Easter Eggs of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge – An Exhaustive Guide to Hidden References, In-Jokes, and Hidden Mickeys

Now that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has been open to guests (who have pre-booked reservations) for a full week at Disneyland, we’ve had some time to explore the amazingly detailed new land and drink in many of the intricate design elements, taking note of any hidden (and sometimes not-so-hidden) references or in-jokes we spotted along the way.

With that in mind, it’s time to begin putting together an ever-growing list of these clever allusions to both Star Wars and Disney theme park history, a task that may never be fully complete, considering Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is essentially constructed from the ground up with wall-to-wall Easter Eggs. My plan is to regularly update this list from my own observations and via information we receive from the community.

RESISTANCE BASE

  • GNK power droids – Two of these droids, which first appeared in the original Star Wars film (Episode IV: A New Hope), are tending to an antenna just outside the entrance to Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Their footprints can also be seen along the paths in Galaxy’s Edge.
  • A-Wing Starfighter – The A-Wing first appeared as used by the Rebel Alliance in Return of the Jedi, but the version parked here is the updated RZ-2 A-Wing interceptor used by the Resistance in their battle against the First Order.
  • X-Wing Starfighter – Again, the X-Wing was first used by the Rebellion in A New Hope, but the full-size model in the land is the later T-70 model used in the sequel trilogy.
  • Tactical screen – At the entrance to Rise of the Resistance stands one of these transparent strategic boards we’ve seen both the Rebellion and Resistance use in the movies.
  • Turret – The anti-aircraft turret that marks the entrance to Rise of the Resistance resembles ones used by the Rebel Alliance on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back.
  • Macrobinoculars – This device, first used by Luke Skywalker in A New Hope, is on display above the Resistance Supply gift shop.
  • R2-D2 footprints – Walt Disney Imagineering used an original 1976 Star Wars production R2 model’s feet to created the “roll marks” on the ground.
  • Gungan footprints – A member of the species native to Naboo (first appeared in Episode I: The Phantom Menace) has been walking around near the Resistance base.
  • Creature noises – If you stand in this wilderness area long enough, you will hear the sounds of Star Wars critters both large and small moving through the brush.
  • Chewbacca – The most famous Wookiee from many Star Wars films regularly appears in this area, trying to fix the X-Wing and posing for photos with guests.
  • Rey – This Jedi-in-training and hero of the Resistance (first appeared in The Force Awakens) wanders her way through the base area and into Black Spire Outpost.
  • Vi Moradi – Known by the codename Starling, this Resistance spy was enlisted by General Leia Organa to seek out a new base on Batuu. She first appeared in the Phasma novel and will be the protagonist in Galaxy’s Edge: Black Spire, coming this August from the same author.

THE MARKETPLACE

  • Monolith – ?????
  • Dianoga – This creature, first spotted in the Death Star trash compactor in A New Hope, pops up in the water filtration tanks above the Marketplace’s water fountains.
  • Wood carvings – In one corner of the Marketplace, a craftsperson has created representations of a Porg, an Ithorian, a Loth-cat, the Jedi Order insignia, a Wookiee, and a Pelikki. Whoever made these sculptures also appears to have used an astromech droid without a dome as a kiln for metalwork.

TOYDARIAN TOYMAKER

  • Kids’ speeders – Sort of like Power Wheels for Star Wars, there’s a few child-size Landspeeders and Speeder Bikes on display outside the shop. One of them is the same model of M-68 Landspeeder Han steals at the beginning of Solo: A Star Wars Story.
  • Sign – Toydarian is the name of the species of the character Watto from The Phantom Menace. The one depicted on the sign outside is the shop’s owner, Zabaka. You can see Zabaka working in silhouette through the window at the back left hand side of the store.
  • Obi Wan vs. Darth Vader puppets – Two marionettes represent the duel aboard the Death Star between the former master and apprentice in A New Hope.
  • Rocking Fathier – A rideable children’s version of the lovable animal from Canto Bight in The Last Jedi.

  • Jabba’s Sail Barge – A toy version of the Hutt’s favorite form of transportation from Return of the Jedi rests on a shelf above the merchandise, accompanied by a Jawa Sandcrawler from A New Hope, numerous characters from Tatooine, and even Naboo Starfighters from The Phantom Menace.
  • Wooden Stormtrooper Doll – Owned by a young Jyn Erso in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
  • Plushes – Stuffed toys of First Order Stormtroopers, Lando Calrissian, Ahsoka Tano, Wicket W. Warrick, Watto, Chewbacca, Porgs, Kylo Ren, Rey, Yoda, Finn, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Jabba the Hutt, and (most obscurely) a Tooka doll from The Clone Wars are all available in the shop.
  • Wooden figures – Boba Fett, Admiral Ackbar, Stormtroopers, Darth Vader, and C-3PO.
  • Instruments – Toy versions of the Ewok drums from Return of the Jedi and the exotic musical instruments used by Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes (AKA the Cantina Band) from A New Hope are up for purchase, plus noise makers shaped to look like the frog-dog from Jabba’s Palace and a Convor from The Clone Wars.
  • Dejarik – The game first seen played in holographic form aboard the Millennium Falcon in A New Hope (and later/earlier in physical form in Rogue One) is available as a very nice board made to look as though it was carved from a tree trunk.
  • Sabacc – While this card game was part of the Star Wars Expanded Universe for a long time, it wasn’t seen played on the big screen until Solo.
  • Chance cubes – Watto used one of these in his bet with Qui-Gon Jinn in The Phantom Menace.

