Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker - Every Easter Egg & Reference You Must See

23. 42 Years

A New Hope Star Wars
Lucasfilm

When Rey and co. end up on Pasana, C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) notes that the planet is in the middle of a festival celebration which only occurs once every 42 years.

This is a clear reference to the legacy of Star Wars itself, which of course started 42 years ago with the release of A New Hope in 1977. Cute.
