Bethesda's space RPG Starfield gets a dose of galactic flair thanks to a new Creation mod introducing Star Wars lightsabers. The recently released Starfield Creation Kit empowers players to share their creations, leading to a surge of new content, including this exciting addition.
The influx of Star Wars mods for Starfield is significant, ranging from simple cosmetic additions like Mandalorian armor and Clone Wars attire to more substantial additions such as alien species, AT-ST enemies, and iconic blasters. One mod even features Boba Fett, offering a glimpse into the potential of the cancelled Star Wars 1313 game.
The free "Immersive Sabers" mod, crafted by SomberKing, brings three distinct lightsabers – the Combatech Polaris, Old Earth Photonsaber, and the Arboron Novabeam Saber – complete with authentic sound effects, workbench upgrades, and customizable beam colors. A new perk enhances lightsaber deflection capabilities.
Immersive Sabers Mod: Lightsabers in Starfield
Interestingly, these lightsabers aren't just for the player. They can be found as loot from defeated enemies. While Jedi in the Star Wars universe craft their own lightsabers, integrating them into Starfield's in-game weapon manufacturers provides a clever in-world explanation. SomberKing plans to add three more lightsabers from different manufacturers: Laredo Firearms, Allied Armaments, and Kore Kinetics.
The recent addition of Creation mod support, along with game updates including city maps and ship customization, has significantly improved player sentiment toward Starfield. However, Bethesda's implementation of paid mods remains controversial, particularly concerning the paywalled conclusion to the Trackers Alliance questline. With the upcoming "Shattered Space" expansion and a deeper dive into the House Va'ruun faction, Starfield players have much to anticipate in the coming months.
