You’re warned of light spoilers from this past Saturday’s latest Star Wars Rebels look “Through Imperial Eyes,” but eagle-eyed viewers may have caught some surprising relics in Grand Admiral Thrawn’s office, including a head-scratching Indiana Jones find.
Star Wars may have taken place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, but any Indiana Jones fan could tell you the two tales share some surprising links in the form of various easter eggs.
Now, Star Wars Rebels is in on the fun with its own Indy gag, along with other Ralph McQuarrie and The Force Awakens nods from this Saturday’s latest.
As explained by art director Kilian Plunkett (hey, that sounds familiar) in a new Rebels Recon video, the Holy Grail from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade somehow found its way into Thrawn’s possession.
