Since its release, Starfield has captivated a motivated community, ready to push the limits of the game. Recently, the imprint of the Star Wars universe has been felt.
Over time, we can expect Starfield to benefit from a myriad of mods, shaking up its initial landscape. The Star Wars community, renowned for its creative fervor, is in the process of reinventing this RPG from Bethesda through numerous modifications. Sometimes this gives rise to a ludicrous result.
Starfield meets Star Wars and…
A Starfield fan has thus taken the bold initiative of merging the universe of Star Wars with that, more unique, of Thomas the Locomotive. On the program: integration of emblematic figures such as Din Djarin, Grogu, the Stormtroopers, and iconic weapons from the saga. The highlight of the show? A mod transforming all the ships in the game into Thomas the Locomotive. It’s totally stupid and that’s why it’s essential. The Thomas mod is available on Nexus.
The origin of this unique mod goes back to an old joke from Bethesda modders. Remember Skyrim, where the dragon Alduin was parodied by said locomotive, making his attack irresistibly funny. User Space_Scumbag on Reddit revealed a video of this modified Starfield, playing Din Djarin and facing Stormtroopers with the famous IB-94 blaster and the Darksaber. The game also shows the character of Grogu, the now essential Baby Yoda.
The community’s reaction to this metamorphosis is varied. If some believe that a city such as Akila perfectly matches the atmosphere of Mandalorian, others were charmed by the surprising appearance of Thomas. Starfield seems to be fertile ground for Star Wars mods. As evidenced by the introduction of other mods including lightsabers and Jedi moves. (See below). The mod in question is also available on Nexus.
Faced with the craze for these Star Wars mods since the launch of Starfield, a player named ‘JLubbs’ is convinced that Starfield could, in the long term, compete with the best Star Wars games. And it’s hard to argue with that.
Beautiful promises
It’s clear that the future of Starfield relies heavily on mods. Although Bethesda plans to support the game for many years, it is undoubtedly the community that will determine the future of the RPG. Like what happened to Skyrim.
Following the recently announced departure of Pete Hines, we hope that the initial plans for Starfield remain unchanged. Including the upcoming availability of modding tools. The latter, highly anticipated and insistently promised by the developers for some time, will offer the possibility of major transformations, including the addition of new planets.
