It's finally out! Star Wars: Battlefront - Anniversary Edition (formerly known as Star Wars: Battlefront Legacy - not to be confused with Battlefront III Legacy) is a large scale mod for the original Star Wars: Battlefront which pulls inspiration from all corners of the franchise, from the original games to DICE's versions and even from the cancelled Star Wars: Battlefront III.
Download it from the ModDB page (https://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-battlefront-anniversary/downloads/star-wars-battlefront-anniversary-edition-20-update)
Please note that, owing to compatibility issues regarding LUA and the manner in which addons are handled, the Star Wars: Battlefront - Classic Collection version cannot be used to play this mod. This mod is compatible only with CD/DVD, Steam and GOG versions of Star Wars: Battlefront.
==========================
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
==========================
Extract all files.
###IMPORTANT: Backup the original Data/_LVL_PC folder and the addon/Tat3 folder###
Before you begin, please remove Tat3 from your Addon folder as this mod comes with its own version.
Copy everything in this folder into your "Star Wars Battlefront/GameData" folder. If you are asked to replace files, click "Yes" or "OK" (or, in Vista onwards "Copy and Replace").

Thank you :cheers:
Patch 1.2 is now live: https://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-battlefront-anniversary/downloads/star-wars-battlefront-anniversary-edition-patch-12
I'm working on the next patch and update. I'd like to get some opinions on what I should include:
A) Selection of classic mod maps (I have permission from Rends to modify his Coruscant City and Streets)
B) Remaining maps from SWBF2 (Geonosis, Kamino, Kashyyyk, Theed nighttime)
C) Selection of my own custom maps (Scarif, Theed, Invisible Hand)
D) Some combination of the above
Space maps are a ways off, still a lot to work out on that front.
I have released a V2 update. Apart from a ffew fixes, it includes a few gameplay changes:
-Snipers now all have unique weapons and remote droids
-Heavy Troopers now move faster, but still not as fast as other unit types

Additional maps, including SWBF2 Geonosis, Kashyyyk and Kamino, will be coming next month.

I think it'd be cool to see a combination of both your own custom maps and a selection of classic mod maps as well!
I regret to announce that this mod, along with all other mod projects, are on an indefinite hiatus due to my own lack of interest. I don't want to hit burnout, so I'm going to set them aside for a while.
Thanks for all your efforts. Burn out is real. We will be here should you get back to it. :cheers:

I'm really sorry to hear this :( It's important to take a break before hitting a full burnout, and when you do return, I hope you can feel proud of all the great work you've accomplished over the years. Thank you for everything you've contributed!
