Since its launchDreamscontinues to delight and amaze as users create breathtaking projects within it.Star Wars, a world ripe with spectacles and imagination, is a perfect inspiration for aDreamscreation, and one fan has certainly seized that opportunity.
To put it simply,Dreamsis a game created by Media Molecule that allows players to create their own games or visual media. Players can then publish their creations, allowing other players to potentially download it and interact with it themselves. Upon release, players were somewhat baffled by what exactlyDreamswas, or rather, what it could do. A year later though, and fans are beginning to tap into the game’s power, like one fan did with theirplayableRatchet & Clanklevel made entirely inDreams.

Reddit user Elca_YT recently uploaded their incredibleStar Warscreation to theDreamssubreddit where it is getting a lot of buzz. Elca’s creation is a model of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s third and final lightsaber hilt as seen inEpisode IV: A New Hope. The details on display are impeccable, each section of the hilt being textured with appropriate materials, like the gold focusing ring shining brilliantly, and the black of the main hilt being a bit duller. Unlikethe playableThe MandalorianDreamsgame, Elca’s model is not for gameplay purposes and is just for viewing pleasure in the game.

One fan gives remarkably high praise for Elca’s creation, thinking that it was actually an ad of some kind. Beyond the craftsmanship of the lightsaber itself, the collection of photos Elca has uploaded lend a great deal of showmanship to the piece. The combination of multiple camera angles and super dramatic lighting—a black background with one strong light source coming off screen—elevates this piece from great to exceptional. It is a shame though that the lightsaber is not for gameplay purposes because it could easily be modded onto aLight Side hero inBattlefront IIor Cal inJedi Fallen Orderand none would be the wiser.
Dreamsand its potential for crossovers has opened up a grey area for players that they may not have otherwise experience beforehand. People have been making fan games for forever, but those have typically been people wanting to learn how to make games through more mainstream tools like the Unity Engine. Last year though,Nintendo issued complaints to players makingDreamsMarioprojects, showing that not everything was possible in the game. That said, it would be nice for Elca andStar Warsfans in general to be able to continue making fan content without Disney knocking at the door, but who knows what might happen.
Dreamsis available now on PS4 and PS5.
