Star Wars Battlefront Sports a Great Easter Egg for Original Trilogy Fans

Watch your head.

Whatever you think of it being so multiplayer-centric and simplistic, it's hard to deny that Star Wars Battlefront looks and sounds great, capturing much of the magic of Star Wars. It's also home to more than a few subtle references to the movies, the best of which was only just discovered.

As found by GamesRadar, a short cutscene setting up the Empire's goal in Walker Assault sees a stormtrooper watching a hologram message inside of a hangar. In the background, a pair of stormtroopers can be seen walking around when one slams his head into the stairs in front of him.

That seems like a clear reference to the classic blooper from Star Wars: A New Hope where a stormtrooper bumps his head into a door after it opens. If you've forgotten (or missed) it, you can see the original version below.

Battlefront launched last week on Xbox One, PS4, and PC, with quite a bit of DLC on the way. You can check out GameSpot's review here.
