Star Wars Outlaws: Hidden Locations and Easter Eggs

Star Wars Outlaws is a game that invites players on an adventurous journey through a galaxy filled with hidden secrets, references, and nods to beloved Star Wars lore. Today, I’ll guide you through some of the most exciting hidden locations and Easter eggs scattered throughout the various planets in Star Wars Outlaws. Let’s get started!

Hidden Locations and Easter Eggs in Star Wars Outlaws

Tatooine Secrets

Lars Homestead

One of the most emotional and iconic locations from the original trilogy, the Lars Homestead (Luke Skywalker’s childhood home) can be found in the Great Chott Salt Flat region of Tatooine. When you visit, you’ll notice the aftermath of the Empire’s brutal attack, with burn marks and destruction. Here, you can overhear scavengers discussing the Empire’s cruelty, unaware of the real tragedy that happened to Luke’s aunt and uncle.

Inside the homestead, players can find a note referencing Luke’s T-16 Skyhopper toy, originally gifted to him by Obi-Wan Kenobi. This subtle nod ties beautifully to the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Additionally, there’s a hidden chest containing a gray scarf for Nix, possibly referencing Cliegg Lars from the prequels.

Mos Eisley Cantina: The Han vs. Greedo Booth

In Mos Eisley, players can revisit the iconic cantina from Star Wars: A New Hope. Inside, you’ll find the very booth where Han Solo famously shot Greedo. The booth even has a blaster scorch mark on the wall! Nearby NPCs amusingly warn each other about the bad luck associated with sitting there.

Docking Bay 94

The game allows you to land your ship, the Trailblazer, in Docking Bay 94—the same docking bay that housed the Millennium Falcon in A New Hope, a nostalgic touch for original trilogy fans.

Toshi Station

Luke Skywalker’s infamous line about wanting to visit Toshi Station finally finds closure. Players can explore Toshi Station themselves, discovering a datapad left by Cammy (from a deleted scene of A New Hope), addressed to her friend Laze. This is a subtle nod to hardcore Star Wars fans familiar with the original trilogy’s deleted scenes.

Crate Dragon Encounters

Venturing into Tatooine’s Dune Sea, you can encounter a live Crate Dragon. This beast will chase you down if you venture too close, making for some exciting gameplay moments reminiscent of The Mandalorian series. Additionally, nearby you can discover the bones of a smaller Crate Dragon, closely resembling the skeletal remains featured in A New Hope when C-3PO first lands on Tatooine.

Pod Racer Wreckage

In the Dune Sea, you can also stumble upon the wreckage of a crashed Pod Racer, possibly belonging to Sebulba from The Phantom Menace. Its large engines and unique cockpit design hint at its original owner.

Jabba’s Palace

Boba Fett Appearance

While sneaking through Jabba the Hutt’s palace during a mission, look carefully through the ventilation system and you’ll spot none other than Boba Fett himself. He’s silently standing guard, presumably on a bounty mission for Jabba. This is a fantastic cameo for fans of the legendary bounty hunter.

Han Solo in Carbonite

After completing Jabba’s mission and gaining excellent reputation with the Hutt Cartel, you can revisit Jabba’s Palace and view Han Solo frozen in carbonite. NPCs standing nearby discuss Han’s fate, referencing his rebellion ties and adding depth to the narrative.

Salacious B. Crumb

In Jabba’s audience chamber, you can spot the infamous Kowakian monkey-lizard Salacious B. Crumb, Jabba’s laughing sidekick from Return of the Jedi. He’s animated and actively observing your character, adding a lively touch to the scene.

High Roller Sabacc with Lando Calrissian

On the planet Akiva, players can trigger a questline that leads them to an exclusive high-stakes Sabacc game. Here you encounter the charming Lando Calrissian himself. He asks you to infiltrate Crimson Dawn’s Sabacc table on Kijimi to retrieve something valuable he lost. This quest is a delightful direct connection to both original trilogy characters and the Solo movie.

Clone Wars Connections

Battle Droid References

The planet Akiva, rich in Clone Wars history, features repurposed battle droid speeders and scattered Clone Wars-era vehicles like crashed LAAT gunships. This planet is a treasure trove for fans of the Clone Wars series, offering numerous subtle nods to that era.

Meeting the “Veteran” Commando Droid

Players can unlock a hidden expert named MT-7, an old BX-series commando droid still loyal to General Grievous. After completing his mission, you can decode transmissions originally intended for Grievous, deepening the lore connection to the Clone Wars.

Kijimi and Crimson Dawn

On the snowy planet Kijimi, you meet Qi’ra from Solo and learn more about Crimson Dawn. Notably, the game references “The Vermillion,” Crimson Dawn’s flagship from Star Wars comics, providing further integration between the films, comics, and this game.

Mention of Scarif and Other Planets

Throughout the game, several planets from other Star Wars media are mentioned, such as Scarif (Rogue One), Neimos (Andor), and Plexis (Andor). These references help situate the game within the broader Star Wars canon.

Hidden Droid Party on Arana

Early in the game, players can find a quirky Easter egg—hidden within a vent on the planet Arana, a group of maintenance droids are enjoying a secret droid party. It’s a humorous moment placed by developers for players who love exploring every corner.

ND-5: The “Hot Droid” Community Joke

The droid companion ND-5, with his trench coat and charismatic presence, became known among fans as the “hot droid” when the game was first announced. Developers humorously acknowledged this community nickname through an in-game datapad message, adding a lighthearted touch for fans.

Crimson Dawn’s Auction of Han Solo

In a small but significant reference, ND-5 mentions an auction by Crimson Dawn that went badly—referring to the infamous event from comics where Han Solo, encased in carbonite, was auctioned off to Jabba the Hutt aboard The Vermillion. This further enriches the game’s lore connections.

Conclusion

Star Wars Outlaws is bursting with hidden locations, Easter eggs, and subtle references that reward inquisitive fans. Each discovery, from exploring the Lars Homestead to spotting Boba Fett in Jabba’s Palace, adds depth and enjoyment to your gaming experience. This guide offers just a taste of the many secrets waiting to be uncovered. Keep exploring, and may the Force be with you, always!
