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?

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.

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)?

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

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.

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

Blue harvest was the production name for star wars. 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.
