Easter Eggs |
Ah easter eggs, if it wasn't for these, what would people with WAY to much time on their hands do? Most game programmers still like to hide little things around the game that serve no purpose and have no meaning other then being there.
=======================================================================
Republic Commando Helmet |
- Location: Tie Fighter Factory, inside the first Final Assembly area.
- How-to:
Build up at least 5 boxes using Grip to reach the overhang.
- Notes:
This helmet is very clearly a Commando helmet from another LucasArts game, Republic Commando.
Bridge of a Start Destroyer |
- Location: Raxus Prime
- How-to:
As soon as the level starts, turn about and go to the edge of the platform and look down. You can see the shield generators of the Destroyer, which are completely disproportionate in size when compared to you.
X-wing |
- Location: Raxus Prime, in the sludge at the start
- How-to:
Near the crack you're forming in the wall, look in the sludge for something to target. Grip and pull up.
Notes:
It is NOT a Z-95 Headhunter! The wings and cockpit are totally different! This most likely represents Yoda pulling Luke's X-wing out of the swamp.
Subject 1138 |
- Location: The Emperical, as you enter the Research Room
- How-to:
Walk in the room and have your speakers on.
- Notes:
The hidden number 1138 is in many of George Lucas's movies and games, it's nod to the first film he ever made, THX-1138. The letters THX also appear in many of his films as well, but aren't as prolific as the numbers.
Jar-Jar Binks Frozen in Carbonite |
- Location: Imperial Kashyyyk, Trophy Room
- How-to:
Look on the wall beside the door.
- Notes:
George Lucas does have a heart! For those of you who actually LIKED Jar-Jar, I suppose you can make the case of “it's just a generic Gungan”
Gorax |
- Location: Imperial Kashyyyk, Trophy Room
- How-to:
Look on a high pedestal near the Krayt Dragon head. You can barely see it, you'll have to use Grip to get it in better light.
- Notes:
Gorax make their home on Endor (though it may not be their homeworld) and are a living terror that hunt Ewoks. They made their first appearance in the kids show Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, where he plays the main antagonist.
The Millenium Falcon |
- Location: Imperial Raxus Prime, after crossing the small broken bridge, but before the bridge made out of a piece of steel girder
- How-to:
Go over to the edge of the area, past the girder bridge, and look in the junk pile.
- Notes:
Unlike the X-wing before it, this one you can argue is a YT-1300 Corellian Freighter, the original model of the Falcon before all of it's customizations.
Wilhelm Scream |
- Location: Imperial Raxus Prime, when you steal the Dropship
- How-to:
Activate the cutscene and turn on your speakers
- Notes:
The Wilhelm Scream is one of the most recognizable clichéd sound effects in the film industry. It got it's start in 1951 in the movie Distant Drums. It was first put into Star Wars by the sound designer Ben Burtt, who found the original reel (labled “man getting eaten by alligator”). It's named after the person who emitted the scream in the movie The Charge at Feather River. It has made an appearance in almost every Star Wars media since.
