Thrawn’s Revenge II: Ascendancy takes place after the Original Series and during the events of Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire trilogy. Thankfully someone saw fit to do just that. Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is an incredibly sophisticated and complex 4X RTS game that has a lot of modding potential. 80 unique ships with high-resolution textures and fantastically done animations are included, letting you control the epic battles you’ve seen in the movies like you’ve always wanted to. And no, that isn’t a moon, you can actually use the Death Star as well. You’ll be able to have some very familiar ships from the trilogy and the prequels and pit them against each other. Star Wars: Warlords adds a tremendous amount of content to an already stellar game.
What list wouldn’t be complete without one of the finer Homeworld 2 and soon to be Homeworld Remastered mods. The best Star Wars mods and total conversions that you can play right now.
And sometimes these additions can make bad games great and good games even better. The modding community for many games can be quite large and very well supported, as we’ve seen with the upcoming Mass Effect Homeworld Remastered total conversion. The release of DICE’s addition to the Star Wars Battlefront landscape is imminent, so it’s only natural to look at some of the better ways to experience the Star Wars universe in other less known ways.
