‘Star Wars Outlaws’ Video Game Star Humberly González on Being the First Latina Lead in Franchise History and Hopes for a TV Adaptation
Ubisoft and Lucasfilm's open-world video game "Star Wars Outlaws" launched Friday, giving fans a chance to play as new character Kay Vess.
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. This fact is a huge point of pride for González, who was born in Venezuela, who says she has met Latinx fans at preview events who have tears in their eyes over seeing themselves portrayed in “Outlaws.” “I think it would be incredible to see Kay Vess in live action, because one thing that we don’t see in animation is those micro expressions of a real human being on screen,” González said.
