Restored
Lightsabers
As in the original, hilts and blades ignite in combat in their crystal's colour, with glow, hum and colour-matched trails.
Effects
Effects, old and new
The original game's effects are back in the client, and new ones are on the way.
Restored
Damage states
The original game's damage effects: lairs, turrets and harvesters smoke, burn and blaze as they're damaged.
Restored
Ambient life and fireworks
The original's turtles on Naboo's lakes, butterflies, insects and pollen over the plants, and fireworks that draw their streaks.
Coming soon
New effects
Effects made for Enhanced that go beyond what the original game could draw.

Enhanced Options
PlannedUnreal's graphics, on your terms
Enhanced Options use Unreal Engine 5.8 to lift the original game's image, with lighting, shadows and detail the 2003 renderer couldn't draw.
Each one is a switch in the options menu. Turn on as many as your PC can handle, or leave them all off and the game looks the way it always has.
Enhanced lightingGlobal illumination and a modern sky
Soft shadowsCrisp up close, softer in the distance
Ambient occlusionContact shadows in corners and under objects
Extended view distanceSee further across the terrain
Mock-up. The final list of options may change.
In development builds
New in Enhanced
Things the original client didn't have, already working in development builds.
- 64-bit client on Unreal Engine 5.8
- Same-planet loads in about 1.5 seconds
- Import your own chat font
- Smoother cities: faded trees and distant buildings cost less to draw
Roadmap
And much more to come
