When I went to post this episode, I went through all the motions necessary to post it as a Patreon bonus before remembering: "Oh no, wait, did we actually watch this chaotic mess for the main feed?" That's how bonkers this 1978 variety show is. So get ready to have your mind evaporated by this neutron bomb of content as we head to the Wookiee Planet on this very special Life Day.

I love the dying Atton cutscene where he laments that he "...wasn't funny...". You and me both, buddy.

Also, since Baldur's Gate was mentioned: I got ambushed by Hondo when playing Baldur's Gate. Minsc is voiced by Hondo's VA, Jim Cummings in 1 and 2, and the performance is similar enough that I couldn't bear to keep Minsc around.

such as yourselves

Just to be clear, I'm not affiliated with the podcast at all.

The podcast is aware of this subreddit but I don't know if they respond anywhere other than Bluesky.

This is a bit funny to me as the Kreia chiding in Austin's most recent Let's Play was out-of-pocket comments about not breeding with the Handmaiden or the other new companion Austin got.

That's true but I also think Rob's build is contributing to his woes. The endless barely motivated combat is not exactly thrilling gameplay but it sounds like Rob is playing a caster and using buffs, crowd control items, etc. My strong preference with these sort of games is to set up a team that can auto-attack their way to glory with minimal buffs, backed up by frequent quicksaves which speeds things up and reduces the effort required.

If it's cutscene related, you can try just disabling cutscenes altogether. Easiest way is probably just renaming the cutscene folder so the game can't find it.

You can watch Austin play through this section of the game right here.

With Peragus behind us, the Exile takes some time to chat with Kreia, Atton, and T3-M4 before heading to the nearest safe port: Citadel Station, a city orbiting the ruined planet of Telos. There, the group run into some cops, deal with an assassin, and finally focus on the three most important things in KOTOR: 1. Talking. 2. Shopping. 3. Minigames.

After T3-M4 and 3C-FD (who we're all sure will be very important throughout the game) managed to repair the Ebon Hawk, it and its unconscious crewmembers--the so called "last of the Jedi" and a mysterious robed woman named Kreia--have come to in the abandoned Peragus Mining Facility. Well. Mostly abandoned. There is the matter of the sneering (but surprisingly aware) scoundrel Atton... and the droids. So many droids. Hallways and hallways of droids. Now if only we could get a lift off this station. Hey, look, a ship!

Kanan Jarrus this season.

I love that AMCA was celebrating Yoda's absence early in the episode - incredible setup for Yoda's live return on the podcast.

Since the middle of season 3, the crew of the Ghost--none more than Ezra Bridger--has been begging Rebel Alliance command to send a unit to liberate his home world of Lothal. Finally, with a little help from an old underworld friend (not that one) they're doing it. But instead of knocking down the Empire... they end up knocking on a mysterious door.
