It seems following each and every Star Wars trailer released there always follows an immense amount of over-analysis of it. Earlier this week we got our first official "trailer"(not teaser) for Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, and naturally fans have been going wild watching it over and over again and picking it apart. One of the more intriguing scenes in the trailer comes at the 1:38 mark(above) and shows Han, Rey, Finn and BB-8 entering what we believe is Maz Kanata's castle. At the top of the shot you can see a plethora of different flags hanging over the doorway they are approaching. One eagle eyed fan named " Calithlin" on the Star Wars News Net Forums took it upon himself to look over the scene in great detail and found some surprising connections to several characters and factions from other parts of the saga.
First off, five Podracer flags appear, a clear reference to Episode I The Phantom Menace. It includes flags for Aldar Beedo, Sebulba, Ark Roose, Teemto Pagalies, Mawhonic, Wan Sandage and even Anakin Skywalker:
Furthermore, he noticed emblems from some criminal organizations, including one seen as a tattoo on Ziro The Hutt and Hondo Ohanka's Pirate Gang symbol, both of which come from Star Wars: The Clone Wars:
And as some fans almost immediately noticed, some flags feature Mandalorian symbols that can be traced to at least two notable Mandos. The Mythosaur Skull and the Mandalorian crest can also be seen on Boba Fett's armor, and another symbol bares resemblance to Sabine Wren's helmet seen in Star Wars Rebels:
It's awesome that J.J. Abrams & crew have gone the extra mile on details like this and further connecting the Saga in small ways such as this. Did you notice any other Easter Eggs in the trailer that are worth noting? Please send us your thoughts at swunderworld@gmail.com!

ReplyDeleteTime stamp?
DeleteIt's center top screen on the flag.
ReplyDeleteIt's not Boba Fett. It's one of the Knights of Ren.
ReplyDeleteBoba Fett would be geriatric by this point in time even if he does survive.
It appears as though the flag just left of center, bottom-most, above the door is Boba Fett's helmet.
ReplyDeleteAnother cool thing you see that the new SF tie fighter now can shoot backwards. It seems that the turret is able to swivel to fire both fore and aft.
ReplyDeleteit's not just the symbol for boba fett, it's the symbol for all Mandalorians
ReplyDeleteThe comment of the tie fighter shooting backwars its because is a two seated special ops tie fighter just like the old snowspeeder.also the antenna is a cannon too. you can see it in the new toys of the force awakens, here is a pic with the two seats https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/TIE2.jpg
ReplyDeletemaybe poe and finn escape togheter and thats the scene of the hangar blasting stormtroopers
Cool, so now Tie Fighters are flying coffins that can fit two people in them!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone think that maybe those flags are some kind of trophies? And maybe Han and Finn are going to visit Max Von Sydow's character... who may own those trophies?
ReplyDeleteAlso, for some reason I see a parallel between the Maz character and the character of Rozatta (or "Roz"), who was Jango Fett's contact and handler in the Star Wars Bounty Hunter game. Now I'm not saying Maz has any connection to Fett, but hasn't it been rumoured that she does have underworld contacts?
I believe that the flag pointed out here to be Wan Sandage's pod racing flag is actually the Death Watch flag, a Mandolorian group from Clone Wars.
ReplyDelete501st flag confirmed!
