Summary
When not followingFallout 4’s main story or one of its many side quests, there’s still plenty to discover when exploring its post-apocalyptic Wasteland. From areas of the map they may not have needed to venture to as part of the main story to a variety of new items, players are still finding new things, even after years of playing.
This was the case with RedditorSensitive_Underwear, who found a cool reference toStar Warswhen visiting the disciples' base atop Fizztop Mountain. As shown in a clip shared to the r/fo4 Subreddit, a miniature version of Han Solo trapped in Carbonite - as he was at the end ofThe Empire Strikes Backand the beginning ofReturn of the Jedi- can be spotted by some cinder blocks surrounding an abandoned campfire.
The disciples' base in Fizztop Mountain is unlocked as part ofFallout 4’sNuka-WorldDLC.
10 Weirdest & Strangest Fallout 4 Side Quests That You May Have Missed
Fallout 4 has tons of places to explore and side quests to keep players busy, and some of them can end up being truly bizarre experiences.
Fallout 4 Has Other Star Wars Easter Eggs
The Game Is Full Of References To Other Media
Fallout 4is full of Easter eggsreferencing other Bethesda titles such asSkyrim, as well as all kinds of other media, from a dolphin attack resembling the final showdown with the shark fromJawsto Jack and Rose’s bodies atop a door, referencing the ending toTitanic, and even a nod to Edgar Allan Poe’s short story,The Cask of Amontillado.The Han Solo Easter egg isn’t the only nod toStar Warsin the game, however.
As noted bygarage_trader,there is a buried X-Wing in Nordhagen Beach, resembling Luke’s crashed ship on Dagobah inThe Empire Strikes Back. Due to how this is not only mostly submerged in the ground but also covered in vegetation, this can easily be missed, even for those who frequent the area to establish a settlement there, as is evident by the responses from fellow players who have invested hundreds of hours into the game and never realized it was there.
One slightly more obvious reference is a Covert Operations Manual reading “Not the soldiers you’re looking for” asa reference to Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Jedi mind trick inStar Wars: A New Hopewhere he tells a Stormtrooper, “These are not the droids you’re looking for.”
Some of Codsworth’s recognized player character names are “Han” and “Solo”, further referencing the scoundrel-turned-hero.
While some may have already discovered these kinds of Easter eggs, it’s a testament to just how much there is to see and do in Bethesda’s RPGs that players are still able to stumble across things that are new to them years after they first started playing the game, especially withFallout 4being a decade-old as of next November.
