Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 30 Easter Eggs & References You Need To See

29. Rey's Look

While it was pointed out very quickly after her first appearance in the trailers that Rey's goggles are a direct (and possibly telling) parallel of Kylo Ren's eyewear, Rey's scavenger outfit actually owes more to the Original Trilogy, rather than new canon additions. Her outfit is very clearly a reference to some of Ralph McQuarrie's early concept designs for Luke - which is particularly clear int he goggles and the way the costume is layered.
There's also something of Luke's outfit from the first movie in there to foreshadow the conclusion everyone is making about her parentage by the end.
