when we return to the galaxy far far
away fans were overjoyed to see a number
of references to its long history
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
Star Wars The Force awakens Easter eggs
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at the various Easter eggs in
the first installment of the Star Wars
sequel trilogy that you may have missed
number 10 cameos given the popularity of
the Star Wars franchise it isn’t
surprising that many celebrities wanted
in on the film even if only for a brief
cameo you will remove these restraints
and leave this cell with the door open
it’s pretty well known at this point
that Daniel Craig played the
stormtrooper whom Rey manipulates but
did you know that
unkar plutt the junkyard dealer on jakku
is played by simon pegg one quarter
portion Carrie Fisher’s daughter Billie
lourd also makes an appearance as
lieutenant conics complete with a
hairstyle that would make Princess Leia
proud even Bill Hader gets in on the
action as he helped create the voice for
bb-8 alongside ben schwartz number nine
Rey’s connection to Luke
Ria’s first introduced to the audience
as somewhat of a loner she’s forced to
scavenge for items she can trade for
food and lives in a down atat
one of the more curious items she
possesses is a doll wearing orange and
white clothing the exact colors of a
uniform belonging to an x-wing pilot and
a similar outfit to what Luke wears in a
new hope she also has an old x-wing
fighter pilot helmet which she wears as
she looks longingly at the sky could
these items foreshadow a potential
connection to Luke or at least another
rebel pilot as suggested by the
reference book Star Wars Ray’s Survival
Guide
number eight I got a bad feeling about
this although perhaps not as iconic as I
am your father or may the force be with
you it’s become a bit of a running joke
across star wars films to include a line
of dialogue along the lines of I have a
bad feeling about this I’ve got a bad
feeling about it
variations of the phrase have been said
by multiple characters throughout the
franchise including Anakin and obi-wan
Kenobi I have a bad feeling about this
but it’s most memorably and most often
uttered by Han Solo and sure enough it’s
Han who once again says it in the force
awakens as usual his bad feeling is
warranted he’s just discovered that the
raft ours have been set loose on his
freighter number seven old Ben after
defeating his former apprentice in a
vicious lightsaber duel obi-wan Kenobi
worked with Yoda and Bail Organa to hide
the children of Anakin Skywalker to
protect them from the emperor obi-wan
took Luke to Tatooine and lived nearby
to watch over him to conceal his
identity he ditched the name obi-wan and
called himself simply Ben Ben Ben Kenobi
boy am I glad to see you
of course we learned that kylo Ren’s
real name is Ben solo although it’s
never directly said it’s safe to assume
that han and Leia named their son after
Kenobi too bad he didn’t grow up to do
the name honor number six the Wilhelm
scream
this distinct soundbite has been heard
by many but few know it by name a stock
audio recording of a man screaming that
can be traced back to 1951 it was dubbed
the Wilhelm scream after being applied
to the character private Wilhelm in the
1953 film the charge at Feather River
after he’s been shot with an arrow often
used when a character is killed or badly
wounded it’s been heard in over 360
films including every Star Wars film up
to and including the force awakens it
appears early in the movie when a
stormtrooper is killed by a turbo laser
during the scene when Poe and Finn
escape from the first order number 5 Maz
is flags if we can find it on our
scanners first orders not far behind the
entrance to maz kanata’s cavern is
decorated with all sorts of flags for
the average fan this wouldn’t be
something you’d look twice at for the
super fan however this scene has plenty
of juicy Easter eggs for starters
several of the flags can also be found
in the pod racing scene in the Phantom
Menace furthermore two flags bear the
mythos or skull and clan Fett wheat
insignia both of which are found on Boba
Fett’s armor for the eagle-eyed Star
Wars fan this was a nice nod to a larger
interconnected universe relax kid she’s
run this watering hole for a thousand
years number four fn-2187
submit your blaster for inspection the
new characters are among the strongest
aspects of the force awakens two of our
protagonists Poe and Finn bond early as
they attempt to escape from the first
order its Poe who actually gives Finn
his name as he was originally known only
as fn-2187 his stormtrooper callsign the
number to 187 is the same number as
Princess Leia cell in a new hope George
Lucas initially chose this number
because he was a huge fan of a short
film by Arthur Lipset entitled you
guessed it 2187 talked about a number
with a history three Ewan McGregor and
Alec Guinness one of the more memorable
scenes of the force awakens is when Rey
first comes across Luke’s lightsaber
upon touching it she experiences a force
vision and witnesses several different
scenes in quick succession she also
hears different voices including obi-wan
Kenobi saying ray these are your first
steps
the word ray is actually voiced by the
late Sir Alec Guinness through some
clever editing of previous dialogue
while you and McGregor the man who
portrayed Kenobi in the prequels
actually came in to record the rest of
the lines specifically for the film I
shouldn’t have gone in there
number two Millennium Falcon nostalgia
surely the force awakens not only
features the Millennium Falcon once
again it also gives us several other
throwbacks to the first ever Star Wars
film via the iconic ship for example
Finn accidentally turns on the game we
witness Chewie playing against r2d2 in
the original film known as de jorrick
then also briefly grabs the remote
training ball obi-wan used during Luke’s
first lightsaber lesson before tossing
it aside perhaps the most effective not
however is when Rey and Finn hide under
the floor when the ship is boarded which
is exactly what our heroes did in the
first film where the others where’s the
pilot
I’m the pilot before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions
this is a ship that made the Kessel run
in 14 parsecs
12 niima outpost is that way stay off
Kelvin Ridge number one Starkiller was
Luke’s original name it’s another Death
Star I wish that were the case major
basically the only differences between
the Empire superweapon and the first
order super weapon are the size and the
name rather than simply recreate the
Death Star the first order makes a much
bigger weapon and decides to call it the
star killer base and this is star killer
base
besides sounding pretty awesome the name
star killer actually has another meaning
behind it
it was the original surname George Lucas
intended to give to Luke Skywalker I’m
here to rescue you
of course Lucas would eventually go with
Skywalker instead but this is an
undeniably cool Easter egg and a
fantastic nod to the creative process
that went into making the original Star
Wars films such a hit why don’t we blow
it up there’s always a way to do that do
