Fallout 4 Player Discovers Tiny Star Wars Easter Egg After Years Of Playing

Summary Fallout 4's post-apocalyptic Wasteland holds hidden gems for explorers beyond main quests or side quests.

Star Wars Easter eggs in the game include a miniature Han Solo in Carbonite and a buried X-Wing.

References to other media like Jaws, Titanic, and Edgar Allan Poe can also be found in Fallout 4.

When not following Fallout 4's main story or one of its many side quests, there's still plenty to discover when exploring its post-apocalyptic Wasteland. From areas of the map they may not have needed to venture to as part of the main story to a variety of new items, players are still finding new things, even after years of playing.

This was the case with Redditor Sensitive_Underwear, who found a cool reference to Star Wars when visiting the disciples' base atop Fizztop Mountain. As shown in a clip shared to the r/fo4 Subreddit, a miniature version of Han Solo trapped in Carbonite - as he was at the end of The Empire Strikes Back and the beginning of Return of the Jedi - can be spotted by some cinder blocks surrounding an abandoned campfire.

The disciples' base in Fizztop Mountain is unlocked as part of Fallout 4's Nuka-World DLC.

Fallout 4 Has Other Star Wars Easter Eggs

The Game Is Full Of References To Other Media

Fallout 4 is full of Easter eggs referencing other Bethesda titles such as Skyrim, as well as all kinds of other media, from a dolphin attack resembling the final showdown with the shark from Jaws to Jack and Rose's bodies atop a door, referencing the ending to Titanic, and even a nod to Edgar Allan Poe's short story, The Cask of Amontillado. The Han Solo Easter egg isn't the only nod to Star Wars in the game, however.

As noted by garage_trader, there is a buried X-Wing in Nordhagen Beach, resembling Luke's crashed ship on Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back. Due to how this is not only mostly submerged in the ground but also covered in vegetation, this can easily be missed, even for those who frequent the area to establish a settlement there, as is evident by the responses from fellow players who have invested hundreds of hours into the game and never realized it was there.

One slightly more obvious reference is a Covert Operations Manual reading "Not the soldiers you're looking for" as a reference to Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi mind trick in Star Wars: A New Hope where he tells a Stormtrooper, "These are not the droids you're looking for."

Some of Codsworth's recognized player character names are "Han" and "Solo", further referencing the scoundrel-turned-hero.

While some may have already discovered these kinds of Easter eggs, it's a testament to just how much there is to see and do in Bethesda's RPGs that players are still able to stumble across things that are new to them years after they first started playing the game, especially with Fallout 4 being a decade-old as of next November.
