scramble, and the emotional wreckage of a galaxy that’s seen too many battles and not enough healing.
