Play as Starkiller in Star Wars Battlefront II: The Force Unleashed Meets Frostbite

For a game that already lets you pit Yoda against Darth Maul in the ruins of Naboo, you’d think there wouldn’t be many ways to crank up the chaos in Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017). But then comes a mod that basically says, “What if the Force was turned up to 11?” Introducing the Play as Starkiller mod, which drops the galaxy’s most unhinged apprentice straight into EA’s star-studded sandbox.

Download the mod here.

If you’ve ever wanted to turn Battlefront II into The Force Unleashed 3 (even unofficially), this one’s for you.

Who the Sith Is Starkiller?

Let’s rewind a bit for anyone unfamiliar with the name. Starkiller, a.k.a. Galen Marek, was Darth Vader’s secret apprentice in the now-Legends-era Star Wars: The Force Unleashed series. Raised in the dark side and wielding Force powers that make even Anakin look like a padawan on training wheels, Starkiller is basically a Force-powered wrecking ball.

He can bring down Star Destroyers, fling Wookiees like rag dolls, and dual-wield red lightsabers with style. Oh, and he has more brooding than Kylo Ren on a bad day. Sadly, the Force Unleashed games are no longer canon… but that hasn’t stopped the modding community from keeping his legacy alive—and giving him a shiny new playground.

Starkiller Joins the Battlefront

This mod doesn’t just slap Starkiller’s head onto another character’s body and call it a day. It’s a full custom creation with love poured into every detail. The character model is ripped straight from TFU, enhanced to blend with Battlefront II’s visuals. There are optional skins, including his classic Sith robes and his “Training Gear” for a more raw look.

But it’s not just about appearances. The mod includes:

Custom animations
Original voice lines from The Force Unleashed
A new lightsaber stance
Unique hero abilities tailored to mimic his in-game powers

This is less of a reskin and more of a respectful resurrection. It’s like modding a myth back into existence.

The Abilities: Big Force Energy

Let’s talk powers. Starkiller in Battlefront II plays like a rage-fueled freight train. His moveset is built to reflect the over-the-top Force mechanics of TFU—so expect plenty of bodies flying across the map.

Here’s what you can expect:

⚡ Force Maelstrom

Lift enemies around you into the air, suspend them helplessly, and then detonate the Force in all directions. Yes, it’s as dramatic as it sounds.

💥 Saber Rush

Starkiller lunges forward in a brutal slash that knocks enemies flat. It’s not graceful—it’s personal.

🌀 Force Repulse

An iconic TFU move. Starkiller slams the ground and sends a shockwave that sends everything (and everyone) around him flying.

Combined with his fast movement and dual lightsabers, he plays like a hybrid between Darth Maul and Kylo Ren, but with even more flair and less chill.

Multiplayer? Not Quite.

Before you go crashing into Galactic Assault thinking you’re going to flip AT-STs like pancakes—hold on. This mod is for offline use only. You can take him into Arcade, Instant Action, and Hero Showdown (with bots), but not online multiplayer. Attempting to do so might result in a ban, so don’t even try it.

That said, playing against bots with Starkiller is already a power fantasy in itself. You’re not balancing gameplay here—you’re fulfilling your dark side dreams.

Performance and Compatibility

The mod runs smoothly for most players and doesn’t break the game—assuming you don’t stack it with 20 other conflicting hero mods. It’s best used with a mod manager like Frosty Mod Manager, and yes, it’s compatible with most visual overhauls and UI changes.

Just be aware: high-detail models and new animations can impact performance slightly, especially on mid-tier rigs. But it’s worth it to Force-choke three clone troopers at once.

Final Verdict: The Force Is VERY Strong With This One

The Play as Starkiller mod for Star Wars Battlefront II is everything a nostalgic Force Unleashed enjoyer could hope for. It’s fast, flashy, dramatic, and just the right amount of overpowered. If Battlefront had cheat codes, this would be it.

It brings back a character that never should’ve disappeared and gives him the sandbox he deserves. Whether you’re mowing through battle droids or recreating your own fan fiction on Kamino, Starkiller’s arrival is both a love letter to Legends lore and a triumph of community creativity.

Just remember: the Force isn’t something you wield—unless you’re Starkiller. Then it’s more like a wrecking ball you ride into battle.
