I don't know if anyone picked up on this, but the station section of "Gasko Blues" is a thinly veiled homage to Cloud City on Bespin in the Empire Strikes Back.
Take the guy who leads you around, Tobol, whose name is a reversal of "
Lobot", with whom he shares some striking similarities. The people act as though they are of their own free will, whilst being watched by the Tal Shiar - instead of the Empire in the film. Equally, the part of the mission were you are taken to the station commander, and Hakeev says "Your little rebellion is coming to an end" - echoing the words of Darth Vader.
Didn't pick up on this first time round on Tribble, but it made me smile when I figured it out.

Indeed. Would I be stretching it to say the new Nimbus adventure zone reminds me of a certain desert planet from a galaxy far, far away? Although, it really does evoke the feeling of the Tatooine zone in TOR, which isn't a bad thing.
Yeah, I caught that. It was epic.
Pay no attention to the dates and titles under my name at the left! I am a Career Officer, Lifetime Sub since launch, was in the Beta. Having problems with my forum account.
I play TOR on weekends together with a friend and he already warned me that when we get to that certain planet and the Nimbus zone at the same time, we'd be hard pressed to remember which game we were playing ATM.:)
