Star Wars: The New Era was the first large Star Wars modification attempt made on Source Engine. It was produced by Invision Games, a group of over 60 modders and Star Wars fans that have evolved from the Movie Battles 2 community and a mod team working on "Star Wars: Source" before. Star Wars: The New Era was supposed to become a class-based multiplayer experience featuring objective-based scenarios. The project was abandoned in 2013 after all of the remaining team members dropped due to time constraints after starting to study or working in the industry. Initially, the latest state of the mod was planned to be released under Creative Commons license to allow the community to continue the work. Unfortunately, getting in contact with many former team members in order to open-source their work did not work out, so the decision was made not to release any assets without express permit by the respective authors.

Well, the reason for them to "suck" as you tell was mainly since they've been focussed on console platforms and have been ported badly to PC, which results in a very arcade style control of the player character. We're developing this mod for PC and don't have to care about other platforms, so that grants us more freedom to get the FPS feeling right.

I was talking mainly about things like the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series of games. As far as I know those were based solely on PC.

Indeed, but I found they were pretty good. They surely had their flaws, but JK2 CTF even made it to an eSports top title in the EPS finals. And there was such a large community around those games. They were definately some of the better ones.
