Respawn Entertainment senior writer Manny Hagopian recently released a series of teases for fans to figure out. These teases were to help fans discover whatStar Wars Jedi: Fallen OrderEaster egg that Hagopian added inApex Legendswhen the latter launched. Now, one fan has managed to figure it out, and it involvesJFO’s Greez Dritus andApex’s Mirage.
There’s a lot to Mirage in hisApex Legendslore, ranging from his love of porkchops and dating profile to a rather peculiar-named grandfather. This Easter egg connects his grandfather and the family recipe of porkchops toJedi: Fallen Order’s Greez Dritus, as the grandfather’s name is Gryz Witt. Given the spelling, Greez and Gryz, it’s not hard to see how the two relate.

Even more, eachRespawn Entertainmentcharacter has some relation to food. Gryz Witt’s recipe for the porkchops, for example, loosely relates to a scene of Greez Dritus talking about cooking dinner and pouring copious amounts of salt onto his food. Both clearly love food. Now, this connection may be weaker than the name, but it was something likely thought of around the same time to hint at the Easter egg between the two.
Regardless, it’s an Easter egg that fans of both games may appreciate, and it’s not surprising considering that both games share a developer in Respawn Entertainment. As such, it’s likely been a good year for Respawn, asApex Legendssurprise launched in February andStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderlaunched just a few weeks ago. The former has been going strong since then, with just a few shortcomings in the battle royale genre, and the other has been hailed as one of thebest Star Wars gamesfor quite some time.
As of now, one can hope thatApexcontinues to innovate in the battle royale genre, andJedi: Fallen Orderis the start of a sub-franchise, not a one-off. After all, theending toJedi: Fallen Orderleaves plenty of room open to be explored in a sequel, but only time will tell.
Apex Legends&Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderare out now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
