Rise Of Skywalker Movie Facts, Easter Eggs and hidden details

C3PO's very last line in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) is the exact same line that is his first one in Star Wars: A New Hope (1977).

Kylo Ren's repaired helmet is inspired by Kintsugi. The Japanese art of repair by mending cracks with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Kintsugi treats breakage/repair as the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

During the scene where Ben and Rey force Is being absorbed by Palpatine, you can hear a reversed version of the Anakin and Padm? theme from the prequels.

Reys newly build lightsaber can be seen having green, blue and a yellow Kyber Crystal.

Rey transfers part of her life into a large snake to heal it, then remarks to BB-8 "You would've done the same." Later we see BB-8 do the same by transferring part of his battery life into D-0.

During Leia's training scene, you can see she uses some of the same moves Kylo Ren does through the trilogy.

Sees the return of two characters we haven't seen since Return of the Jedi (1983), Denis Lawson as Wedge Antilles and Warwick Davis as the Ewok Wicket (the other Ewok is Warwick's son Harrison).

A chimpanzee who's eyes are not visible repairs Kylo Ren's helmet. This is a reference to Palpatine's original appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, when the visual effects department created his look by superimposing chimp eyes onto Ian Mcdiarmid's face.

Rey heals a threatening Vexis Snake, pacifying it. BB-8 looks at her, so she says "I just transferred some of my life energy. You would have done the same." Later, BB-8 finds an abandoned enemy droid D-O, and transfers some of his energy to revive him.

The stairs on Kijimi are droid accessible.

When Rey Force heals Kylo's stomach wound; she also heals the face scar she gave him in The Force Awakens (2015)

Baron Landonis Balthazar Calrissian 3's (Lando's) cane resembles Cloud City.

Kylo Ren's helmet is repaired through the Japanese artform Kintsugi. With this method, the breakage and repair remain visible, reflecting history rather than hiding it.

Lando Calrisian's cane resembles Cloud City. It's also engraved with his full name: (Baron Landonis Balthazar Calrissian 3.)

After Rey heals the serpent, she explains to BB-8 that she transferred life energy from her to it. Later, BB-8 does the same thing when he charges D-O. Shout-out to the novelization by Rae Carson for pointing out that connection.

C-3PO mentions that the Festival of the Ancestors on Pasaana takes place every 42 years. Rise of Skywalker was released 42 years after the original Star Wars in 1977.

On the planet of Kijimi you can see thin ramps running alongside the stairs, presumably for droids like BB-8 and D-0 to go up and down stairs easily

After rey heals Kylo Ren's lightsaber wound she also heals the scar she left from their previous battle. This also shows the transformation from Kylo Ren back to Ben Solo.

Force ghost Luke has never once showed his robotic arm. He only used his normal arm. It could be a continuity of how Anakin's ghost never showed his robotic limbs as well.
