Search your game collection, you know them to be awesome...
Quite possibly the biggest entertainment property of all time, Star Wars has infiltrated everything from themed orange packaging (seriously, there are BB-8 ones) to video games, yet it's the latter that comes complete with more easter eggs and references than most.
