Raptor52152's Darth Caedus Mod

Image credit goes to u/stoppingriver52 on Reddit, and his awesome captures

"The son of Han and Leia Organa SoloJacen Solo was a leading Jedi Knight who proved crucial in defeating the Yuuzhan Vong and protecting the galaxy during the Yuuzhan Vong War. The grandson of Darth VaderDarth Caedus was a Sith Lord, who turned against his family and friends, betraying his former principles and leading the Galactic Alliance he once championed into a reign of terror."
-Wookieepedia

This mod replaces Kylo Ren's character, weapon, and icon with that of Darth Caedus, formerly known as Jedi Knight Jacen Solo, from the Legacy of the Force novel series.

This is the first part of my series of Legacy-era reskins, which will replace Sequel Era characters with Expanded Universe characters from the Legacy era. I'm creating this for all Star Wars Legends fans who want to experience the books that they grew up with in SWBFII. Planned mods are Jaina Solo, Captain Lon Shevu, Vestara Khai, Ben Skywalker, a Grand Master Skywalker skin, and a reskin for the First Order into the Galactic Alliance Guard.

Please give any feedback you have. I'd be happy to post the project files for anyone to work with, as long as they provide credit. I hope you enjoy!

Skins

This mod includes three different skins for Caedus:

Lord Caedus
"Doesn't he know who he looks like, wearing that cape?"
-Mara Jade Skywalker

Play as Darth Caedus in his full glory. Soon after becoming Galactic Alliance Chief of State, Colonel Solo, lesser-known as Darth Caedus, quickly donned a Black Cape over his Galactic Alliance Guard uniform. A spitting image of his grandfather, less the helmet, Solo sought to strike fear into everyone unfortunate enough to face him on the battlefield.

Galactic Alliance Guard
"It's an embarrassment for the Jedi Order to see the son and nephew of the Grand Master kicking down doors with the boys in black!"
-Master Kyle Katarn

Increasingly frustrated with the chaos on Coruscant, Alliance Chief of State Cal Omas requested Jacen Solo to lead a secret police force. Colonel Solo's Galactic Alliance Guard was created to intimidate Correlian sympathizers before and during the second galactic civil war. Solo, and his apprentice, Ben Skywalker, led frequent missions into the lower levels of Coruscant to detain and interrogate anyone with ties to Correlia. Colonel Solo, Lieutenant Skywalker, and their men donned an imposing black armor, designed to both intimidate and protect.

Jacen Solo

"
Ben found comfort in the fact that Darth Caedus was slowly being replaced with Jacen Solo in his memory"
-Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi

Before his fall to the dark side, Jacen solo was a powerful, cheerful, and optimistic Jedi Knight. Jacen taught the galaxy how to make peace with a species who's language had no word for it. He was a role model for Ben Skywalker, and a proud nephew to Mara Jade Skywalker. His force abilities were unique from all other Jedi as a result of a long journey around the galaxy, where he studied many different force-using groups. Always on a journey, Jacen wore practical clothes much like his father, Han Solo.
