10Starfield’s Loading Screens Can Be Re-Themed
Mod: Star Wars - Loading Screens By DeityVengy On NexusMods
The number of loading screens inStarfieldhas been a contentious point for players. Whether one sees it as a dealbreaker for the game, or simply an annoyance, it’s hard to deny that there are a lot of them. Players who want theirStar Warsmodding experience to feel comprehensive will therefore likely want to do something about these constant, off-theme loading screens.
Luckily, modderDeityVengyhas come up with a solution:customStar Warsloading screens that replace theStarfieldones. This mod includes 14 differentStar Warsimages that will replace the typical loading screens players would see inStarfield. Tiny details like this may seem insignificant, but it’s hard to overstate the impact of this seemingly small change. Having every aspect of the game include some amount ofStar Warscontent makes it feel a lot more like playing a fullStar Warsgame, which is likely what players are going for with these mods.
9NPCs Can Turn Into Races From Star Wars
Mod: Star Wars Aliens By radicalclownfriend On Nexus Mods
One major difference between the worlds ofStarfieldandStar Warsisthe presence of sentient aliens. WhileStar Warsis well-known to have many different intelligent aliens, it seems that the only intelligent beings inStarfieldare humans. That’s not to say one creative choice is better than the other when it comes to sci-fi world-building, but it is a big difference that will need to be corrected if players want their moddedStarfieldgame to feel likeStar Wars.
Nexus Mods userradicalclownfriendcreated the perfect mod to fix this problem. This mod changes many of the NPCs inStarfieldinto various Star Wars races like Twi’lek, Duros, or Togruta.A major mod like this can be tricky to pull off, especially when races like Rodians or Trandoshians have very specific and non-human appearances. Luckily, this modder did a great job modeling eachStar Warsrace look just the way it does in the movies, so the mod doesn’t feel like a lazy reskin.
8Players Can Kit Themselves With Star-Wars-themed Gear
Mod: Star Wars Armor Pack By TheSniper9 On Nexus Mods
ManyStar Warsmods forStarfieldfocus on changing the world of the game around the player. But, to get the fullStar Wars experience, players will also want to get some mods that help them change how their character looks to fit in with the new setting. One great mod for this is by Nexus Mods userTheSniper9, which offers a variety ofdifferentStar Warsoutfits for the player to wear.
This mod adds unique new suits of armor toStarfieldthat players can craft and wear. There are options for two ofStar Wars’ most popular styles of armor: Clone Trooper and Mandalorian.

Some styles are generic versions of these armor types while others look like specific characters such as Din Djarin or Captain Rex.

Starfield showcased its first DLC, Shattered Space, in a trailer during the Xbox Games Showcase. Here’s what it reveals about the upcoming expansion.
7Text Can Be Converted To Star Wars' Language, Aurebesh
Mod: Aurebesh - Star Wars Conversion By radicalclownfriend On Nexus Mods
Even though characters inStar Warsspeak English - called Galactic Basic in-universe - they actually use a completelydifferent alphabet known as Aurebesh. These symbols can be seen all overStar Warsmedia, while typical English writing is nowhere to be seen. That means, even with extensiveStar Warsmods,Starfieldcan still break a player’s immersion in their newly-themed world by having a sign or graffiti written in English, or any other Earth language.
For players who want to go the extra mile toward makingStarfieldfeel like an authenticStar Warsexperience,there is a mod availablethat will allow them to convert all in-game text to Aurebesh. Though this will cut down a bit on the functionality of in-game text, players should still be able to navigate the world perfectly fine without it thanks to things like quest markers and points of interest.Even a little inconvenience is worth the trade to see Aurebesh scrawled on walls or lit up on neon signs, giving the world a more authenticStar Warsfeel.
6The United Colonies Can Be Reskinned Into The Rebuplic
Mod: Grand Army of the Republic - Star Wars Clone Trooper Conversion By TheSniper9 On Nexus Mods
The United Colonies, or UC, inStarfield,is a republic made up of several planetary systems. From that description, it’s pretty easy to see how players could draw a straight line between the UC andStar Wars’ Galactic Republic that appeared in the prequel trilogy. Also similar to the Republic, the UC has some seedy elements that make it clear it is not the most ethical governing body. This gives players looking tomod theirStarfieldgame to includeStar Warsfactionsa pretty clear swap to make.
Replacing the UC with Clone Troopers fromStar Wars’ Republic works well with the role that The United Colonies play inStarfield. While it isn’t exactly a one-to-one in terms of story,it’s close enough for players wanting aStar Warsexperience. This mod byTheSniper9will reskin NPCs from the UC, turning them into Clone Troopers. Clones in this mod come in a variety of different styles, so it doesn’t just look like one copy-pasted NPC running around everywhere. This combined with theStar Warsalien mod goes a long way toward transformingStarfield’s world.
