6Lego Star Wars Box Art
The Lego series of games goes back almost twenty years at this point. The firstLego Star Warsgame released just beforeRevenge of the Sithall the way back in 2005 (much to dismay of some who had hoped to avoid spoilers), and the series has been a smash hit ever since.
Skywalker Sagacomes seventeen years later, and as a tribute to the game that started it all, the player can find a Lego version of the game’s box art on the first story mission ofThe Phantom Menacein a secluded area.
5A Very Particular Set of Skills
Sometimes, Qui Gon Jin can be heard saying the line “I have a particular set of skills…that will come in handy here” when attempting a puzzle. This is referencing actor Liam Neeson’s famous line from the movieTaken, in which he promises his daughter’s kidnapers that he would utilize his “particular set of skills” to track them down and kill them.

AsTakenis among Neeson’s most well-known works outside theStar Warsfranchise, It’s no wonder that this line made it intoLego Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagaasan Easter egg. It’s a fun reference, and ones that players will most likely appreciate even if they haven’t seenTaken.
4The Ark of the Covenant
Along with the role of Han Solo in Star Wars, Indiana Jones is undoubtedly the most famous role of Harrison Ford’s career, therefore at this point, most fans have come to expect that there be at least one reference to theIndiana Jonesfranchise inSkywalker Saga.Lego Star Wars: The Complete Sagaalso featured Indiana Jones references, including a trailer for Lego Indiana Jones as well as the ability to unlock Indy himself.
TheSkywalker SagaEaster egg can be found in the third major level ofThe Force Awakensin a crate with three symbol buttons on the back. Here’s a tip: try to spell “Ark” with the buttons to open the crate.
3Lego Star Wars 2 Box Art
Just as the first game’s box art appears on the Trade Federation ship inThe Phantom Menace’s first level, the box art forLego Star Wars 2can be found in a secluded area on the Tantive IV duringA New Hope. Lego Star Wars 2was, for many fans, the game that legitimized the Lego Games' formula, proving that there were plenty of not only new directions to take it while maintaining its identity, but improve upon it with each release.

Some of the ways in whichLego Star Wars 2improved upon its predecessor included adding new types of puzzles, characters, and extra features likethe custom character maker. Thus, it is a very important game in the Lego series, and one deserving of this Easter Egg.
2Xenoblade Reference
This Easter egg has an interesting story behind it. A former developer at Traveller’s Tales was a massiveXenoblade Chroniclesfan, and upon hearing that Adam Howden, the voice of Shulk, was providing voice work forLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, he decided to sneak in a little reference toXenobladein the form of the Disco Director.
InSkywalker Saga, there’s a point when the Disco Director will say “I’m really feeling it,” which is a phrase commonly uttered inXenoblade. Shulk in particular is known for saying it due to his appearance inSuper Smash Bros for the Wii U.
1Beaumont’s Second Breakfast
While Dominic Monaghan is unfortunately wasted in the film version ofRise of Skywalker,Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagaat least manages to get a solidLord of the RingsEaster Egg out of his inclusion. Monaghan, in addition for being known for his role as Charlie onLost, is even better known for playing the Hobbit Merry Brandybuck in Peter Jackson’sLOTRtrilogy.

Skywalker Sagareferences this with the Second Breakfast mission, in which Beaumont Kin can be found complaining about General Leia not approving his request for a “second breakfast.” This references a joke fromThe Fellowship of the Ringin which the Hobbits (mostly Pippin) want to stop walking and have a second breakfast, much to Aragorn’s annoyance.
