Star Wars Outlaws has red and black barrels that contain Rhydonium and explode upon shooting. The Rhydonium was first seen in Star Wars universe in the Season 5 of The Clone Wars show and has also been in The Bad Batch and the Rebels.
It was also used by R2-D2 in Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Season 5, Episode 13, Point of No Return, to destroy a Venator-class Star Destroyer. It is clear that Massive Entertainment wanted to pay homage to that incident and bring the memory back to the fans.
8. Reference to R2-D2 and C-3PO
Kay needs to get some materials and items that will help her in the long run and the best place to get them is the areas controlled by the syndicate.

Datacards are collectibles in Star Wars Outlaws and have entertainment content. These can be found all over the planets and this is a reference to the Datacard that Leia inserted into R2-D2 in the original Star Wars.

2. Hutt Cartel
The Hutt Cartel is one of the most popular criminal syndicates in Star Wars Outlaws and has been a part of the universe since the original trilogy. The lore for the Hutt Cartel in the game is mentioned as “recent developments have led to Jabba … becoming the single-most powerful crime lord in the cartel.”
This reference is to the War of the Bounty Hunters comics crossover event, that resulted in the Grand Hutt Council slaughtered by Darth Vader and Jabba was the sole survivor. This happens in 3 ABY and Star Wars Outlaws takes place in the same year.
1. Curse of the Cantina
While on Tatooine, Kay can visit a cantina in the Mos Eisley. This is the same place where Luke Skywalker and Han Solo met. And now, players can explore. It also has a reference to an iconic event that has been discussed and debated over the year between Star Wars fans.
