Of the many highly anticipated games that have been released in 2022 so far,LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagais one that many fans of the LEGO series have been waiting years for. Ever since it was first announced in late 2017,LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagahas managed to cultivate a lot of excitement, and since its release, many players have enjoyed the game so far. Recently, one player discovered an in-game Easter Egg from an unlikely video game franchise.
Video games as a medium are no strangers to Easter Eggs, with nearly every major release featuring some form of secret event, hidden area, or homage to another work. The LEGO games are no exception to this, with many of the games managing to sneak in hidden details and references from other franchises. Though, strangely enough, this most recent Easter Egg comes from theXenoblade Chroniclesfranchise.

Over on YouTube, a user named Vame Geveloper posted a video of an in-game LEGO character talking about how great the party is and then ends the dialogue with “I’m really feeling it,” a reference to theXenobladeChroniclesfranchise. Interestingly, this dialogue is actually spoken by Adam Howden, thevoice actor for Shulk in the originalXenoblade Chronicles.
Apparently, a formerTT Gamesdeveloper named David Harris is a massive fan ofXenoblade Chroniclesand once he heard that Adam Howden was providing a voice-over forLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga,he managed to work in aXenobladereference. The phrase “I’m really feeling it” is a common quotation fromXenoblade Chroniclesthat got popularized when Shulk made his appearance inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U.
It’s amazing how much popularityXenoblade Chronicleshas managed to cultivate, to the point where the series' presence can be felt in a LEGO game. Back when the originalXenoblade Chronicleswasreleased in 2010 for the Wii, it was not extremely popular. Since that time, the series has spawned three sequels, includingXenoblade Chronicles Xfor the Wii U, three characters included in theSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateroster, and now, is being referenced in other games outside of the series.
In any case, it will be interesting to see what elseLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagamight have in store for its players. Given the rich worldbuilding ofStar Wars, there are bound to be plenty of other references found inThe Skywalker Saga. And with the inclusion of the upcomingDLC packs forLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, there will likely be even more secret content for players to discover.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagais available for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