  • Eyeballs in cage – If you look up while shopping in the Creature stall, you’ll see that the ceiling is lined with dozens of cages. One of them has eyeballs that will blink, stare you down, and move around.
  • Leaf in cage – Another cage has a leaf sticking out of it that will move around as though the creature inside is eating it.

  • Dex’s Diner – An item on this food stall’s menu claims it was made famous by this eatery first featured in Attack of the Clones.

THE JEWELS OF BITH

  • Black Spire Outpost merchandise – This is the only place to shop if you’re looking for souvenirs with the name of the city or Batuu on them, but you won’t find anything that says “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.” That you’ll have to find off-planet.
  • Sign – The sign outside this shop is in the shape of a Bith head, the same species that made up the Cantina Band in A New Hope.

RONTO ROASTERS

BLACK SPIRE OUTPOST STREETS

DOK-ONDAR’S DEN OF ANTIQUITIES

  • Blue Snaggletooth – The ashes of an alien named Zutton (visible in the Cantina in A New Hope) lie in an urn behind the shop’s central counter. The blue color of the urn is an in-joke referencing an error in Kenner’s original Star Wars action figure toy line.

SAVI’S WORKSHOP

  • Lightsabers – An elegant weapon, from a more civilized age. At least one has appeared in every Star Wars movie so far.

DROID DEPOT

  • C-3PO – Pick up a two-foot-tall talking toy of the cantankerous protocol droid who first appeared in A New Hope and is in almost every Star Wars movie since.
  • THX 1138 – In one of Galaxy’s Edge’s most clever Easter Eggs, the droid parts on the upper conveyor belt are spaced out in batches of 1, 1, 3, and 8, repeating the pattern over and over again. This of course is a reference to THX 1138, George Lucas’s first feature as a director based on a short he made in film school.
  • Restraining bolt – You can buy a refrigerator magnet of this device removed from Artoo by Luke in A New Hope.
  • Droid serving tray – You can purchase this accessory for your buildable Astromech unit, and it’s very similar to the one Artoo wears on Jabba’s Sail Barge in Return of the Jedi.
  • KX-series droid – A Imperial security droid from the same series as Rogue One’s K2-SO is behind a cage in the Droid Depot with a few other familiar robotic faces.

  • Green Milk – Luke drank this straight out of a Thalia-Siren sea creature on the planet Ahch-To in The Last Jedi.

FIRST ORDER CARGO

  • TIE Echelon – A new ship created for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, in the tradition of the Empire and First Order’s TIE Fighters, TIE Bombers, TIE Interceptors, TIE Strikers, and so on.
  • Stormtroopers – These white-armored enforcers patrol the streets of Black Spire Outpost, and first appeared on-screen in The Force Awakens, though their design is an evolution of the Imperial Stormtroopers first seen in A New Hope.
  • Kylo Ren – Formerly named Ben Solo, the son of Han and Leia turned to the dark side during his training with uncle Luke Skywalker. He first appeared in The Force Awakens and will emerge from the TIE Echelon every so often to interact with guests.

