Star Wars Battlefront III Legacy is a large-scale conversion mod created for Battlefront II using as many recovered assets that are available from the cancelled game Star Wars Battlefront 3 by Free Radical; including both eras (Clone Wars and GCW), a brand-new HUD+Interface and a few converted maps such as Coruscant, Cato Neimoidia, Bespin and Dantooine.
It will give you a new HUD with new elements and functions as well as an unknown number [yet] of converted maps [estimated to be <20 maps]
The eras feature Clone Wars, The Galactic Civil War and Post-Endor Era. It contains contents from six Lucas' Star Wars movies as well as a few adoptions from other games such as "EA's Battlefront" or "The Force Unleashed".
The map features modes like Orbital Assault, 1&2 Flag, Team DM, Hero Assault, Fighter Squadron and many more. Also a campaign for both eras are planned. As well as new modes the map features Space to Ground combat. You can battle on ground or get into a fighter and travel up to space and fight against you enemy, above the planet surface, there.
We also present you 50+ Heroes/Villains whose can be played in all Hero Assault Modes or outside the map as separate heroes. Heroes are X1, X2, Falon Grey, Master Ferroda, Obiwan-Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Padme, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Kit-Fisto, Qui-Gon Jinn, and many more. Villains are Darth Vader, Boba and Jango Fett, Darth Sidious, Chancellor Palpatine, Grievous and many more.

Legacy 2021 Pack Release and more….
As the number of newcomers to the mod continues to soar we thought it would be a really cool thing to release some leftover files that may not see the light of day again unless we release them now before they are discontinued.
Since I know a lot of users are probably new to installing mods and Legacy has a lot of things that can cause issues if not properly installed, I compiled all of our 2020 and 2021 patches and expansions into **1** big download pack.
In future I recommend this is the version people download because it includes a massive amount of content and is much easier to install.
You can download it here: Moddb.com (warning that the file sizes here are MASSIVE but that reflects how much this adds and how big our mod will be in future) If you are limited on space or download bandwidth I recommend downloading Pre-Demo 3.0 as it was and grabbing the new MoreMaps 1.9 standalone from, Some of the content shown might've been forgotten about by many users here or perhaps is new to even some of our community veterans and I am really looking forward to people exploring the bulk of extended content that we do not usually show off.
For those interested this pack includes:
*MoreMaps 1.9*
*Era Mod 1.4*
*Cato Neimodia Hunt*
*BF3: Venator*
*Extended Engagements Expansion*
*and the GCW Space Demo*
Ofc you will need a valid copy of Star Wars Battlefront II 2005 on PC, you can get it from pretty much all digital storefronts - we recommend the Steam or GoG edition as it comes with functional Multiplayer.
To install this pack, follow the instructions in the Read Me file/ModDB description, or for those who refuse to read stuff - Install the swbf2_remaster content first and then copy our addon folder to your SWBF2/gamedata folder.

Hello! I recently downloaded this mod and unfortunately the content pops up in instant action as stated in the guide, but I am currently unable to launch the map. I followed the instructions as stated in the guide. Would anyone have any further guidance on what to do?
Great mod but a real shame it crashes like crazy
The content that is in this pack *and works* is fun so far, but there are a few minor things and one major thing I wanna point out.
The minor things are bugs with the classes. The Clone Commander can't switch back to his primary weapon upon switching to the secondary. And his orbital strike beacon is a whole diff beast: You can't reload his weapon while it's on cooldown. The Royal Guard can't manually reload cus pressing R just prompts him to throw a grenade. But RMB doesn't in turn prompt him to reload, so you can only reload on empty. A bug with the Space Demo map I found was the AI frequently crashing into its own ship upon exiting the hangar. I'm also not sure about the presence of heroes on that map, as they're only really useful inside the ships. Farming 180 kills in the enemy ship's spawn is just not that fun, even as Vader. Tho I appreciate that he can now choke up to 3 enemies simultaneously, I did manage to fall through the floor while doing so. But the demo is headed in the right direction. Once the ship's systems become destroyable objectives, it should be a decent change of pace for an IA playlist. Right now, it's only a solid proof of concept.
The major thing is the Lucrehulk map. It's not just bad, it's atrocious. The monotonous, pathetic excuse for a musical score starts straining on your patience really quickly, and the map itself is both visually and mechanically bland. There is nothing interesting about traversing a large, flat open plane. One thing that was understood about the Hoth map in the original BF2, btw. Moving the AT-ATs across Hoth never becomes anywhere near as mindbreakingly dull as moving the AT-TEs through the Lucrehulk's interior. Sometimes realism/authenticity does not automatically make a thing better. Pacing always needs to take priority. I can forgive the BF2 Hoth map for not being movie accurate cus it's actually fun to play.
Hello, what happens if I use a cracked version of SWB2 instead of the original one, in order to install the mod?
The FBI start chasing you for openly admitting piracy on a beloved game
You die. And you'll end up in another world.
Hello, I wanted to go ahead and share with the community my troubleshoot to get the Legacy mods to work with the republic commando mod if some of you have installed the republic commando mod alongside with the legacy mod you may have ran into a issue where the game would lock up on you and crash such as the video below.
Now some others may have encountered this same issue and have been stuck trying to figure out how to troubleshoot this issue well I have the answer to this issue below you will find 4 videos the first 2 videos are non voiced instructions on how to install everything this is more for advanced users who are able to learn by just watching as some prefer to have zero audio so I will be accommodating people who prefer that format. On the other hand I will have 2 With voice videos where I slow things down and slowly walk you through the process of troubleshooting/installing everything this is more for people who are lost from the non voiced instruction videos/require a slower pace as the methods used are a little confusing at first but do work from my testing. Please note that the only thing that the non voiced version don't include in them are how to install the shader patch I explain how to install that in part 1 of the voiced video that's the only thing the NON voiced version doesn't include.
***NON-VOICED INSTRUCTIONS READ DESCRIPTION OF YOUTUBE VIDEO FOR LINKS***
***VOICED INSTRUCTIONS READ DESCRIPTION OF YOUTUBE VIDEO FOR LINKS**
Feel free to watch either version as we all learn differently some of us will prefer voiced instructions others may prefer non voiced feel free to leave a comment if this works for you so far this has helped a lot of people, I'm glad that I could help the community. If you were able to follow along with the non-voiced instructions the only thing you will be missing out on again is how to install the shader patch which allows you to run your game past 1920x1080 without having graphical issues.
***UPDATED VIDEO TUTORIAL***
I went ahead and rerecorded the tutorial videos so it will cover the same information as the videos above.
Could you convert this into a tutorial/article please, this doesn't really belong as a comment.
Is it Cool If I make Videos of this mod and post a link to this page for the viewers?
yes
