It’s a great time to be a Starfield fan—especially if you also happen to love Star Wars. The latest addition to the Starfield modding scene is a delightful blend of both universes: the iconic X-34 Landspeeder, made famous by Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: A New Hope, has landed on NexusMods, thanks to modder radiclown.
A Year of Starfield Mods
Starfield has been out for almost a year now, and despite some mixed reviews, it’s clear that Bethesda’s space-faring RPG still has the community buzzing. The game recently introduced its first land vehicle, the REV-8 rover, and modders wasted no time in taking it to the next level. Enter the X-34 Landspeeder mod, which transforms the REV-8 into a highly detailed replica of Luke Skywalker’s famous speeder. The timing of this mod couldn’t be better, as Starfield continues to expand its universe with the upcoming Shattered Space DLC.
Why the X-34 Landspeeder?
The choice of the X-34 Landspeeder for this mod is nothing short of genius. The Landspeeder is one of the most recognizable vehicles in the Star Wars franchise, first appearing in A New Hope as Luke’s trusty ride on Tatooine. It’s compact, cool, and oozes nostalgia—perfect for a crossover into Starfield’s expansive worlds.
Modder radiclown has done a stellar job in capturing the essence of the X-34. According to their description, the speeder can be used in the game once the vanilla REV-8 has been purchased. It’s not just a quick skin change; it’s a fully fleshed-out mod that even includes plans for future updates, like improved collisions and a variant without the mounted cannon.
The Community’s Response
The Starfield community has been quick to embrace this Star Wars crossover. A recent post on Reddit (which you can check out here) by Marcusuk1 shows just how excited fans are about the mod. The post gained thousands of upvotes, with users praising the mod’s quality and the speed at which it was made available on NexusMods. It’s clear that Star Wars and Starfield fans alike are thrilled to see the X-34 Landspeeder in action.
What’s Next for Starfield Mods?
The success of the X-34 Landspeeder mod raises the question: what’s next? The REV-8 rover’s introduction has opened the floodgates for all sorts of creative mods. Another recent addition to the NexusMods catalog is the NASA Lunar Rover, which transforms the REV-8 into the iconic vehicle used during the Apollo missions. There’s even buzz about bringing other beloved vehicles, like Mass Effect’s Mako, into the game. The possibilities are endless, and it’s exciting to see where the Starfield modding community will take things next.
Conclusion: A Perfect Blend of Two Universes
The X-34 Landspeeder mod for Starfield is more than just a fun addition; it’s a testament to the creativity and passion of the modding community. By bringing a touch of Star Wars into Bethesda’s latest RPG, modders like radiclown are keeping both universes fresh and exciting. Whether you’re cruising through the desolate landscapes of Starfield or reminiscing about Luke’s adventures on Tatooine, this mod offers the best of both worlds.
