Plus, our list of all the Easter eggs we could find:

1. Alderaan Vineyards – the wine bottle on the table in the first shot is subtly placed, but a sharp eye will see it
2. Kessel – the diamond earrings in a box from Kessel? Might they be laced with glitterstim?
3. Cantina Jazz – actually, shouldn’t it be Jizz? Either way, it’s a nice shout out to our favorite off-world band.
4. Cafe Lando – this one is subtle, as it’s on the valet podium behind the actors, but it’s a nice way to connect Lando Calrissian, his penchant for owning nice places, and jazz.
5. Coruscant Traffic – the location where this was shot doesn’t have all of those skyscrapers in the background, but even more subtle is the traffic overhead. We don’t have flying cars in Kansas City.
6. Leia – of course that’s her name.
7. 1138 – the address on the house. Pretty sure that’s added in post.
8. “I love you.” “I know.” – what spot featuring the Millennium Falcon would be complete without the inclusion of this line?
9. “I have a bad feeling about this.” – and what Star Wars homage would be complete without this line?
10. Chewbacca – fitting that the dog is Chewie, since it was George Lucas’ dog Indiana that inspired both the Wookiee and a certain archaeologist’s name…

Did we miss any?
