Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection Seemingly Uses A Mod For Asajj Ventress

thegamer.com:

Star Wars Battlefront fans suspect that the version of Battlefront 2 in the Classic Collection is using a popular fan-made mod for Asajj Ventress from iamashaymin.

The announcement of a re-release of the first two Star Wars Battlefront games was a big hit with fans, who have been asking for ports of the beloved titles for quite some time now. Many of them, like myself, have been pouring over the reveal trailer since it was released last week to try and see everything they can about the new versions, and it seems that they've managed to spot something rather interesting.

This isn't the case in the Classic Collection version of Battlefront 2, however, as Ventress is shown holding her lightsabers separately and with the same animations that Aayla Secura uses. This strange oversight caused TMT-MrExcitement to suggest that Aspyr is using a fan-made mod from iamashaymin for the PC version of the game that added Ventress to the game by reskinning Secura.

The original creator of the mod, iamashaymin, was sent the trailer by friends and immediately noticed that Ventress was using the same pose as Secura that comes from his mod. This isn't something that is mentioned or credited in the trailer, and seems to be something that Aspyr has done without asking the creator or informing players that it's not the original version of the character. Ventress' lightsaber model has also been pointed out as being very similar to the mod that iamashaymin created in 2021.
