If you’ve ever played Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) and thought, “Why hasn’t Mara Jade shown up yet?”—you’re not alone. She’s one of the most iconic figures from the Star Wars Legends timeline, a red-headed Force-user who went from Emperor’s Hand to Jedi Master (and briefly Mrs. Skywalker, if you’re deep in the lore).
While EA may not be rushing to canonize her anytime soon, modders once again save the galaxy. The Mara Jade – Star Cards mod adds a sleek and lore-friendly upgrade to your Battlefront experience by injecting custom-designed Star Cards featuring Mara herself. No new character model? No problem—these visual tweaks are more than enough to fuel the imagination and elevate your UI game.
Let’s take a closer look at this tribute to a Legends legend.

Who Is Mara Jade, and Why Does She Deserve Her Own Mod?
Mara Jade is Star Wars royalty—at least in the Legends continuity. Originally introduced in Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire, she served as the Emperor’s secret assassin before eventually aligning with Luke Skywalker and joining the Jedi. She’s equal parts deadly, sarcastic, and stylish, making her a perfect fit for Battlefront’s high-speed hero action.
And while she hasn’t been officially added to Battlefront II (yet), the modding community has ensured she’s not forgotten. This Star Card mod doesn’t just slap her name on some cards—it brings her aesthetic, colors, and energy into every corner of your loadout screen. Think of it as the appetizer while we all wait for a full-blown playable mod version.
What the Mara Jade Star Cards Mod Includes
So what exactly do you get with this UI-focused mod?
- Fully customized Star Cards themed around Mara Jade
- Visually redesigned icons, borders, and UI elements
- Lore-accurate design aesthetics, including purple hues and Emperors-Hand-inspired motifs
- Compatible with multiple heroes (depending on your mod stack)
This isn’t just a cheap asset swap. Each Star Card has been meticulously retextured to reflect Mara’s role as a deadly Force-wielder. Her classic purple lightsaber glow, sharp facial expressions, and signature Imperial-meets-Jedi vibe are all over the UI.
How to Install the Mara Jade Star Cards Mod
Installation is smoother than a Jedi mind trick.
- Download the files from the download links.
- Launch Frosty Mod Manager and import the
.fbmod
file. - Activate the mod and launch the game through Frosty.
- Load up your favorite hero (ideally a lightsaber user) and enjoy the visual transformation.
No compatibility issues have been reported with the base game or most hero retextures, but always make sure this mod loads after any other UI tweaks to avoid conflicts.
Can You Actually Play as Mara Jade?
Short answer: not with this mod alone.
Longer answer: not yet—but there are other mods that swap in models like Rey or Iden Versio with Mara Jade-inspired skins. When combined with the Star Cards mod, you get a fully immersive Mara-themed experience.
You can even stack her UI with NSFW Star Cards, Ahsoka model swaps, or Hutt Slayer Leia mods if your version of the Force leans more toward chaos.
Why This Mod Works for All Types of Players
Whether you’re:
- A Star Wars Expanded Universe veteran
- A visual mod collector
- A PvP junkie who wants their dark side energy to match their killstreak
- Or just someone who likes purple-themed UI…
This mod delivers. It adds subtle flair to your setup without overpowering the screen. It’s great for streamers, screenshots, or just flexing during a lobby wait. Plus, it gives Mara Jade her long-overdue moment in the spotlight—even if it’s only on a card.
The Betting, Esports, and Modding Angle
Let’s not pretend there isn’t a crossover between esports enthusiasts, casino players, and Battlefront II modders. If you’re the kind of player who enjoys stacking odds, optimizing every loadout, and treating PvP like a spreadsheet with blasters, then this mod adds just the right amount of personality without breaking immersion.
Plus, for mod collectors who enjoy the mashup of Star Wars with edgy customization, the Mara Jade Star Cards slot perfectly alongside your NSFW mods, hero overhauls, and ridiculous emote packs.
Conclusion: For the Legends and the Loadouts
The Mara Jade – Star Cards mod doesn’t scream for attention—it whispers like a dark side Force vision. It’s sleek, subtle, and full of character-driven detail. Even if you never read the Heir to the Empire trilogy, this mod gives you a slice of the expanded universe that feels like it belongs.
More than just a UI skin, it’s a tribute to one of the most underused characters in Star Wars history. And in a game where we’ve already got Darth Maul backflipping over Yoda in the middle of Naboo, it’s not exactly far-fetched.
So if you’re ready to give your loadout screen a much-needed dose of purple power and assassin energy, this is the mod you’re looking for.
