00:00You have done well, Lord Vader, and now I sense you wish to continue your search for young Skywalker.

00:08Yes, my master.

00:10Welcome to Mojo Plays, and today we're taking a look at the 10 coolest easter eggs

00:15hidden across the Star Wars games.

00:18Boba! Boba! Look and slip, buddy!

00:33Indiana Jones, Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga.

00:37He has become known as the greatest adventure hero of all time, but next year...

00:48Want to trade your lightsaber for a whip and dusty fedora?

00:51Well, it may sound like an odd choice to make when playing a Star Wars game,

00:54but Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga does have that option.

00:58Yes, you can play as the famed adventurer Indiana Jones,

01:02and it does not require a ton of effort to unlock him.

01:05All you have to do is wander into the bonus room of the cantina

01:08and watch the trailer for Lego Indiana Jones The Original Adventures.

01:12Afterwards, you can purchase him for a somewhat fair price of 50,000 studs.

01:23A high price for a famous head, Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

01:28Last chance, Cage!

01:30Walk away.

01:30One of the coolest parts of Jedi Survivor is the ability to hunt down the bounty hunters.

01:35You have 17 of them to hunt down across a multitude of planets,

01:39and yes, the task may seem daunting to some.

01:42However, there is an unexpected appearance from someone should you take every one of them down.

01:47Upon defeating the final one, the most notorious bounty hunter in the galaxy will arrive.

01:52Sadly, Boba Fett is only here for his cameo and nothing else.

01:56He does say something rather ominous to Cal though,

01:59something that may hint at his return in a future title.

02:03Now it feels good not to be the target for once.

02:05You have no idea how valuable this woman is.

02:10Mara Jade Skywalker, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds.

02:14A long time have I watched the man called Darth Vader from the darkness,

02:19from the shadows of my master's chambers.

02:22At the start of a game, you may have not had much reason to look around the map.

02:26After all, you kind of need units to wander around and explore

02:29to know what's happening in certain areas.

02:31But enter in some specific cheat codes,

02:34and you might be able to spot a mysterious woman in a far-off corner of one of the maps.

02:39This woman is none other than Mara Jade Skywalker,

02:42a Sith who worked for the Empire before defecting and becoming a Jedi Master.

02:47Mara is a character who has only appeared in Star Wars books and radio dramas,

02:52as well as a few non-canon appearances in video games.

02:55Galactic Battlegrounds was one of those rare appearances,

02:58and not only does she narrate Darth Vader's campaign,

03:01she is also a unit you can recruit in custom scenarios.

03:09Guybrush Threepwood, Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2.

03:13But nobody wants to risk lives making small hit-and-run attacks either.

03:18Juno keeps pushing them to do something.

03:21Many Star Wars games pay tribute to various LucasArts properties,

03:24just as we saw with Indiana Jones and LEGO Star Wars.

03:28But one crossover we would have never anticipated was Star Wars and Monkey Island.

03:34In The Force Unleashed 2, you can find a room that houses a few statues

03:38of what appears to be Guybrush Threepwood.

03:41Destroy each statue to make a collectible appear,

03:44grab it, and you will unlock not Guybrush Threepwood, but Guybrush Threepkiller.

03:49Unfortunately, he does not come with any insult saber-dueling skills.

03:58A hair of fame.

04:06Indiana Jones, Monkey Island, what's next, Grim Fandango?

04:10Well, no, but Sam & Max was another legendary LucasArts series that got a special shout-out

04:15from the galaxy far, far away, and across several games.

04:19In Dark Forces, the map of Ice Station Beta is an outline of Max's head.

04:24In Rogue Squadron 3, unlock the, uh, flying Buick?

04:29And see a Max ornament hanging from the rearview mirror.

04:33But Max's most prominent appearance in Star Wars is in Star Wars Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2.

04:40In the fifth level, Baron's Head, the Fallen City,

04:43you may spot a woman leaving from one of the buildings.

04:45If you're fast enough, you can sneak through the door that she left from

04:49and find Max brandishing a pistol.

04:51Talk to him, and he'll assist Kyle Katarn for the remainder of the level.

04:55Just try not to shoot him.

04:57He will retaliate.

05:05Familiar Rooms, Star Wars Battlefront 2.

