The Big Easter Egg/Cameo Thread for Dark Forces Remastered
As the title says, I want to starts this thread which will include easter eggs from other Star Wars games or even sagas added by Nightdive in this remaster. Feel free to post your finding's too. I'll start with 2 small details:

-Achievement: What The Phrik?

This easter egg might be related to Rondald D. Moore Battlestar Galactica's famous curse word, basically their ''F'' in the universe. As you remember, the phrik was a metal heavily discused in the game regarding the dark troopers. But whn I saw this achievement the way its put out, I couldn't help myself but to think on BSG, due to the fact that Phrik and Phrak are phonetically quite similar.

-Options Menu, Xwing Saga Crosshair

This one is for the old timers. Another great Lucasart's games or saga that debuted a few years earlier than Dark Forces, X-Wing (no, not the tabletop game), is also referenced but in a more subtle way than theprevious BSG reference.

If you go over to the options menu and select the Crosshar submenu you will be able to chose various seetings of the crosshair the Remaster features. It wasn't pressent on the original version due to the game using an autoaim feature to compensate for the fact the player couldn't move diagonally the POV of Katarn.
But with this remaster you can look freely and obviously the auto aim is gone (at least for the PC version). What's interesting and will be catched in no time by fans of the original Xwing games for PC is that Crosshair #17 is the same that was featured in the X-wing, Tie Fighter and X-wing Vs Tie Fighter. Heres a picture with a side by side comparisson for reference (left side is the Xwing Crosshair; right side is Dark Forces remastered crosshair):

Came here to see if anyone else noticed the crosshair. I have a feeling some of the other crosshairs might be from other titles too, just can't id them off the top of my head.

Following to see if anything else pops up. I'ma keep my eyes open on my play through.

There is the Ewok present in this game that Google videos can show.

Also mission 5 near the end it is an easy miss but if you turn around to go back just before the sludge section one of the walls says Ewoks suck. Also believe I saw that same message on mission 6 as well.

There's two Ewoks, one in Research Facility and one in Ramsees Hed. There's a smoking lounge in Detention Center (though the ashtrays were removed in the remaster). There's Max's head in the automap from Sam and Max in a secret in Robotics Facility. And lastly there's the Jabba pool in Jabba's Ship. All of the secrets and easter eggs are in my playthrough of the PSX version on Youtube.

A very easy way to get the ashtrays back:
