A Star Wars Jedi: Survivor player has discovered a hilarious secret boss battle while playing the game. The boss battles in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor are some of the most difficult in the whole series, but this particular boss won't prove much of a challenge to many players.
Although it's early days, it seems as though Respawn has hidden plenty of secrets and references for players to discover. Another player recently found a great Attack of the Clones reference in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, showing that the developer has pulled from all corners of the Star Wars franchise for different secrets. It should be noted that these are the things being found in the first few days after release, so there could be plenty more tucked away that may not be uncovered by the community for a while yet.
This particular Easter egg was noticed by Redditor NoPersonKnowsWhoIAm, who discovered a lone Scout Trooper in one of the game's levels. He's not just any Scout Trooper in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. This is "Rick the Door Technician," which the game counts as a boss battle. Rick the Door Technician talks a big game, screaming as he charges at Cal Kestis. He's easily defeated in a single hit, however. Upon death, the game even gives players a hilarious "Boss Defeated" popup. Players actually don't have to kill Rick the Door Technician, as he's easily avoided in the game.
A common theory in the thread is that Rick is a nod to Matt the Radar Technician, the subject of a 2015 SNL sketch featuring Adam Driver as Kylo Ren from the Star Wars sequels. It's a pretty deep-cut reference that not everyone will understand, so it's interesting that this could be a nod to Matt. Others simply declared him the best boss in the entire game, with one player claiming that "Vader got nothing on Rick."
With the game now in the hands of the players, the developer of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor can now begin working on its post-launch support for the game. Gamers will be hoping that Respawn opts to develop some single-player DLC for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, after the original game didn't receive any. First though, the studio's focus will remain on getting the game into a playable state on PC. Many gamers are continuing to report that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is unplayable on the platform, and that should definitely remain a priority before any new content.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
