Starfield Mod Adds Star Wars Lightsabers To The Game

A new Creation mod brings the iconic Star Wars lightsaber to Bethesda's Starfield, enhancing the space RPG experience. The recent release of the Starfield Creation Kit has unleashed a wave of player-created content, including this exciting addition.

Starfield's expansive sci-fi universe has proven a fertile ground for Star Wars-themed mods. While many mods offer cosmetic items like Mandalorian armor or Clone Wars attire, others introduce Star Wars creatures, AT-ST enemies, and iconic blasters. One mod even features Boba Fett, offering a glimpse into the potential of the canceled Star Wars 1313 game.

The free Immersive Sabers mod, by SomberKing, introduces three lightsabers – the Combatech Polaris, Old Earth Photonsaber, and the Arboron Novabeam Saber – complete with authentic sound effects, customizable beam colors, and workbench upgrades. A new perk enhances lightsaber deflection. Enemies can also wield these lightsabers, adding to the immersive gameplay. The mod creator plans to add three more lightsabers from different in-game manufacturers.

This clever integration grounds the lightsabers within Starfield's universe by attributing their creation to in-game weapon manufacturers. The addition of this mod, along with recent updates including city maps and ship customization, has significantly improved player sentiment towards Starfield. However, Bethesda's paid mod system remains a point of contention, particularly regarding the paywalled conclusion of the Trackers Alliance questline.

Despite this, future updates like the upcoming "Shattered Space" expansion and a deeper exploration of the House Va'ruun faction promise even more exciting content for Starfield players this year.
