10 Easter Eggs In Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker That You May’ve Missed

Wicket’s Back

As soon as we saw the wreckage of the Death Star in the trailers, fans were sure we’d be returning to Endor in Rise. When its remains were revealed to have crashed on a different planet in the Endor system, though, this appeared to not be the case. But Abrams pulled a late-in-the-day visit to the moon in the movie, which also saw the return of the Ewoks.

Once the Emperor is defeated and his fleet of Star Destroyers destroyed, we cut to a couple of familiar locations to see their inhabitants celebrating. One of them is Cloud City on Bespin, revisiting the floating city that used to be under Lando’s jurisdiction, introduced in The Empire Strikes Back. 

More notably, though, we drop in on the forests of Endor where Wicket the Ewok briefly shows up. That’s Warwick Davis reprising his first ever Star Wars role from Return of the Jedi, the role that launched his career. With Wicket is Pommet, who we can presume is Wicket’s son – because he’s played by Davis’ own son, Harrison.
