INFO: 7 “STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER” EASTER EGGS YOU MIGHT’VE MISSED

Sure, you may have already seen Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in theaters. You may have even seen it twice! But we bet you haven’t caught all of these incredible Easter Eggs hiding in the film. Let’s find out how many you noticed in the final entry in the Skywalker Saga…

THE GHOST FROM STAR WARS REBELS IS IN THE END BATTLE SCENE

This. Is. So. Cool!! There are over 14,000 starships in the big arrival shot of the galaxy coming to the rescue over the skies of Exegol, and the legendary Ghostship from Star Wars Rebels is with them! The Ghost joining the Resistance in the epic final battle? Talk about awesome.

WEDGE ANTILLES IS IN THE END BATTLE SCENE FLYING WITH LANDO

We thought he looked familiar! Luke Skywalker’s old flying buddy Wedge Antilles is still around rebelling against the evils in the Galaxy. Seeing him joining the cause with Lando was a true stand up and cheer moment.

JOHN WILLIAMS PLAYS OMA TRES, A KIJIMI BARTENDER

All hail the maestro himself! The inimitable John Williams, composer of all nine Skywalker Saga films, finally appears on screen as a bearded bartender on the planet Kijimi. You can spot him right before Rey, Finn and Poe enter Babu Frik’s shop. Also, if you rearrange the name “Oma Tres,” you can spell “Maestro”!

RADIOHEAD PRODUCER NIGEL GODRICH PLAYS FN-2802

Talk about a cameo that ROCKS! We’ll be keeping our ears tuned to hear Nigel on our next re-watch.

ONE OF THE ENVIRONMENTS THAT POE DAMERON LIGHTSPEED-SKIPS TO IS BASED ON RALPH MCQUARRIE’S ARTWORK DONE IN THE 1990S FOR A BOOK PROJECT, THE ILLUSTRATED STAR WARS UNIVERSE.

Ralph McQuarrie was instrumental in creating the look and feel of a galaxy far, far away. It’s so cool to see his work is still inspiring the new movies! Keep your eyes peeled during this scene and see if you can spot the McQuarrie-inspired section!

AMONG THE DROIDS IN BABU FRIK’S WORKSHOP IS AN OLD BATTLE DROID AS SEEN IN STAR WARS: EPISODE I – THE PHANTOM MENACE

Is there literally any creature better than Babu Frik? Nope! The feisty little cutie also has a unique and impressive collection in his shop. Did you spot one of the old clankers from the Clone Wars days?

ED SHEERAN PLAYS THIS ALIEN MEMBER OF THE RESISTANCE

We’re in love with the shape of you, Ed Sheeran alien.

Yep, these Easter Eggs are truly epic. We can’t wait to head back to the theater and spot every single one – and enjoy the movie again, too!

About the Author: DBTN - FOUNDER, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF DBTN

My enthusiasm for all things Disney all started when my parents took our family to WDW for a vacation. My first trip was at age 13. Since that first time, I have made a trip to WDW almost every year from age 13. As far as I knew there was only one place to vacation! My fascination with WDW began on that first trip. I wanted to know how things at WDW operated and what made it so magical. I wanted to know details like how many people worked there and the length of the monorail track. It is that fascination that fueled my interest in WDW. Each year that my family vacationed at WDW, I learned more about WDW as they built more parks and added more attractions. I am not the average fan; I want to know all the details and I love researching the facts of WDW. I research facts through the Internet, books and DVDs. To me, the best part is to conduct research trip at WDW. After college, my father was transferred to Orlando and I moved with my parents. Seeking employment, I applied for a job at WDW. I passed the first rounds of interviews and was proud to join the Disney family as a security cast member! The job was great. It included Disney-specific training and security training before assuming four duties: driving a security vehicle, standing a post, working in a resort or walking a park or other area. Sometimes I even had special duties like working the Epcot Christmas Processional. I would escort the celebrity guests from backstage to onstage. Interestingly, every cast member is given a WDW fact book monthly to aid in answering guest questions. The pocket book contained great Disney facts that added more fuel for my thirst of Disney facts. Well, all-good things must come to end so we moved back to NJ. In the summer of 2010 I moved back to Florida I am now living in Orlando less then 15 minutes from WDW and living the dream and have fun along the way. Favorite Park – Magic Kingdom Favorite Character – Mickey Mouse Favorite restaurant – California Grill Favorite attraction – Toy Story Mania Favorite resort – Bay Lake Tower / Contempoary First time at a disney park – 1976 & have been every year since Who was on your first disney trip – My entire family Favorite disney memory – My first trip and my first trip with my kids How far do you live from disney now – 15 minutes When is your next Disney trip? – every weekend Favorite Disney Movie – Jungle Book & Toy Story
