Still, perhaps our favourite Easter egg didn\u2019t come from any film or TV show \u2013 instead it came from the world of video games, specifically lightsaber combat\/platforming adventure Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.<\/p>\n
In the episode, Mando (Pedro Pascal) heads to the repair shop of Peli Motto (Amy Sedaris) to pick up a new ship. Helping her are a parade of familiar droids \u2013 including one only previously seen in Fallen Order, a so-called \u201cBD unit\u201d that sort of looks like a pair of sci-fi binoculars sitting atop a pair of spindly little legs.<\/p>
In Fallen Order, a BD unit called BD-1 accompanies lead character Cal Kestis on his travels across the galaxy, functioning as a lockpick, scanner, occasional weapon and medic while also forming a sort of friendship with the troubled ex-Jedi padawan.<\/p>\n
He swiftly became a favourite of players after his role in the game, and plenty of Star Wars fans will be delighted to see the droid make a live-action debut. It also appears that the BD unit may have been puppeteered, which means there\u2019s now a REAL BD out there after years of him only existing in ones and zeros.<\/p>\n

Technically he could be the same \u2013 Fallen Order takes place quite a few years before The Book of Boba Fett, during the rise of the Empire, and both are addressed as \u201cBD\u201d \u2013 but it would imply a slightly depressing end to the game\u2019s story (where\u2019s Cal?).<\/p>\n Anyway, yesterday EA confirmed that a Fallen Order sequel is on its way, so we might get a chance to find out whether the original BD-1 and this BD unit are one and the same \u2013 but either way, it\u2019s a great nod to the ever-expanding world of Star Wars.<\/p>\n The Book of Boba Fett releases new episodes on Wednesdays on Disney Plus.
