Since the release of Star Wars on the big screen and following its several prequels and sequels, many fans of the film have made it a point to dot their own shows, games, movies or any other form of media with Star Wars "easter eggs". Much like Disney's knack for injecting past and future film characters across all their feature films, so are there hidden Star Wars jewels. Here are some notable examples.

Star Trek
Even before J.J. Abrams was asked to direct The Force Awakens, he had already shown his love for the franchise. In the 2009 reboot of Star Trek, eagle-eyed fans caught sight of a familiar drone among the debris of the Starfleet floating past the USS Enterprise.
Final Fantasy
There have been plenty of releases for this game and they are not always connected but some have recurring character names like Biggs and Wedge. They are minor characters that always appear as a pair in some Final Fantasy titles. Aside from being an inseparable duo in the Square Enix games, they are also part of Luke Skywalker's Red Squadron in Episode 4.

Indiana Jones
In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Stephen Spielberg planted two famous characters from the Star Wars universe into hieroglyphics. The bickering duo, C-3PO and R2-D2 make their appearance as carvings on the wall, just as Indiana Jones retrieves the Ark of the Covenant. In Temple of Doom, another easter egg makes way to the big screen; this time it’s an establishment called Club Obi Wan.
