Some characters in the Star Wars universe are so fiercely independent that they deserve more screen time, more game time, and, let’s be honest, more chaos. Saw Gerrera? He’s definitely one of them. The extremist rebel leader, known for his intense tactics and unwavering fight against the Empire, now joins Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy—well, sort of. Thanks to a new mod, you can take on the role of Saw Gerrera, as he appears in Galaxy of Heroes, and cause some havoc in your Jedi Academy adventures.
What’s in the Mod?
This mod is a skin replacement that lets you play as Saw Gerrera, using his design from the Galaxy of Heroes mobile game. Here’s what you’re getting:
- Saw Gerrera Character Model – Straight from Galaxy of Heroes, with all the rugged details you’d expect from a guy who’s been fighting since The Clone Wars.
- Voice Pack from Jedi: Fallen Order – Because what’s a legendary rebel leader without his gritty, determined voice?
- Simple Installation – No complicated setup; just drag and drop the file into the right folder.
While it won’t change gameplay mechanics or add new abilities, it does let you step into the boots of one of the most battle-hardened warriors in Star Wars history.
How to Install the Mod
If you’ve installed mods for Jedi Academy before, this will be a breeze. Here’s the process:
- Download the mod from this link.
- Extract the skin file to the
base
folder in yourGameData
directory. - Launch the game, head to the character selection, and choose Saw Gerrera.
- Spawn the NPC in-game using the command:
Npc Spawn Saw_Gerrera_GOH
(if you want to see him in action). - Enjoy bringing chaos to the galaxy!
That’s it! No complicated coding or file tweaking required.
Why Play as Saw Gerrera?
Let’s be honest—Saw Gerrera is one of the most underrated rebels in Star Wars. He doesn’t play by the rules, he doesn’t take orders, and he definitely doesn’t do diplomacy. Whether you first met him in The Clone Wars, Rogue One, or Rebels, you know he’s not your standard freedom fighter. He’s more of a “blow it up first, ask questions never” kind of guy.
Playing as Saw in Jedi Academy lets you:
- Recreate his fierce resistance tactics – Just because it’s a Jedi game doesn’t mean you have to play nice.
- Experience his rough-edged aesthetic – His Galaxy of Heroes look brings a war-torn, battle-scarred presence to your game.
- Use his Jedi: Fallen Order voice lines – Making every fight feel that much more intense.
What This Mod Is (and Isn’t)
Before you install, here’s a quick breakdown of what to expect:
✅ A high-quality skin and voice pack – It visually and audibly nails the character.
✅ A straightforward installation process – No fuss, no extra software needed.
✅ NPC spawn capability – If you don’t want to play as him, you can just spawn him for some fun encounters.
❌ No new abilities or gameplay mechanics – Saw won’t have special Force powers or custom animations.
❌ Not a total conversion mod – This keeps the core game intact while giving you a fresh character option.
Final Verdict: Worth the Download?
If you love Star Wars and enjoy making Jedi Academy as immersive as possible, this mod is absolutely worth installing. It brings a fan-favorite rebel into a classic game without overcomplicating things. Sure, it’s just a skin, but for Jedi Academy modders, that’s often more than enough to breathe new life into an old favorite.
And let’s be real—Jedi Academy with Saw Gerrera? That’s a level of gritty, no-nonsense rebellion that’s hard to pass up. Download the mod, get in there, and start fighting for the cause (or, you know, just cause chaos—it’s your game).
