14 Star Wars Original Trilogy Easter Eggs You Need To See

1. Posters In The Tantive IV

We've looked at all manner of easter eggs from throughout Star Wars Trilogy, but the best one comes less than five minutes in. In the cockpit of the Tantive IV, the very first ship we see in the entirety of Star Wars, there's two posters; a universe-breaking one for the film itself and a Playboy centrefold. They're nigh-on impossible to make out in the movie, with everything moving too fast to see properly, but inspection of the original model of the ship verifies that it is indeed there.

Maybe that's why Captain Antilles wasn't able to outrun the Star Destroyer; he was a bit... distracted... Looking at the awesome Star Wars poster of course. It's a sign of how, even in the pre-CGI days, visual effects designers would sneak in little things, even if it was just for their own benefit (without the internet there was never any hope of audiences finding out about them).
