The STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Trailer Featured An Ingenious Nod To RETURN OF THE JEDI
Some eagle-eyed fans have noticed that the amazing new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi featured a huge nod to a key moment in Return of the Jedi and you can find that Easter Egg after the jump...
The final trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi was nothing short of amazing. We've already combed through it to take a closer look at the five biggest questions it raises but did you notice a very specific Easter Egg referencing Return of the Jedi? In that movie, a stray blaster shot on Jabba the Hutt's barge scorched Luke Skywalker's robotic hand and if you look closely, the damage can still be seen there.
Luke clearly hasn't replaced his hand in the years which have passed since Darth Vader cut it off but the fate of his green lightsaber remains a mystery. Either way, this is a very cool reference to the past.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is shaping up to be something truly special and references like these are something fans of the franchise will definitely appreciate. How many more of these we'll get remains to be seen but when you take into account the fact that there are decades worth of history for this new trilogy to fill in, you can almost guarantee that there will be plenty. Did you spot this Easter Egg?
