Navid Khavari: Last News

Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer Ubisoft and Lucasfilm’s open-world video game “Star Wars Outlaws” launched Friday, giving fans of the galaxy far, far away a chance to play as a new character, Kay Vess (voiced by “Tarot” and “Star Trek: Section 31” star Humberly González) in a story set in between the events of the original film trilogy’s “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi.” This new lead isn’t a Jedi or Sith, a rebel or an Imperial sympathizer — she’s a scoundrel trying to survive the crime-ridden “Star Wars” universe with little to no knowledge of the crime syndicates that rule and no one but a little sidekick companion named Nix to help her out. “It is such a fun timeline, and I know this from the creative team — Nikki Foy, the lead script writer, and Navid Khavari, who is our narrative director, when this opportunity came to them and they found out the timeline that they were going to be playing in was in the original trilogy between ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ and ‘Return of the Jedi,’ I think everybody was in shock,” González told Variety.
