Most fan-made additions only tweak visuals or mechanics, but there is one Star Wars mod that clearly plays in a different league. With its enormous file size, demanding hardware requirements, and ambitious scope, Star Wars: Genesis effectively transforms Starfield into a fully fledged galactic role-playing experience.

One of the greatest strengths of PC gaming – alongside advantages such as not having to pay for online play and retaining access to games across generations – is undoubtedly the modding scene. Few studios are as supportive of community modifications as Bethesda, whose Creation Engine has enabled truly impressive creations over the years. This time, attention turns to Star Wars: Genesis, which can best be described as a complete remaster of Starfield that relocates Bethesda’s RPG into George Lucas’s universe. It is worth noting that this project is actually a massive compilation of mods, weighing in at 100 GB or more and requiring over 200 GB of free storage space on a PC.

As mentioned earlier, Star Wars: Genesis is far from a typical mod that merely stitches together isolated changes. Instead, it is a comprehensive overhaul that redesigns the entire gameplay experience. The mod introduces entirely new protagonists and enemies, unique Star Wars-inspired locations, factions, and narrative elements that justify treating Bethesda’s latest RPG as a pseudo Star Wars game. It also features iconic planets such as Coruscant, Tatooine, and Mandalore, each offering its own stories, dangers, and opportunities for exploration.

The most impressive aspect is that Genesis goes well beyond surface-level aesthetics. It adds multiple storylines, explores conflicts between the Empire and the Rebellion, and incorporates criminal syndicates like the Pykes and the Hutt Cartel. Players are given a galaxy filled with activities, including trading and base building. In addition, Genesis has its own lore: according to its creators, the story is set ten years after Revenge of the Sith, while deliberately including original elements that set it apart from the established timeline.

Star Wars: Genesis Is Not a Typical Starfield Mod, and That Is Why Its File Size Is So Massive

The unusual aspect of Star Wars: Genesis is that installing it requires PC specifications that not every player can meet. Naturally, owning Starfield is mandatory, and the mod relies on the Wabbajack automated installer to apply more than thirty separate mods to the base game. The complete mod list exceeds 100 GB, and in some cases can reach up to 200 GB due to high-resolution textures. For stable gameplay, 32 GB of RAM is recommended, along with a graphics card featuring more than 10 GB of VRAM, even for a basic experience.

As a result of its size and complexity, Star Wars: Genesis is aimed exclusively at PC players, with no console version planned. It is designed for those seeking a premium experience backed by equally powerful hardware. This incredibly ambitious project serves as a clear demonstration of what fans can achieve when they are given creative freedom.
