Easter egg (virtual)

Santa Claus, a hidden treat in the LEGO Star Wars game series A digital Easter egg is a concealed message or element within media like films, books, CDs, DVDs, or software. The phrase mirrors the Easter egg hunt tradition in Western countries and much of Europe. It's thought its use outside of actual Easter eggs started with the film The Return of the Living Dead, where a military figure uses it as a code for misplaced U.S. government containers filled with zombies resulting from a chemical leak. Just like the one above!

At times, an Easter egg might be a subtle cameo, such as the Children of the Green Planet and the Millennium Falcon showing up in the prequel trilogy. Some, like the former, are deemed non-canon because they clash with many aspects of Star Wars lore. The numbers 1138 and 327, the line "I have a bad feeling about this," and named Tuckerizations can also be seen as Easter eggs.
