"I think the score is a perfect example. Our composer looked at the themes [created by Star Wars theme composer] John Williams, obviously, but also he looked at [music] from a place of character—from where Kay's coming from. I still remember hearing it for the first time. It was just like, "That's Kay." And everything just gets elevated suddenly, you know"

―Narrative director Navid Khavari^[1]

A musical theme for Kay Vess, the lead protagonist of the 2024 video game Star Wars Outlaws,^[1] was composed by Wilbert Roget II^[2] and performed by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.^[3] Roget had taken inspiration from John Williams' Star Wars and Indiana Jones music for the score.^[4]
