If you’ve ever wanted to play in a Star Wars setting with Halo mechanics, a newly forged map may be up your alley.

Stuffed Crust Pizza founder TyGoss took to Halo 5’s Forge mode and built a Big Team Battle map centered around Tatooine’s infamous Sarlacc Pit. Jabba’s sail barge and a couple of skiffs make an appearance, as do some moisture vaporators. There’s even a certain somebody encased in carbonite.

You can check out the trailer for the map below:

I haven’t given Halo 5 a go just yet, but considering the Forge mapmaking tool was recently released for free on PC, it might be worth checking out. I know it can be fun to mess around on Halo maps with a couple of friends. Community-made maps like the Sarlacc Pit make the idea even more enticing.

As a side note, it’s a shame there’s no map editor in Battlefront. I know I’d love to play on community-built maps set in Star Wars. Perhaps we’ll get lucky with the sequel…
