Star Wars Lightsabers Electrify Starfield Gameplay

Bethesda's space RPG Starfield gets a galactic upgrade with a new Creation mod introducing Star Wars lightsabers. The recently released Starfield Creation Kit empowers players to share creative content, including new features and cosmetic additions.

The Starfield modding community has already delivered impressive Star Wars-themed mods, ranging from cosmetic items like Mandalorian armor to entirely new enemy types like AT-ST walkers and iconic blasters. Even a mod incorporating Boba Fett from the canceled Star Wars 1313 game exists. Now, the free Immersive Sabers mod from SomberKing takes things further.

This mod introduces 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. Interestingly, these aren't just player-exclusive; defeated enemies can also wield them, cleverly integrating them into Starfield's existing weapon manufacturing system. SomberKing plans to add three more lightsabers from different in-game manufacturers in the future.

The positive reception to Starfield has increased thanks to the Creation mod support and recent updates including city maps and ship customization. However, Bethesda's paid mod system remains controversial, particularly the paywall for completing the Trackers Alliance questline. Despite this, upcoming content like the Shattered Space expansion and a deeper exploration of the House Va'ruun faction promises exciting new adventures for Starfield players in the year ahead.
