When news broke that Bethesda was working on a space RPG, it didn’t take a genius to figure out it would quickly be turned into a de facto Star Wars game by talented modders.
This happened almost immediately, with plenty of Starfield players turning their game into a galaxy far, far away. Hundreds of mods can be found that bring the classic Star Wars appeal to Starfield, but what if you could only choose 10? These are the ones we’d choose.
The Mandalorian
The Mandalorian is a solid start to this list, bringing Din Djarin’s armor and jetpack into Starfield. You can grab both the original and Beskar variants of Pedro Pascal’s protagonist’s armor from the Lair of the Mantis, with modder radicalclownfriend balancing the stats to ensure you don’t get a set of busted items too early in the game. If you want to kick off your Starfield / Star Wars roleplay with a bang, this is a great place to start.
Star Wars Aliens
Of all the Starfield mods on this list, radicalclownfriend’s Star Wars Aliens will make the most significant difference in making your dream intergalactic crossover a reality. It’s a simple concept, introducing many of Star Wars‘ iconic aliens into the ranks of Starfield‘s factions, but the effect is sublime. You’ll go from meeting a Twi’lek spacer one moment to a Zabrak member of the Crimson Fleet the next, all while playing as a Rodian yourself. New character presets, hairstyles, tattoos, and skin tones make this mod fully customizable, too. 10/10, no notes.
UC Empire
Did something about Starfield‘s United Colonies rub you the wrong way? Download UC Empire so you don’t have to feel bad working against them. This impressive conversion transforms Starfield‘s most powerful faction into the Galactic Empire, with tons of new outfits placed on NPCs around the galaxy. This mod also opens new roleplay possibilities for evil characters – joining the Galactic Empire feels slightly more sinister than joining the United Colonies, but that’s just us.
Star Wars YT-1300 Millennium Falcon 1977
Ever wanted to fly the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy? Starfield‘s ship-builder not quite cutting it in the vanilla game? Then allow us to introduce electionis007’s Star Wars YT-1300 Millennium Falcon 1977 mod. This awesome creation adds all of the individual pieces you need to put together Han Solo’s legendary Corellian freighter, including a build manual so simple even a Gungan could do it. If you fancy putting your own spin on the Falcon, this mod has you covered, with plenty of paint job options available.
AT-ST Enemies
AT-ST Enemies shakes up Starfield‘s combat in a really interesting way. The base game has a real lack of giant enemies that pose a significant threat, but throw a Star Wars AT-ST into the mix, and things get a lot more interesting. This mod by radicalclownfriend adds seven AT-ST enemies in various locations across Starfield, offering something new challenge for high-level players to take on. The Star Wars skin is just a bonus.
Grand Army of the Republic – Star Wars Clone Trooper Conversion
Grand Army of the Republic – Star Wars Clone Trooper Conversion transforms the United Colonies into the Galactic Republic, inspired by its appearance in the prequel trilogy. Various divisions of the Clone Army are represented in this awesome conversion mod, from the iconic 501st to the fan-favorite 212th. It feels right at home in Starfield – the only downside is that as a U.C. replacer, you’ll need to choose between this and UC Empire.
All Trilogy Lightsabers
Come on. Did you really think we were making this list without a lightsaber mod? Our choice is All Trilogy Lightsabers, which adds blades from all nine Star Wars movies, as well as a few TV shows such as The Clone Wars and Rebels. Starfield‘s melee combat just got a whole lot cooler.
X-34 Landspeeder
After Starfield added land vehicles in the form of the REV-8, it wasn’t long before this feature was given the Star Wars treatment. X-34 Landspeeder lets you patrol Starfield‘s landscapes in Luke’s landspeeder as it appears in A New Hope, with a front-mounted gun for good measure.
Freestar Rebels
The Freestar Rebels mod is one of the bigger entries on this list. It transforms the Freestar Collective into the Rebel Alliance, replacing several different outfits to give one of Starfield‘s factions a fresh coat of paint from a galaxy far, far away. It also includes body morphs, so yes, you can roleplay as Porkins. Use this alongside the UC Empire mod for some true Galactic Civil War action in Starfield.
Aurebesh – Star Wars Conversion
Aurebesh – Star Wars Conversion is a mod you’ll spend tons of time not even noticing while it’s active. It changes all of Akila City and New Atlantis’ text and signs into Star Wars‘ fictional Aurebesh language, with the end goal being to do this across the entirety of Starfield. It’s super immersive, and a must-have in any Star Wars roleplayer’s load order.
