I did this on a whim, but I've had a lot of fun with it, so I thought I'd share. I just can't get enough of Darth Vader saying "I'm altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it further" on the negotiation screen. This mod replaces all the alien pictures, movies and music. btw, most of the races have different movies, and, in some cases, different sounds depending on your relations with them.
Star Wars Mod HQ (51 megs) -  Link Films have higher bitrate than...
Star Wars Mod LQ (26 megs) - Link
Star Wars Mod Extra Music (32 megs) - Link Replaces the six main songs and the intro theme with various songs from the 5 movies. This is not really necessary. If you have the soundtracks, setting up a playlist will give you a lot more variety.
JavaScout's Galciv Database PDA version - Link Totally unrelated to mod and about 3 weeks out of date. Thought I'd link it, since it's on the same site.
Hope you enjoy it. If you have feedback, I'd love to hear it. Just post it in this thread.

p.s. special thanks to LazyBastard for giving me the space to put this on

um.. any chance you'll replace the ships? 
We need more ship mods darnit! Wait.. we need ANY ship mods! 
I have photoshop, and I am going to try to convert several of the SEIV ship sets over to GalCiv, but won't be easy, since I am not PhotoShop skilled, and not very artsy, either. The instructions that came with the ship encoder were nice, but sort of like greek to me. I am going to try to muddle through them though. I mean.. they are well written, but I am to dense to understand them, being non artistically inclined.

OMG! The Darth Vader .mp3 is great! You outdid your self on the music and movies... too funny.
I know what you mean about Vader. On my old win95 machine on bootup I had him saying (as though to Obi Wan) "You should not have come back!". Made reboots after crashes a little less annoying 
My personal fav on your .mp3s is the Tashi Station line
..and what the hell is up with that smugglers video?!? You are a sick and twisted man you know that? 
Alright, if somebody does ships I will be ecstatic. Good job MadMaz!
"I wouldn't be so proud of this Terror Star you've created. The ability to destroy a system is insignificant next to the power of my trade goods!"

| Is this officially supported by SDC? Since it's a sticky? |

You know better then that!  The moderators are being nice... it's news-worthy so they stickied it rather than having it drift down through the forum.
(plus it prevents endless *bumps* )
Surely if something is officially supported it will be expressed as so, and / or appear in the library.
I imagine there will be a lot of sci-fi mods for GalCiv in the coming months 
Obviously Stardock can't be expected to host or support them!

Doing the ship mods wouldn't be too difficult but there's a couple of issues to overcome. There are 25 ship types for GC. In all of the SW movies to date, I don't think there are more than 9 or 10 ships for even the most fleshed out group which would be from the last 3 movies where it was basicly the rebels vs. the empire. If you look at Episodes I and II, then it gets trickier because instead of having two factions (for lack of a better term) you've got a bunch of splinters that eventually role up into the rebels and the empire later.
I'm not saying that this is impossible, just that some creative license would have to be taken to recreate all of the possible ships within GC with a SW theme.
Additionally, the other annoyance is that you can't have civ specific ships so while you have civ specific models some compromise would have to be made about the ship naming scheme.

Surprised this is stickied. Lets hope LucasArts don't read these forums.

Mad, I'll try again. I use aol for all downloading (including the updates/bonus packs for GalCiv) and once downloaded, have had 100% success in unzipping/opening etc.
Do you recommend opening the file directly or saving it yo the hard drive, THEN opening it? (2 choices I get when I click on your link.)
Thanks!!

The funniest Star Wars parody thing I have ever seen is in Rouge Squadron (the original). If you enter a certian cheat code it plays all of the movies Mystery Science 3000 theatre style with little shadows if C3PO, R2 and Yoda in the lower right like they are in the theatre. It has a ton of outright hilarious lines in. Tears were rolling down my face it was so funny (but lets face it, simple minds are easily amused )
If you can get a copy of this game do a search on the internet for cheat codes... it's worth the price of admission just to see Vader staring out the port window of the Super Star Destroyer and say "and can't someone wash these windows? I mean after all I do for you guys!"

Cool! I am going to download it right now.

One of the races were replaced with the "Jaba the Hut".
Which was cool, but all the sudden an annoying Indian Guy starts making some noise and dancing. Not good, not really Star Wars either.