One Hidden Starfield Update Helps Make The Game Much More Immersive
Since the update, Starfield includes an excellent - but sorely overlooked - setting that increases immersion. Here’s why every player should try it.
5Starfield’s Crimson Fleet Becomes Star Wars Baddies
Mod: Shadow Collective - Mandalorian Crimson Fleet Conversion By TheSniper9 On Nexus Mods
One of the main factions in opposition to the UC inStarfieldis the Crimson Fleet. The Fleet is a faction made up of many individual pirate captains who are all under the leadership of a character named Delgado. Similar to swapping the UC with the Galactic Republic, players can switch out the Crimson Fleet for a fittingStar Warsfaction: The Shadow Collective.
Similar to the Crimson Fleet, the Shadow Collective is an organization made up of several different criminal elements in theStar Warsgalaxy. Again, this isn’t a perfect one-to-one comparison, after all Darth Maul’s goal with the Shadow Collective inStar Warsis a bit more grandiose than those of the Crimson Fleet. Still, it’s a close enough parallel to work well as a mod.Starfield’s Shadow Collective mod was also made byTheSniper9, so players can be confident in knowing it was designed to fit alongside the modder’s otherStar Warscontent.
4Players Will Have To Face Down AT-ST Walkers
Mod: AT-ST Enemies By radicalclownfriend On Nexus Mods
TheAT-ST is a classicStar Warsdesignthat instantly puts players in the mindset of being in a galaxy far, far away.The Mandalorianalso proved just how intimidating they could be, as just a single walker was able to terrorize an entire village. This means an AT-ST isn’t just a recognizable element fromStar Warsto include in aStarfieldmod, but also presents a unique and intimidating threat for players to face.
There is a mod byradicalclownfriendspecifically designed to add AT-STs as enemies inStarfield. In their description for the mod, radicalclownfriend mentions that this isn’t just an attempt to create moreStar Warscontent, but also introduces a unique type of enemy toStarfieldsince there currently aren’t any large mechs to fight. This modder has alsocreatedStarfield-themed mechsfor players who want this enemy variety, but don’t want to have aStar Warstheme with it.
3The Galactic Empire Can Replace The UC
Mod: UC to Galactic Empire By Skizotenigma On Nexus Mods
Much like how players canchangeStarfield’sUnited Colonies into the Galactic Republic, there is also an option to turn them into the Empire from the Galactic Civil War era ofStar Wars.While the UC might not be as unflinchingly evil as the Galactic Empire, the theming could be appropriate for an early-stage transition post-Clone Wars. After all, the UC’s restrictions on citizenship are likely reflective of similar losses of freedom that would have been implemented in the early days of the Empire’s rise to power.
When it comes time for a player to decide whether they want the UC to look like the Empire or the Republic, it will mostly come down to personal preference.Plenty ofStar Warsfans don’t have too much love for the prequel trilogyand might prefer to stick with the original look. This mod bySkizotenigmawill allow players to giveStarfielda classicStar Warslook and feel.
2There Are A Variety Of Mods To Replace Starfield Weapons With Star Wars Ones
Multiple Mods By crozzbow On Nexus Mods
Some ofStarfield’s weapons look more sci-fi, while others look closer to modern-day firearms. One certain thing is that a majority of them do not look like they belong in theStar Warsuniverse. As far as guns inStar Warsgo, they all have a distinct look that doesn’t have to match too closely to real guns, since they don’t use typical bullets. It would be jarring to see a Stormtrooper pull out a normal pistol, meaninga weapon-swapping mod is pretty importantto sell aStar Warsversion ofStarfield.
Nexus Mods usercrozzbowhas several mods that cover a range of differentStar Warsweapons. There are mods to add Imperial weapons, Rebel weapons, and Mandalorian weapons. Apart from guns,crozzbow also has a melee weapons mod that allows players to use iconicStar Warsweapons like the Darksaber.These weapon mods along with reskins of the world and NPCs can be used to create a fully-realizedStar Warsversion ofStarfield, at least from an aesthetic standpoint.
1Some Gear Can Be Turned Into Mandalorian Armor
Mod: Mandalorian Conversion - Clone Wars Era By TheSniper9 On Nexus Mods
Mandalorian armor is one of the most well-lovedStar Warsdesigns. After all, fans originally fell in love with Boba Fett inThe Empire Strikes Backlargely due to the cool design of his armor, since he didn’t really have much of a personality. AnyStar Warsfan moddingStarfieldis likely going to want a way to get their hands on this iconic type of armor. ModderTheSniper9has an armor-swapping mod that can turn certain in-game items intoMandalorian armor as it appeared during the Clone Wars.
Starfieldseems ripe for all kinds ofStar Warsmodding. It will be interesting to see what directions future mods take, and just how immersive aStar Warsversion ofStarfieldcan truly become. Players should also continue to share any excellentStarfieldmods they find that can add to mods like these. This can allow players to combine the best ones and create their perfectStar Warsfantasy.
