Knights of the Old Republic, pt. IV: Tatooine & The History of the Rakata

Luke and Kelsey listen to an old man tell a very long story about the Rakata turning Tatooine into a sandbox. They also discuss Revan meeting the in-laws, have a Canon inception, and find discuss why it's the Rakata's fault Anakin fell to the Dark Side.

Knights of the Old Republic, pt. III: Dantooine

Luke and Kelsey help a nice a woman find her sex robot, complain about Revan's lack of a Padawan braid, build their first lightsaber, talk about the importance of Juhani, and hate on the Jedi Council the entire time.

Knights of the Old Republic, pt. II: Taris, the Rescue of Bastila Shan, and the Destruction of Taris

Luke and Kelsey waste time doing side quests, meet 6 of the game's 9 companions, and watch as the Ebon Hawk barely escapes Darth Malak's decimation of Taris.
