I played Jedi Academy years before I ever played swtor, and then after playing swtor as a consular first, I learned that they retroactively made the Jedi Tomb be the resting place of the third Barsen'thor and it's been living rent-free in my head since. I finally went around to reinstalling jedi Academy to go in there once again, with some added new context and to take screenshots throughout the level!
It's definitely a strange feeling to be standing in there again after all those years but now my guy is in there!!! For a 3000 years old tomb, it's in pretty good conditions.

Well, since the lovely @j-restlessgeek asked, here's the storytime of how my family and I got locked up in a castle (under the cut because this is probably going to be long)
(For context - I was about 7-8 years old and my brothers were 6 and 1½).
Okay so, we were visiting a very small village in the mountain, one of those where everyone knows each other and there's basically no signal whatsoever. It was not the first time we were there or anything - we've got family there and we try to visit them at least once a year - but there's a castle there that we always walked by but was always closed, so we got curious to see if it was possible to visit it.
In the morning, my dad went to the town hall to ask, and the Mayor explained that since it was such a small town, lost in the middle of the mountains, no tourists ever came, and it was not that the locals were very interested in visiting a ruined castle, so that was the reason why it was always closed.
He offered to open the door just for us so we could visit it that same afternoon. With no security or anything (again, not that anything was going to happen - plus there's nothing that could be stolen anyway so), they simply opened the gate leading to the castle surroundings and, around the time we were told, my family and I went and found the gate already open.
So, we went inside and visited the castle, walked around, saw the ruins and read the signs that explained the history... Basically the usual stuff you do when you visit a place like that.
When the sun started to set, we decided to get out of there before it got completely dark (once again: small village in the middle of the mountains - there are barely any artificial lights (it's perfect for stargazing without all the light pollution though. I love it!)).
What happened when we got to the fence?? It was closed. And not just closed, but full on locked with a huge lock.
I think some people might have freaked out if they were locked in a castle on top of a mountain with no way to call anyone to help because there's no signal and absolutely no one around, but when we were hit with the realization that we were, in fact, locked in, we started laughing our asses off. We were like "WTF???? 💀"
Fortunately, the fence was not too high. About a reasonable height so that an adult person could climb it with a little effort, the thing was that we were literally two toddlers and an baby.
So what we had to do was that my dad jumped over the fence and my mom, from inside helped my brothers and I jump over as well so that our dad could catch us from the other side. Then I held my baby brother while my dad jumped back inside so he could help my mom get out before he jumped back out himself.
By then it was way too late to go complain to the town hall, so we just went to sleep.
It was hilarious seeing the Mayor's face the next morning as my dad explained to him what happened though. He was like "I did NOT tell them to lock the door 😳" sjjxksvskwhdhfjdvdhs (I think he even invited us to eat or something as an apology? but I'm not completely sure about that tbh lol)
