Unused Levels#

Rhn2.lvl#

Present in the path \GameData\data\_lvl_pc\RHN\ is the level Rhen Var: Citadel from the previous game Star Wars: Battlefront. The ground textures are unfinished. It was probably cut because they couldn't finish it in time. The map was later finished and released as DLC for the original Xbox.

test1.lvl#

Present in the path \GameData\data\_lvl_pc\Test\ is a test level that goes unused. It features an early version of the Republic Attack Cruiser. They have no interiors besides the hangar. If you go through the two hangar doors in the back, you will fall through the map. There is no Trade Federation Cruiser on the map, weirdly it features two early Republic Attack Cruisers. Perhaps the Trade Federation Cruiser wasn't created yet. Two of the four command posts on the map are underneath the ground layer. These two command posts spawn underneath the ground floor.

BES#

The only thing of this level that is left in the game's files is the folder itself. BES was most likely going to be one or both of the Bespin maps from Star Wars: Battlefront. The map Bespin: Cloud City from Star Wars: Battlefront was added as DLC to the Xbox version of the game so it could be possible that it was that map that was supposed to be in the Windows version as well.

KOR#

The only thing of this level that is left in the game's files is the folder itself. This map could possibly have been Korriban: Valley of the Sith Lords. The map Korriban: Valley of the Sith Lords was a map in Star Wars: Battlefront: Renegade Squadron.
