I was playing through MotS singleplayer for nostalgia's sake, and I stumbled across the droid ballet. I'd completely forgotten about it... I assume there are other people here who have found it or know about it. It is hidden in the first Kattrassi Spaceport level, on the lower section of the level where you get the tool to close the docking bay doors, there is a 3po droid wandering around. Eventually, he will walk over to a locked door, and open it for you. Once you get inside, you see a bunch of droids "dancing" around in sync with each other, and Mara says "Its some kind of... ballet?"



And of course, the aftermath:

In all my years here, I have never once heard of that. That's awesome.

Makes me wanna go fire up MotS and go see it for myself.

I stumbled upon that on the first time I played it through. I remember not knowing how to get back to it.

unpossible. I swear I checked every door in that spaceport and I've never seen or heard of the likes of this! That's awesome!!

Lol! I remember that

You probably didnt catch at the right time. Its only open for a few seconds when the 3po droid is walking through it.

The door will only open once for that droid and that droid only.

Yeah I usually look for those sort of things though. I mean, obviously I missed this one, but... yeah...

Awesome! I'd totally forgotten about this....

I think this is gonna go on my desktop for a while.

That's awesome! Could of done with some music and cool dance moves though!

Ahh, how I love Easter Eggs! While we're at it, are there any others in JK/MotS worth mentioning. Any at all.

The only ones I know of are:

1) The "Max" the rabbit room in Baron's Hed (JK).

2) The "Max" the rabbit textures on the back of that platform in the fuel station level (Jk).

3) The MotS Secret Level (which really was ntohing special).

Any others??!! Please, enlighten me!

I was just thinking about the MotS secret level myself. There was another version though, it might even be here at Massassi. Someone expanded it and made it better.

Nah, it's kinda cheap, they just walk around a preassigned path in synchronization. That's why I think someone should do a real Droid Ballet where they dance and hold hands and do all these complex maneuvers. We could have droid graduates from the Academy of Silly Walks ( <3 Monty Python)!

Oh, really DSettahr? That sounds cool - I'll have to be on the lookout for this remake.

I thought this was really old news, you people are more surprised than I expected.

And yeah, the Mots secret level did suck, but it was still better than that pirate orbiting shipyard level (I hate that level, the texturing/archi is just so boring. I actually like kaerobani's base, it has a unique look and the archi is decent)

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Never knew about it, but that's cool

I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

I remember discovering that a long time ago. It was pretty funny stuff. I think the easter egg with Max the Rabbit was funnier though because actually help you take down baddies unless you attacked him.

Ah yes, I can remember stumbling upon that one. Had me quite confused the first time as I had no idea what to make of it. Took me a few seconds before I realised that it was an easter egg.

And bloody hell, I always liked this spaceport level. I liked the fact that you weren't immediately attacked on sight by the stormtroopers or the other usual enemies until you found Abron Mar. That's one of the things that made this one of my favorite levels in the game.

(still, I should also mention the temple levels at the end... When I played that for the first time, it was dark and stormy outside with a bit of lightning as well. Scariest experience ever.

As soon as I saw the title I thought "I bet this is about that sweet thing in MotS!" I saw it once the first time I played it and never again. I actually thought it wasn't real after a while. I thought maybe it had all just been some dream or fantasy. This, my freinds, is proof that I'm not crazy~!

Err, wait, those were for JK.. My mistake.

I used to believe that we must fight the future, lest change come without our consent. I was wrong. The truth is that we must embrace the future, for only with change can we remain the same.

Wow, I never knew this 'droid ballet' existed! I'd seen the .wav file for Mara's line there, but always assumed that it was for the ballet they Ugnaughts were watching on the street. I'll have to go check this out.

Oh, and here's the remake of the MotS secret Bespin level:

What's this MotS secret level? I've never heard of it.
