STAR WARS MODS

The best way to bring Star Wars into your favourite games. By Christopher Livingston

Star Wars has had its ups and downs. There are good Star Wars movies and bad ones, some of the TV shows are great while others are bafflingly bad, and the same can be said for just about anything else Star Wars-related, like novels, comics and videogames. We don’t all agree on what Star Wars stuff is good or bad, just that sometimes it hits the mark and other times it misses worse than a drunk, blindfolded stormtrooper.

But one thing that’s always good about Star Wars is sticking it into games where it doesn’t belong. Any game that takes place in space should have a Millennium Falcon in it, sci-fi combat games should always have a few stormtrooper skins, any game with a sword or even a bat should have its own lightsaber mod. Simply adding a bit of George Lucas magic makes any game better. Heck, there are Star Wars mods for non sci-fi games like Mount & Blade, Prison Architect and even Manor Lords. Show me any videogame, and I’ll show you a modder who looked at it and decided to cram some Star Wars related stuff into it.
