Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - 17 Easter Eggs, Secrets & References Explained
11. Obi-Wan's Message Is Taken Straight From Rebels
EA
After Cal travels to Bogano with Cere and Greez, and discovers that Eno Cordova has hidden the locations of force sensitive children across the galaxy, Cere actually gives him a holocron to unlock.
Those who've played Fallen Order will understand that holocrons were used to store information, but one thing they may have forgotten is that Obi-Wan Kenobi left behind a message after investigating the Jedi Temple massacre warning other Jedi to go into hiding, and that it too was stored in a holocron. Said message gets played back in Fallen Order, but it's actually a reference to both Episode III and Rebels.
James Arnold Taylor reprises the role of Obi-Wan after voicing him in both the Clone Wars and Rebels, and the audio is an exact repeat of what was seen in the show.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
