A new trailer for Ubisoft's upcoming open-world game, , has shown more of scoundrel Kay Vess' story, providing an insight into her motives and backstory, along with the many threats she will face on her journey. The new, action-packed footage showed Kay engaging in combat both on land and in space and featured the return of various iconic characters and creatures from the original trilogy.
Star Wars Outlaws is set between the events of and, and focuses on the Outer Rim's criminal underworld in a story that takes place away from the series' main conflict between the rebels and the Empire at this time.
One surprising change in the trailer — which can be seen on Ubisoft's YouTube channel — comes when Kay and her Axolotl companion, Nix, can be seen sliding toward a Sarlacc pit during a daring chase. With Jabba the Hutt being shown moments prior, and his guards pushing Kay about, it's likely that their negotiations weren't successful, and he sent her to die in the pit, much as he tried with Luke Skywalker in.

When the Sarlacc pit was first shown in 1983's, it appeared as a void of what appeared to be razor-sharp teeth, and it didn't make much sound or move much, acting almost like a venus fly trap waiting for unsuspecting Tatooine residents or other smaller creatures to fall into it when it wasn't being fed by Jabba. With the 1997 Special Editions, George Lucas chose to rework many of the original films' practical effects to employ more of Industrial Light & Magic's then state-of-the-art CGI that he'd begun using for the first prequel movie,, which was released in 1999. This led to the new version of the Sarlacc pit from 1997 onward having a beak in the middle, along with visible tentacles, and sound effects that made it sound more animal-like.
Arguably, the post-Special Edition version of the Sarlacc pit, while certainly more animated and alive, felt less intimidating than the classic. The idea of descending into a seemingly inescapable void with sharp teeth to prevent any escape, along with Jabba's description of being digested by the creature — helpfully translated by C-3PO —
