Bethesda's Starfield space RPG now boasts Star Wars lightsabers thanks to a captivating new Creation mod. The recently released Starfield Creation Kit empowers players – on PC and consoles – to utilize community creations, including fresh features, cosmetic enhancements, and unique additions.
Starfield's expansive sci-fi universe naturally lends itself to fan-made Star Wars integrations. While many high-quality Star Wars mods already exist, the launch of the Creation Club has significantly increased their number. These range 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. A particularly noteworthy mod even introduces Boba Fett, offering a glimpse into the potential of the canceled Star Wars 1313 game.
Now, a new mod takes Star Wars fandom in Starfield to another level: lightsabers. SomberKing's free Immersive Sabers mod introduces three melee lightsabers – the Combatech Polaris, Old Earth Photonsaber, and the Arboron Novabeam Saber – complete with authentic sound effects, workbench upgrades, and customizable beam colors. A dedicated perk enhances deflection capabilities.
Immersive Sabers Mod Brings Star Wars Lightsabers to Starfield
The lightsabers aren't exclusive to the player; they can be looted from defeated enemies. While Jedi craft lightsabers individually in the Star Wars universe, their integration into Starfield's in-game weapon manufacturers provides a clever grounding within the game's world. SomberKing's Creation Club page teases three additional lightsabers from Laredo Firearms, Allied Armaments, and Kore Kinetics.
The recent introduction of Creation mod support, coupled with game updates including city maps and customizable ship interiors, has significantly improved player sentiment towards Starfield. However, Bethesda's approach to official paid mods remains controversial, particularly the paywalled conclusion to the Trackers Alliance questline. With the upcoming Shattered Space expansion and a deeper exploration of House Va'ruun, Starfield players have much to anticipate in the coming months.
