I have a 1600x900 screen, and I set everything up accordingly for the custom launcher, and well it works, and although the HUD is fine, the actual game screen is very squashed.

I imagine there's no fix for it due to Battlefront being as old as it is?
I've waited a few months for a reply, so I guess nobody here has a clue?
Try a different wide screen resolution and see if it works.
Battlebelk stopped modding SWBF a long time ago.
You can also play SWBF in windowed mode. I will edit this post when I find the instructions for it.
Make sure you get a 16:9 resolution from your vidmode.ini file. Many of them will be 4:3
Your vidmode file may be located here:
C:\Users\yourusernamehere\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Data\_LVL_PC
For example:
1280 960 0 0 1
is a 4:3 format. Check this by 1280/960 = 1.33
instead choose
1280 720 0 0 1
1280/720 = 1.66 = 16:9
edit:
the easiest way to use windowed mode if you use the custom resolution launcher is to edit this line:
[CMD]
COMMAND_LINE=/nointro /win
in the ini file. Notice that /win has been added.
The initial screen will be 800 x 600, but it will get resized upon entering a map to be widescreen.
