Star Wars: 10 Insane Easter Eggs You Totally Missed In Rogue One
10. Various Star Wars Rebels Nods
With this particular Star Wars Story going down during the time of a burgeoning Rebellion, many who had been happily taking in the various adventures of Ezra Bridger and the gang spearheading Dave Filoni's Star Wars Rebels animated series were crossing their fingers tightly that at least one cheeky nod to the show would find its way into the live action sphere.
Well, they were in luck.
In the wake of a Rogue One TV spot showcasing what seemed like the appearance of Hera Syndulla's light freighter by the name of Ghost in the flick, the eventual finished article brought even more Rebels fun to the party.
On top of that Ghostly Easter Egg as part of the Rebel Alliance fleet, General Syndulla is summoned to the briefing room over the intercom whilst on Yavin 4, Chopper rocks up for a brief spin in the background, and a Hammerhead Corvette - first used in Canon during Rebels - was used to ram one Imperial Star Destroyer into another late in the day.
And Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi series will likely bring with it even more Rebels references along the way.