05:08With all the madness ensuing in a game like Battlefront 2,

05:12you may not have thought to take the time to explore the areas you spawn in,

05:15or areas that are constantly covered in blaster fire.

05:18Battlefront 2 hides a number of rooms that fans of the movies will instantly recognize.

05:23On Naboo, you can find the generator room that leads into the Red Barrier room

05:27where Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul fought.

05:29On Yavin 4, you can visit the room where the Rebels were briefed on the Death Star plan

05:34to destroy the Jedi Order.

05:36You can even walk inside the Interrogation Room from Force Awakens

05:39when playing on the Starkiller map.

05:41There are a few more locations scattered in the game,

05:44so maybe go ahead and boot up Battlefront 2 to try to find the others.

05:48The Hidden Fortress, LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga.

05:53Of course I'm worried, and you should be too.

05:55Let no Calrissian and poor Chewbacca never return from this awful place.

06:01As many of you may know, the Star Wars Star Wars franchise

06:05As many Star Wars fans might know by now,

06:07George Lucas' famed film was inspired by a Japanese movie called The Hidden Fortress,

06:12directed by legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa.

06:16LEGO Skywalker Saga pays tribute to the movie in a cutscene that,

06:19while explicit, can still go over many players' heads.

06:22In the first cutscene from Return of the Jedi,

06:25we see R2-D2 and C-3PO making their way to Jabba's palace.

06:29One shot shows the two in the distance with a skeleton front and center of the frame,

06:33with the skele-man is a flag in Irish text on it,

06:36and when translated, it reads,

06:38Hidden Fortress, with an arrow pointing north.

06:46Veteran Droid, Star Wars Outlaws

06:56While Star Wars Outlaws often strays away from crossing over with other bits of Star Wars media,

07:02there was one line of dialogue that we thought was way too cool not to share.

07:06In one segment later in the game, you'll have to break into an area

07:10inhabited by one of the syndicates.

07:12K talks to ND-5 about possible entry points, and just before they hang up,

07:17ND-5 makes a comment about how he served in a particular event,

07:20one that few Star Wars fans may even know about.

07:24Yes, K. I fought in the Separatist War.

07:28The Separatist War was an event that occurred after the government of Ord Mantle

07:32aligned itself with the Republic.

07:34This part of Star Wars lore has only ever been depicted in the MMO, Star Wars The Old Republic,

07:40and has only ever been mentioned in passing a couple of times

07:43in further updates for the same game and even a book.

07:46So it's kind of shocking that Ubisoft would throw a reference to something this obscure into Outlaws.

07:53How does that sound?

07:56Hazard pay, huh? How dangerous is this mission, exactly?

08:00THX. Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds.

08:03One of George Lucas's very first works was a short film he made as a student

08:08called Electronic Labyrinth THX 1138-4EB, a mouthful of a title that would go on to

08:15serve as the name of audio production house THX, which was co-founded by Lucas.

08:19A plethora of Star Wars media have paid tribute to this short in some form or another,

08:24and Galactic Battlegrounds is pretty explicit with theirs.

08:27When selecting a unit of stormtroopers, there's a chance they will respond with

08:32THX 1138 ready. Stormtrooper ready.

08:35But you want to know the craziest easter egg in all of Star Wars gaming truly is?

08:41Jar Jar Incarbonite. Star Wars The Force Unleashed.

08:46I should have expected the Emperor would send an assassin. It's a coward's tactic.

08:51We all know the ultimate truth as to how the events of Star Wars transpired in the first place.

08:56We know the cause. We know the plague that is Jar Jar Binks.

09:01Well, it turns out the Gungan got his just desserts during Order 66,

09:06as evident by his appearance in The Force Unleashed.

09:09While exploring the Kashyyyk hunting lodge, take a close look at the displays.

09:14One of them is of a Gungan frozen in carbonite, and judging from that expression,

09:19it's safe to assume we all know who that is. He had it coming.

09:23We all know Jar Jar Binks is a Sith Lord, and ladies and gentlemen, we got him.

09:28Were you able to spot any of these for yourself? Was there one we might have missed?

09:32I'll just leave you two to talk this out.

09:35Let us know down in the comments below,
