Starfield Mod Introduces Lightsabers to Galaxy

Bethesda's Starfield gets a dose of Star Wars with a new Creation mod: Immersive Sabers. This free mod, courtesy of SomberKing, introduces three distinct lightsabers – the Combatech Polaris, Old Earth Photonsaber, and the Arboron Novabeam Saber – complete with authentic sound effects and customizable beam colors. Players can even upgrade them at workbenches and enhance their deflection abilities via a new perk.

The mod doesn't stop at player-use. Lightsabers can also be looted from enemies, cleverly integrated into Starfield's existing weapon crafting system, a fitting compromise given the unique nature of lightsabers in the Star Wars canon. SomberKing plans to expand the mod with three additional lightsabers from different in-game manufacturers in future updates.

This addition, along with recent updates like city maps and ship customization, has boosted Starfield's overall reception. However, the introduction of paid Creation Club mods remains a point of contention for some players, particularly the paywalled conclusion of the Trackers Alliance questline. Despite this, the upcoming Shattered Space expansion and further exploration of the House Va'ruun faction promise exciting new content for Starfield players in the coming months.
