By 3 ABY,^[3] a pair of Saba macrobinoculars had been stored in a compartment aboard the the Trailblazer, an EML-850 light freighter along with a leather jacket. That year, the thief Kay Vess stole the Trailblazer and crash landed on the moon Toshara while fleeing from a failed heist of Westhill Palace on the planet Cantonica.

Behind the scenes

Saba macrobinoculars appeared for the 2024 video game Star Wars Outlaws which was developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft.^[2] Prior to the game's release, the macrobinoculars appeared in a number of the game's trailers first appearing in the game's "World Premiere Trailer" which was released on June 8, 2023.^[4] The binoculars were first identified as "Saba macrobinoculars" in the art book Star Wars Outlaws: A Visual Journey which was released along side the game's ultimate edition on August 27, 2024.^[1] The design of the binoculars was inspired by brushed metal and rubber eyepieces of pocket cameras from the 1970s and 1980s. They were also designed to be small enough to be carried inside Kay's jacket.^[5]
