We continue our episode Easter egg breakdown series for Star Wars Resistance with its latest entry, “The Engineer”. Season 2, Episode 5 featured seven Easter eggs/Star Wars franchise references, making it the most nostalgic episode of the show’s second season.
Most of the items of note are references, and two of them are references to Resistance moments, but there are two concrete eggs as well, so it was a good episode for providing callbacks to other Star Wars properties.
You can see the seven moments of note below!
Star Wars Resistance: The Engineer Easter Eggs And References
