Let us return once more to a more civilized age, a Star Wars podcast.

I'm Rob Zakeney, joined by Ali Akimpora, Austin Walker, and Natalie Watson.

We are, as always, supported by you are listeners via patreon.com slash civilized.

So head over there if you'd like to support the show and get access to all our Q&A episodes and various special editions.

This week, we go to the smugglers moon of Narshedah.

I know it, of course, as the vertical city, which was the gloss that Dark Forces 2 Jedi Knight places on it where you trace 8088 through the city.

Who's a cool, nasty little information broker droid.

By the way, shout-outes to the listener who let us know that the actor who played Kyle Katarn in the full motion video cutscenes of Dark

Forces 2 now owns a vineyard.

I love that for him.

Sells wine.

Shout out.

Absolutely.

What a Kyle Katarne got to retire, you know, on the wine moon of Napa.

It's kind of fitting, right?

Like the whole that game is about like return home to her ancestral estate. Yeah. You know, go tour the irrigation works. Yeah. And he did that in real life and started bottling, bottling wine. One day we'll have, we'll have Kyle Katar in time on this podcast. We'll get to Dark Forces, I'm sure. I'm waiting. Yeah, those games are fun. But for now, there's so much to, so much. There's a lot. You know, you know what I know, Narcidas? What's that? The place that's too big. It's so big. Too big place. It's bigger. This is the biggest level in the biggest,

like, planet in the whole game, I think, by far. We all see how far we even get. I actually

don't know. I, I, we had a plan in mind for where we should play to, and then I played all

of Narsida. As of the time of the recording, I moved last week, so I didn't have time to do the LP edit as of this recording. I'm doing it after this recording for this coming Wednesday, and I'm not yet sure where we're cutting, because I don't know where y'all have gotten to, but in the middle of recording that, I was like, I think if we're going to do this in two episodes, we have to play further than I said we had to play, because there's no way to get it all into two otherwise, because it's just too big. Or we could gloss some stuff, right? Which is also fine. Like, we could. But in terms of giving y'all an amount to play, if we cut off where I thought were you're going to cut off, you'll haven't even gotten to the long part of Narcadha. Wait Wait. No. And I got a taste of it. Cutting my way through a fucking canteena. Oh, no. That's not the long part, Rob. Because at least Natalie, you've played for it a little bit, right? I accidentally did. Yeah, I got, I got, well, here's the thing. Narshada, big as hell, but also

sometimes Narcadah really good and it takes you in and I got swept away. And then before

I knew it, I was like, I think I'm a little bit further than I was supposed to...

That's what I always say.
