Emperor Palpatine's classic look from Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) as a full-body costume for ReSkate: black robes, hood, aged face and visible hands.
Install
Install with the ReSkate launcher's mod manager (or drop the folder into Skate\Mods\), then pick Emperor Palpatine under Apparel > Costumes.
Requirements
ReSkate for skate. game build 25414733. Rebuilt when the game updates.
Multiplayer
Other players see Palpatine only if they have this mod installed too.
Known limits
- The robe is skinned to the body, not simulated cloth, so it can clip at extreme poses.
- The head is rigid, so face sliders don't apply and there is no facial animation.
- The source model has no eye texture, so the amber irises are an approximation.
- No Force lightning and no lightsaber.
Changelog
- 1.0.0: First release.
