An eagle-eyed Star Wars Outlaws player has noticed an awesome Easter egg in the game, which pays tribute to an iconic scene from A New Hope. While players are still finding everything Star Wars Outlaws has to offer, one player has spotted a neat reference that any fans of A New Hope should be able to instantly recognize.

As with any Star Wars media, Outlaws is filled with small details and references to the wider franchise that fans will absolutely love. These kinds of references make the universe feel incredibly connected. Because it's still early days for the release of Star Wars Outlaws, there are likely a ton of Easter eggs and references that are still yet to be discovered, and gamers will probably be finding them for a little while yet.

Redditor forestfee has noticed that when visiting Mos Eisley Cantina in Star Wars Outlaws, players can see the blaster mark on the wall where Greedo misses Han Solo in A New Hope. This definitely confirms the version where Han shoots first as non-canon - a long-standing debate in the Star Wars fandom. Given Star Wars Outlaws' place on the timeline between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, it makes sense that this would be here, but it's still cool to see it acknowledged by developer Massive Entertainment.

The various locales in Star Wars Outlaws take players back to Mos Eisley, an essential location in the franchise. In a game that explores the grittier side of the Star Wars universe, it's no surprise to see the "wretched hive of scum and villainy" show up again. According to forestfee, there are a few interesting Easter eggs in the Mos Eisley Cantina, including an overheard conversation that mentions the seat where Greedo died is "cursed." Undoubtedly, there are even more small references like this hidden around Tattooine for players to discover.

The initial reactions to Star Wars Outlaws have been mixed. Some feel it strays a little too close to the traditional "Ubisoft formula," although others feel it does enough as an ambitious Star Wars game to stand out from the crowd. It will be interesting to see how much post-launch support there is for Star Wars Outlaws, and it could depend on the game's performance. There are a lot of interesting ideas in Star Wars Outlaws, and hopefully Massive Entertainment is able to support the game long enough for it to reach its full potential.
