This is hardly the first classic movie setting that Mojo Swoptops has recreated in video game form, as the artist has rebuilt The Lion King's Pride Rock and the idyllic Shire from The Lord Of The Rings in Far Cry 5, on top of famous gaming locales like The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time's Forest Temple and Nook’s Cranny from Animal Crossing. Check out Mojo Swoptops' work in the YouTube video below. Since the soccer ball models used weren’t that big, the entire scene is actually smaller than the player, though a cleverly-placed camera angle hides this pretty well. Mojo painstakingly rebuilt Luke Skywalker's family moisture farm, using a repainted soccer ball to serve as the Lars homestead, some strategically positioned platform pieces as moisture vaporators, and two more soccer balls as the two setting suns that the future Jedi master would look soulfully into as he yearns for a life of adventure – finally topping the set-piece off with some well-tinted dust effects.

Some players have even made their own boss battles, Pokémon matches, and Podraces in Forge - the last one being all the more fitting thanks to an artist's recent remake of the iconic desert planet of Star Wars fame. Naturally, these players have also used Forge Mode to build clever homages to other games like Duck Hunt and Destiny in Halo 5, at least when they aren’t passing the time waiting for 343 Industries’ Halo Infinite by re-enacting that game’s demo area as seen in last July’s Xbox Games Showcase.

Introduced back in Halo 3, Forge Mode allows fans to build their own custom stages to play multiplayer rounds of Microsoft’s long-running shooter, with each new installment adding new tools and features to aid creative players in their mission to put together the ultimate battle arena.

One talented artist has recreated Star Wars' iconic Tatooine sunset using Halo 5: Guardians' Forge Mode and some clever improvisation.
