There's an INDIANA JONES Easter Egg in STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS
Ever since Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released, people have been pointing out all kinds of Easter eggs and references from the film. You might think you already know them all, but new ones seem to keep popping up!
The latest Easter egg that has been revealed in the movie involves Indiana Jones. The information comes from sound designer David Acord during an interview with Nerdist. He explains that during the scene where Han Solo and Chewbacca are running down the hall away from by the rolling monstrous rathtar, he threw in a sound effect from Indiana Jones. He says:
"Then there’s some other cool things like when the rathtar is rolling down the hallway after Han and Chewie, I put in the sound of Ben Burtt’s boulder roll sound from Raiders of the Lost Ark when the boulder is chasing Indy."
So next time you watch the movie, listen closely because you'll be able to hear the sound of the boulder from Raiders of the Lost Ark. I've gotta say, that's a pretty cool little addition that I would have never caught had someone like Acord not mentioned it. I thought that was a fun piece of information that some of you fans might appreciate.
