When they do the reveal there's a cinematic that shows all the unavoidable foreshadowing that you didn't notice. It goes on for a full two minutes and is only a fraction of all the foreshadowing to that point since so much is in optional dialogue. Took me completely by surprise the first time and for years I would find another bit of foreshadowing tucked away in areas of dialogue trees I hadn't gone down before each time I played.

    Also helped at the time it came out, unless you purposely looked it up or forums threads about it, it was hard to randomly know about that twist. It was one of the best reveals in gaming, I'd even say ever for gaming but everyone has their opinion. Mean I was already past school so maybe those areas would have had more spoilers.

    Also at that time, for the people a bit too young to know (not knocking ya just doing my Grandpa Simpson story) even if Star Wars was big for prequel trilogy, attack of the clones was out but not last one, there was no Star Wars RPG story game similar at the time or previous. And it had some of the top notch story writing for gaming.

    Also that's the game where I learned about Jennifer Hale, I've always enjoyed her work since. Took awhile to remember her name I just knew the character's name for the longest time.
