“Found something called a holocron and now is learning the way of the Force,” the post continues. “Just built this one’s first lightsaber and had to test it out. This one thanks the Trolls for volunteering as tribute, ahem research volunteers.”

The mod in question appears to be this one, titled Lightsabers (Magicka Sabers). It adds a variety of different Star Wars-style lightsabers to the game for use in combat.

The colours of each saber range from the common blue, green, red colours, to other colours seen less throughout the Star Wars films like purple, yellow, and white. It also includes custom mechanics and sound effects.

What it lacks, however, is dismemberment. Considering Star Wars games have come under criticism in the past for not featuring dismemberment with regards to lightsaber combat, it’s something that one user quickly pointed out was missing, and offered a solution.

“Trust me if it’s compatible and works with the rest of your mods, it’s absolutely amazing watching your enemies limbs flying off,” reads a comment underneath. “There are also some neat features in there like slow mo dismemberment.”

Considering the scope of some Skyrim mods and fan-made expansions, it’s surprising that nobody has attempted to create an entire Star Wars game inside the Creation Engine.

The closest might be Star Wars Redux 2022, which is a total conversion mod which adds various weapons, armours, enemies, and items from Star Wars into Skyrim. However, rather than making it a brand new game, it’s simply intended to slot alongside the rest of the base game.
