The final episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi just landed on Disney+ and what an epic ending it delivered. Apart from resolving various plot points of the story, such as returning a young Princess Leia Organa to her adoptive parents and the redemption of Reva, the series as a whole enriched both the prequel and original trilogy in the process. But apart from that resolution, there are a lot of hidden details and fun trivia every Star Wars fan should know about it. Here are the best Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 6 easter eggs that should be on your radar.

Callback quotes

This week's installment of everyone's favorite Jedi is filled to the brim with the franchise's most popular and beloved quotes. We start with a young Luke Skywalker bravely telling his Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen Lars that he's not afraid after they tell him to run if he is found by Reva. Luke's response is the same “I'm not afraid” he gives Yoda in Empire Strikes Back at the possibility of facing Darth Vader to rescue his friends.

Another quote that resonated among Star Wars fans is a couple of lines said by both Obi-Wan and Darth Vader at the start of their duel. The Jedi sees his former apprentice in the flesh after leading Imperial forces away from Roken, an image that compels him to stop the Dark Lord of the Sith right then and there.

After a short conversation, Kenobi utters “I will do what I must,” a line that prompts Vader to say “Then you will die.” This conversation mirrors the one they had in Mustafar during the events of Revenge of the Sith, except for the last line when Anakin says “You will try,” instead.

At the end of their battle, Obi-Wan sees a scarred Anakin Skywalker through a shattered helmet. He apologizes, only to have been rebuked harshly by his former apprentice. At that point, Kenobi regretfully says “Then my friend is truly dead.”  This is a callback to the time Luke Skywalker said the same thing about his father when he tried to pull him back from the Dark Side of the Force in Return of the Jedi.

Last, but not the least, is Obi-Wan's iconic “Hello there,” and when he used it to greet Luke. Alec Guinness' Obi-Wan used it to greet an older Luke when he saved him from Tusken Raiders. A younger Ewan McGregor also delivered that line before General Grievous in Revenge of the Sith.

The high ground

Halfway through their battle, Darth Vader opens up the ground using the Force. As Kenobi falls into the chasm, the Sith Lord buries his former master under a significant amount of rocks he summoned. As that was happening, Vader stands triumphantly from Kenobi at an elevated distance.

This is a callback to Episode 3's climactic battle, one where Kenobi had the high ground and used it to defeat Anakin. In this version, though, we have Vader staring down at Kenobi with the implication that for this rematch, he had the high ground against him.

Darth Vader exposed

After Obi-Wan escaped from being buried, the former Jedi battled Vader with renewed vigor and ferocity. Once he has gotten the upper hand on his former apprentice, the Jedi leaped and struck the Sith Lord's helmet. This act exposed a part of Anakin Skywalker's burned profile for Kenobi to see.

This specific scene is reminiscent of a battle Ahsoka had with his former master in Rebels. Much like what Obi-Wan did, the once-Padawan to Anakin Skywalker struck Vader's helmet and exposed a portion of his face. The reaction of Ahsoka is also close to how Obi-Wan felt, right before she fought him once again in that particular episode of the animated series.

Closer to becoming Alec Guinness

Obi-Wan Kenobi's attire when he met Luke has an easter egg that's more than meets the eye. In Star Wars #15 from Marvel Comics, the former Jedi Master dons the same clothes as he continues to observe and protect the young boy from afar.

As it can be seen from the comic cover above, this is the part of the Star Wars timeline when Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan will slowly transform into that of Alec Guinness. This small callback establishes that connection and the future in store for Kenobi on Tattooine.

Two epic cameos

Right before the final episode ended, Star Wars fans were treated to cameos of two legendary characters from the franchise. First off, we have Darth Vader conversing with Ian McDiarmid's Emperor Palpatine via a hologram about the aftermath of his battle with Kenobi. While that's epic in its own right, the following cameo has far larger implications for the future of Obi-Wan Kenobi and a potential second season.

Right after meeting Luke, Obi-Wan heads out to the desert to find a new home. Out in the open, he sees the Force ghost of Liam Neeson's Qui-Gonn Jinn, who then proceeds to tell him that they have a lot of work to do. This means that the deceased Jedi is about to train his former apprentice on how to return to the living after being one with the Force.

Neeson's Qui-Gonn Jin was an integral part of The Phantom Menace, and by extension, the lives of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. His cameo right at the end can give Star Wars fans more of Jinn, as his part in the franchise is too short-lived.

With Obi-Wan Kenobi ending on a high note, fans are clamoring for more of the Jedi Master. It remains to be seen whether Disney+ will give the go signal for a second season. If it does, better be on the lookout for those easter eggs once again.
