Explore planets and unlock fast travel options
Excluding Canto Bight, which is the first area in the campaign, you get to visit four worlds: Toshara, Kijimi, Akiva, and Tatooine. Each world has several settlements, numerous landmarks, and countless opportunities. As you explore, you also unlock fast travel points in specific locations. If you wish to return to a particular planet while avoiding the takeoff and landing cutscenes, all you need to do is open the Map menu and fully zoom out. The galactic map lets you select any world with at least one fast travel point unlocked.
Apart from the planets themselves, you can also fly your ship, the Trailblazer, all the way to space. This region around the planet’s orbit tends to have some shipwrecks and debris, which can net you a few resources. However, do watch out for enemy vessels, which you have to shoot down with turrets and missiles.
