A pair BX-series droid commandos partaking in the Retaking of Muunilinst during the late stages of the Clone Wars (19 BBY)

I'm sure everyone knows about the Battle of Muunilinst featured in CW 03 that took place in early 22 BBY and whose outcome was an early decisive Republic victory.

However, as the war dragged on into its final year, the Republic's military resources became heavily strained and spread thin across the galaxy during the Outer Rim Sieges.

According to The Essential Guide to Warfare, the Separatists took advantage of these weakened defenses and launched a massive counter-invasion on this hihgly strategical planet.

The Republic garrison was overwhelmed, and the planet fell back into Separatist hands.

Audio Mod Idea: Temuera Morrison Clone Voices + OG B1 Voices

This is obviously something for the modding community rather than the developers, but I was thinking about how cool it would be if Zero Company eventually got a couple of optional audio overhaul mods.

1. A Temuera Morrison clone voice pack

Don't get me wrong, Dee Bradley Baker is iconic and has basically defined the Clone Wars era for an entire generation of fans. But I've always loved the idea that clone troopers should sound closer to Temuera Morrison, since he's literally the voice for them in the movies proper.

A mod that replaced clone dialogue (including Trick's lines with AI) with Temuera-style voice lines (or carefully edited audio from existing sources) could make the game's atmosphere feel a bit more in line with the movies and other pre-TCW media.

2. An OG B1 Battle droid audio overhaul

This one is probably even more niche, but I've personally never been a huge fan of how modern Star Wars often leans heavily into B1 battle droids as comic relief. (especially post-TCW)

Some humor is fine, but I'd love an optional mod that shifts them back toward their more military portrayal bygiving them back their undeniably cool monotone voices featured in media like:

  • The Phantom Menace
  • Galactic Battlegrounds
  • Attack of the Clones
  • Battlefront (2004)
  • Battlefront II (2005)
  • Republic Commando
  • Revenge of the Sith (PS2)

Those games still gave the droids some personality, but they generally felt more like actual unfeeling soldiers participating in a war rather than walking punchlines.

Imagine hearing things like tactical callouts, target acquisition reports, or unit status updates instead of constant jokes. The Separatists might end up feeling a lot more threatening on the battlefield. I'd personally love that as it'd make one feel more immersed in a serious conflict.

Battlefront III. What could've been. Anyone else feels like it'd have become an instant classic with loads of mods years after its released hadn't it been cancelled?

Black Series concept of the obscure A-series Assassin Droid from the legendary Dark Horse "Republic" comic run. I'd buy this figure in a heartbeat...

I proudly present my complete Galactic Empire-themed display, featuring custom props to further glorify the Empire. I've also customized several of the figures. Long live the Empire, and I hope you enjoy it!

What do you think are the chances of getting a Traya single release in the future? I’ve already god a custom Nihilus figure (good old Kylo body swap)

Do you guys think this game will be as moddable as XCOM 2? We could use some custom audio mods for those of us who prefer Tem's Clones and OG battle droids + new skins or characters from the EU

Given we recently got an amazing Kyle Katarn figure, do you guys think we’ll ever get a Jerec one? I’d buy that FOR SURE

I've always been a sucker for the ST-series Droid (aka Super Tactical Droid) both as a concept and as a design. What do you make of them? Like them? Find them redundant?

Hey everyone, I’ve finally finished my high-res overhaul of Revenge of the Sith. It is my favorite SW film by some distance but I must admit I always wanted to do something about the very few gripes I've had with this movie since my first watch. I mainly desired to feel and fix some of the tonal inconsistencies that always bugged me in regards to the change in both voice and general characterization of the battle droids and the CIS as a whole. Here’s what I’ve mainly worked on:

  • Giving it the filmic look: Since the movie was shot digitally, it can look a bit too sterile. I’ve added film grain across the entire film to give it a more organic, cinematic texture that matches the rest of the saga and to help blend CGI elements better (I've also done the same thing for AOTC).
  • The Droids: I’ve done a substantial sound re-edit of the battle droids. I’ve ditched those squeaky, goofy voices from the theatrical cut (every single scene they talk in has been tampered with with utmost attention to detail) and replaced them with the more menacing tones from the first two prequels. It honestly adds so much more gravitas to the conflict per se and consistency to their characterization. At least it does imho.
  • The "Seeds of Rebellion" arc: I’ve integrated the excellenty restored version of the "Seeds of Rebellion" deleted scenes by Mecha Salesman. These scenes add a lot of much-needed political weight to the story and, to this day, I still think it was a poor choice to discard them in the final cut.
  • The Flow: To balance out the extra runtime from the new scenes, I’ve cut the elevator antics bit. I’ve made sure the seamless integration into the final footage feels natural, so the pacing stays tight without losing the depth of the new subplots. Obi-Wan and Anakin basically reach the spire in little to no time after entering the elevator (devoid of battle droids I might add) as it was the exact plan Dooku and Sidious had strategized in the first place.

Feel free to DM me for a link. It will be available for download in full HD quality. Feedback of any sort will very much be welcome
