The upcoming Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collectionappears to use a fan-made mod for its bonus content. The old Star Wars Battlefront games are loved by fans for recreating the epic battles of the original Star Wars movies, and noted Star Wars port developer Aspyr is bringing them to modern consoles in an updated collection on March 14. Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection contains all the action of the first two Battlefront titles alongside a few fun extras like the ability to play as fan favorites Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress.
These two additional Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection characters were originally available as DLC for the Xbox version of 2005’s Star Wars Battlefront 2, alongside four bonus maps inspired by classic Star Wars locales like Cloud City, Rhen Var, and Yavin 4. Next month’s Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection will be the first time that this extra content will be available outside of Xbox Live, but some eagle-eyed fans have noticed something strange about the new playable Force users.
Reddit user TMT-MrExcitement recently posted a lengthy message about Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection’s bonus content on r/pcgaming, stating that they believe that the compilation's versions of Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress are not from the original Xbox version of Star Wars Battlefront 2. Rather, it seems that Aspyr ripped the character models from an old mod from ModDB that attempted to bring the Xbox-exclusive content to other platforms. This mod simply reskinned two existing characters as Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress, and TMT-MrExcitement pointed out that the latter seems to be holding two lightsabers like in the mod instead of the nunchuck-like saber she wields in the original DLC.
To make matters worse, TMT-MrExcitement points out that the mod Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection seems to draw from is an outdated version, as the creator of said mod eventually updated it to more closely match the official Star Wars Battlefront 2 DLC. This creator, who goes by the handle of iamashaymin, recently spoke with IGN and said that they were made aware of the situation by friends and followers pointing it out to them. They have also reached out to Aspyr, but the developer has yet to respond as of this writing.
