Summary
Star Wars Outlawsis set to divert from the latestStar Warsvideo game trope of Jedi and focus on the criminal underworld ofStar Wars.Star Wars Outlawswill feature the protagonist Kay Vess as she navigates the Outer Rim and attempts the biggest heist the Outer Rim has seen after a bounty is put on her head after one of her many cons went wrong.
With the antagonist Sliro sending bounty hunters after Kay Vess, this could be the prime opportunity to bring one fearsome character fromThe Clone WarsintoStar Wars Outlaws. The character in question is none other thanthe formidable bounty hunter Cad Bane, and there are many plausible reasons as to why and how he could appear inStar Wars Outlaws.
Out of all the bounty hunters that were introduced inThe Clone Wars,Star Wars' Cad Banemay well be the most fearsome and well-known. He has appeared in three episodes ofThe Bad Batchand made his live action debut inThe Book of Boba Fett(which is where viewers saw his demise). Although it could be argued that he doesn’t have the same reputation with fans ofStar Warsas Boba Fett does, he’s just as dangerous.
In one unfinished episode ofThe Clone Wars, it is shown that he had a stand-off withStar Wars' Boba Fettand gave him the dent in his helmet that is seen in The Original Trilogy.
Cad Bane isn’t afraid to do what needs to be done to complete an objective or capture his bounty. He also doesn’t seem to show much of a moral compass, as he’s more than willing to take on bounties that involve kidnapping children, as he’s shown doing inThe Clone WarsandThe Bad Batch.
ConsideringStar Wars Outlawstakes place during the Original Trilogy, andCad Bane met his demise inThe Book of Boba Fett(which takes place after the events of the Original Trilogy), it’s safe to say that he’s most certainly alive during the events ofStar Wars Outlaws. With Cad Bane still alive, it provides plenty of opportunities for Cad Bane to make an appearance in the game.
It would be fascinating and be a great cameo for fans of Cad Bane andThe Clone Warsif Cad Bane made an appearance inStar Wars Outlaws. A great scenario would be if Cad Bane went up against Kay Vess and there would be a small battle between the two of them. This scenario could work similarly to how Cal Kestis met Boba Fett inStar Wars Jedi: Survivor. Kay Vess could be doing a series of bounty hunts, and after the final hunt has been completed, Cad Bane could show up.
One of the manyconfirmed syndicates to appear inStar Wars Outlawsis the Pyke Syndicate, who have appeared throughoutStar Wars. InThe Book of Boba Fett, Cad Bane was hired by the Pyke Syndicate to take down Boba Fett. This proves that Cad Bane has connections with the Pike Syndicate and has most likely worked with them on many occasions.
If Kay Vess upsets the Pyke Syndicate, then that’s the perfect opportunity for Cad Bane to make his appearance. Since Cad Bane is a bounty hunter, it’s very well plausible that any of the confirmed Syndicates may send Cad Bane after Kay Vess. Whether Cade Bane appears inStar Wars Outlawsis still uncertain, but the game does have a great opportunity for Cad Bane to at least be mentioned in some way. Especially since the game has a focus on the criminal underworld ofStar Wars.
