Easter eggs are a staple of modernStar Wars. With a universe as vast asStar Wars, creators often have free rein to drop in whatever references to they’d like into their TV shows, movies, or games, with it often conflicting very little with the main plot. While somerecent pieces ofStar Warsmediahave strayed a little too far into the realm of references and fan-service, the majority ofStar Warscanon tends to offer just a handful of nods to the rest of the universe, andStar Wars Jedi: Survivorcertainly belongs to the latter camp.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivorfeatures references and Easter eggs from across the entirecanonStar Warstimeline, ranging from High Republic-era references to the Clone Wars and beyond. But by far some of the most rewarding Easter eggs inStar Wars Jedi: Survivorare those that aren’t made overtly clear to the player, letting long-time fans relish in their own discovery. And one of the biggest areasJedi: Survivormanages to achieve this in is its customization.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Includes Some Great References to Past Star Wars Games
WhileStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderfeatured a decent level of customization, letting players choose Cal’s poncho type, BD-1’s design, and the Mantis' paint job,Star Wars Jedi: Survivorblows it out of the water almost immediately.Star Wars Jedi: Survivorlets players customize multiple aspects ofCal Kestis' appearance, from his hairstyle and bear type to his jacket, undershirt, and pants. BD-1 features a similar level of customization, with his Photoreceptors, chassis, sensor, and legs all being customizable. Lightsaber customization is back in full force as well, with every individual component of the lightsaber being interchangeable, along with the blade color. And finally, Cal’s new blaster can also be customized with a range of different barrels, grips, and triggers.
The vast majority ofStar Wars Jedi: Survivor’s unlockable cosmetics can be found by exploring each of the game’s planets, and discovering all the locked chests hidden around their open-ended levels. But that’s not the only way players can find cosmetics. There are a handful of shops inStar Wars Jedi: Survivor, most of which are located inRambler’s Ranch on Koboh. Though most of these shops specialize in upgrades for Cal’s arsenal, a few will contain unique materials, paint jobs, and other cosmetic types, and Doma’s Shop features two of the best Easter eggs in the entire game.
Available for a handful of Priorite Shards each, Doma sells a small range of outfits in her shop, two of which long-timeStar Warsfans will likely immediately recognize. The “Outrider” outfit features a sleeveless, ribbed leather jacket that is extremely reminiscent of Dash Rendar’s own smuggling outfit, the main protagonist of1996’sShadows of the Empire, and the pilot of the modified Corellian YT-2400 freighter nicknamed The Outrider. The other outfit, a jacket simply titled “Bandolier,” is a little more subtle, but upon equipping the shoulder-mounted armor, fans will notice that it closely resembles belovedJedi Knightprotagonist Kyle Katarn’s outfit, especially with a tan shirt underneath.
WhileStar Wars Jedi: Survivoris filled with references and Easter eggs to the entireStar Warstimeline, these two costumes are some of the most special in the entire game, with it feeling like Respawn paying homage to two classicStar Warstitles that clearly inspired a lot of its ownStar Warsvideo game series. And thoughShadows of the EmpireandJedi Knightmight seem a little dated now all these years later, there’s no denying how influential they were at the time, with the former being the first 3DStar Warsgame and the latter setting the bar for lightsaber combat.
