Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker may have hid an Easter egg of a ship from LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures. Reddit user u/InvertedEight posted a screenshot of the armada of ships during the climactic final battle, and they noted that one vessel appeared to be the StarScavenger, a starship owned by the Freemakers, a family of scavengers featured in the LEGO series. The show debuted on Disney XD in 2016 and follows the adventures of the Freemaker siblings, Rowan, Kordi and Zander, as they travel the galaxy during the Galactic Civil War.
The family's personal starship, the StarScavenger is a CT-900 freighter with a configurable design used for collecting and transporting scrap and starship parts. The ship dates back to the Clone Wars, when it was used by the family to transport materials at the Wheel station, the base of operations of the Freemaker family business.
The vessel comes with a detachable cargo container that enables the family to collect raw material, as well as a hyperdrive and rear shield deflectors. The ship can comfortably house four crew members, as well as several other ships, including the Mini Scavenger, a submarine called the Bubbly Snubbly and Zander's Mark II starfighter.
Throughout the series, Rowan, the youngest of the Freemaker clan, uses his Force powers to enhance the StarScavenger with a set of embersteel blades, which are powered by the Kyber Saber, an ancient artifact of the Jedi and major plot point for the LEGO television series. As the series takes place over the original trilogy, the vessel and her crew saw combat in both the Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor, during which the Freemakers breached the Death Star II's shields using the StarScavenger's embersteel blades.
While The Freemaker Adventures' final episode aired in 2017, the StarScavenger and her crew seemingly saw further action in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the final film in the sequel trilogy. In the movie's conclusion during the Battle of Exegol, a massive armada of ships led by Lando Calrissian comes to the aid of the Resistance. While the Star Scavenger is hard to make out in the middle of the fleet, its potential appearance deepens the Star Wars expanded universe and provides fans of the LEGO series an Easter egg to appreciate.