OGA’S CANTINA

  • Droid detector – Outside the entrance is the same device we see in the Mos Eisley Cantina in A New Hope, which is set off by C-3PO and R2-D2, prompting the bartender to yell “We don’t serve their kind here!”
  • DJ R3X – One of the best and most fleshed-out Easter Eggs in Galaxy’s Edge is DJ R3X (formerly known as RX-24), who used to work as a Starspeeder pilot not too far away from where Batuu sits right now. Sitting in Oga’s Cantina and listening to R3X spin his tunes and make wisecracks between songs may provide more Star Wars and Star Tours references and in-jokes than we could possibly have room for here.
  • Worrt – In cages above the bar are more of the frog we saw back in the Creature Stall, but this time his eggs are flowing down tubes to be used as boba in one of the drinks. Gross…?
  • Spiran Caf – This drink first in Rebels and is available during breakfast hours at Oga’s Cantina.
  • Moogan – A sentient species from The Clone Wars whose tea is served here.
  • Tarine tea – This esoteric drink has only been mentioned in a handful of ancillary Star Wars stories and novels, starting with a booklet included in the 1994 TIE Fighter PC game from LucasArts.
  • Hyperdrive – The method by which ships in Star Wars go to light speed. Namesake of a punch. Get it?
  • Jabba – The Hutt gangster from Return of the Jedi gets an alcohol-free juice named after him in Oga’s.
  • Blurrg – Another lizard-like beast of burden. This one is from The Clone Wars and has a drink named after it.
  • Carbon Freeze – Kind of insensitive to name a drink after the freezing process that put Han Solo into hibernation in The Empire Strikes Back, isn’t it?
  • Dagobah – The planet where Yoda went into hiding after the rise of Emperor Palpatine. First seen in The Empire Strikes Back. Has a drink named after it.
  • Jedi Mind Trick – It won’t work on Hutts or Toydarians, but the drink named after it will probably work on you.
  • Bespin – Planetary home of Cloud City, where Lando Calrissian is Administrator in The Empire Strikes Back. Has a fizzy drink named after it.
  • T-16 Skyhopper – Luke Skywalker’s personal airspeeder on Tatooine. He plays with a toy of one in A New Hope and bullseyes Womprats with it off-screen. Has a drink named after it.
  • Jet Juice – An alcoholic beverage first mentioned in the current-canon novel Lost Stars.
  • The Outer Rim – A sparsely populated region of the galaxy, where Batuu happens to lie. Has a drink named after it.
  • Yub Nub – Title of the song that the Ewoks originally sang at the end of Return of the Jedi, though it was replaced by a more sweeping ditty in the movie’s Special Edition. Fortunately there’s now a drink named after it.
  • Gold Squadron – Call sign for the Rebel Alliance Y-Wing group at the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope. Has a beer named after it.
  • Bad Motivator – A line of dialogue spoken by Luke about the poor broken droid R5-D4 in A New Hope, which, unsurprisingly at this point, has a beer named after it.
  • Spice Runner – Han Solo’s sometimes occupation before he joins the Rebel Alliance. Has a hard cider named after it.
  • More drinks named after things – There are plenty more Star Wars-inspired beverages to imbibe at Oga’s, but if the reference was something I already covered in one of the areas above, I skipped it.
  • Tap handles – Follow along the back of the bar to catch some cool references tied in with the above listed drinks. There are handles made from a lightsaber hilt, a starfighter joystick, Yoda’s Gimer Stick, a bone from the Rancor Pit, and more.

MILLENNIUM FALCON: SMUGGLERS RUN

  • Millennium Falcon – She’ll make point five past light speed, kid. And she’s hard to miss in front of Docking Bay 5. First appeared in A New Hope, and then half a dozen more Star Wars movies after that.
  • Hondo Ohnaka – This Weequay pirate voiced by Jim Cummings of Winnie the Pooh fame first appeared in The Clone Wars animated series, but has since popped up in many other in-canon media, most notably Star Wars Rebels. Hondo enlists you on your quest to fly the Millennium Falcon.
  • R5-P8 – This Astromech member of Hondo’s pirate gang also shows up in the Smugglers Run queue.

  • Laser canon – A large AG-2G quad laser canon (similar to the ones mounted on the top and bottom of the Millennium Falcon) can be spotted resting in the queue area.
  • “I have a bad feeling about this.” / “Boring conversation anyway.” – Hondo probably-unknowingly quotes two famous lines familiar to any Star Wars fan during his pre-show speech to prospective crew members.
  • Luke’s training helmet – With the blast shield down, he can’t see. Used during the flight to Alderaan in A New Hope. Stored above the Dejarik table in the Falcon’s hold before you enter the ride.
  • Porg nests – Those pesky birds have made the Millennium Falcon their home since The Last Jedi, and have apparently spread out into the Smugglers Run queue as well.
  • Han and Leia’s hallway kiss spot – Now you can the famous “I’ve isolated the reverse power flux coupling!” scene from The Empire Strikes Back.
  • Ladder to the Falcon’s blaster cannons – Look behind you as you approach the cockpit.
  • Hidden Mickey – Yup, there’s another one made out of bolts on a monitor in one of the Falcon’s hallways.
  • Rathtar frozen in Carbonite – spot the once-fearsome creature from The Force Awakens now rendered inert along one of the walls at the attraction’s underground exit.
  • Corellia – During your mission flying the Falcon, you travel to Han Solo’s home planet, which was first mentioned in A New Hope.
  • Coaxium – The Star Wars hyperfuel that first appeared on-screen in Solo is the target of your quest.
  • Starspeeder 1000 – The ship most famously used by the Star Tours travel agency can be spotted leaving Black Spire Outpost upon your return to Batuu near the end of the ride.

As noted at the top, this list will be continually updated as we discover more references and Easter Eggs throughout Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Thanks to the contributors of a few items so far: @jimbishopjr, @Figment_Jedi and @mewhunter67.
