Star Wars is for kids. At least, that’s the excuse that gets rolled out whenever one raises an issue with poor plotting, fart jokes, or pat moral lessons. But Star Wars also takes place in a universe with dark implications, like a fascistic Empire that turns a blind eye to crime lords who trade in sentient slaves and illicit drugs. Star Wars has long shied away from letting its seedy criminal underworld simply be unapologetically seedy, but by setting itself in the midst of it, Star Wars Outlaws may just be the scumbag simulator we’ve been waiting for.While it would be easy to lay this problem at the feet of the kid-friendly Disney corporation, the Star Wars franchise’s unease with portraying criminals actually began much earlier, with franchise creator George Lucas. Lucas himself authored…

And now it seems like it may never, at least not with Phillips directing.”If there’s a great script and a story to tell, I’d love to jump into it.
