Here is a Star Wars homage that pops up if you take Zhed with you on the Pogahn Passage mission. Zhed is Chewbacca, they have Margrid the Sly as Han Solo, and you are stuck playing Luke.

Well what do you all think?

Vahn Roi · Nov 24, 2006, 12:09 AM // 00:09

that is too funny.

What does Zhed end up looking like in the mission btw?

Aeshek · Nov 24, 2006, 12:19 AM // 00:19

He just looks like himself. The same way you can't disguise Chewbacca in a Stormtrooper outfit, you can't disguise Zhed as a Kournan.

I did that mission on my Necromancer and I think they pass Zhed off as a prisoner but I can't remember exactly, but yes, he does look exactly the same.

I seen this the other day as well. Also alittle on if you talk to the gaurd he says something like
: Where are you taking this ...thing?
And you say : Prison transfer from cell block one-one-three-eight :P

In case anyone doesn't know Star Wars that well. This is Dialog from the scene in Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope. It's when Han and Luke dress up as stormtroopers to infiltrate the Death Star and rescue the princess. Luke has an idea on how to get Chewbacca past the guards. Since the dialog is pretty much verbatum, I did a quick cut and paste job so you can compare the game dialog, and how it was said in the movie.

Haha, that's great. Anyone try seeing if he says anything in Blacktide Den (when you dress up as corsairs)?

Off-topic: Ew, putting ads in the text of thread OPs? Bad GWG...

Blaarg · Nov 24, 2006, 04:12 AM // 04:12

I don't remember him saying anything when you do Blacktide Den with him.

Some Guru Named Kai · Nov 24, 2006, 04:19 AM // 04:19

Well Zhed's after Blacktide Den in the storyline, so you're kind of going back in time.

dargon · Nov 24, 2006, 06:29 AM // 06:29

The mission where you rescue kormir also has a little star wars homage in it. You have to give a password at one point and you can give the right password or blue harvest. Blue harvest was the production name for star wars.

Wow this is too funny, A-Net is a bunch of 30 year old star wars nerds, lol.

If Starwars isn't totally burned into your brain, you probably just don't like it.

Princess Blades · Nov 24, 2006, 07:31 PM // 19:31

That's pretty good. Made me laugh!

And compare the actual password for that mission (the number) and the number of the cell that Leia is held in during Star Wars. I can't remember the latter so they may not be identical, but close at any rate.

Also, the holy/dervish hench says 'Fly, you fools!', like Gandalf in LOTR.

There are others as well. I did notice that Star Wars reference with Zhed when I first did it though. I used to watch a bit of Star Wars so it was very obvious for me.
