Fans are growing increasingly convinced that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: Outlaws is bringing back♉ arguably the franchise's most iconic gaming protagonist: ಌKyle Katarn.
In the for Outlaw𝔍s, the game's protagonist Kay Vess is approached by a man named Jaylen, who says "Give me a chance. You're going to have to trust me. It'll be dangerous. Risky. But if you pull this off, you'll never look over your shoulder again." Intercut with shots of Kay entering a massive vault, it se🙈ems clear that Jaylen is asking her to take part in a heist.

Clearly someone on the team at Ubisoft is a Kyle Katarn fan, too. I'm not sure I actually believe that this is Jaylen's true identity, but at this point I desperately want to believe.

Kyle Katarn was created for the 1995 FPS game Dark Forces, which spawned a long-running series that eventually saw the mercenary anti-hero become a Jedi. He became a major part of the core Star Wars canon in books, though all the material he's been in has been relegated to 'Legends' since Disney's buyout of the franchise. While numerous other figures from old Star Wars stories have been slow🦩ly reintroduced to modern canon over the years, Kyle is not among them.
That's not to say all elements of the Dark Forces series have been absent in modern canon, however. The Dark Troopers that appeared in Mandalorian season 2 are originally 🧜from Dark Forces, and the pistol the titular hero of Andor uses was wielded by Kyle throughout his game series.
