The Morning Watchis a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fanmade productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.
In this edition, check out the extensive number of Easter eggs from the most recent trailer forReady Player One. Plus, if you’ve got a friend in your life who needs to learn all aboutStar WarsbeforeThe Last Jedihits theaters, you can cram with an entire saga recap. And finally, see Kylo Ren cut a littleForce Looseas he rage dances his anger out.
First up, the folks atScreenCrushpaid very close attention to every frame of the newReady Player Onetrailer, and they caught no less than 62 Easter eggs. Most of them are various pop culture nods and references from inside the world of the OASIS, but they also noticed some interesting story hints that give us an idea of how the film adaptation will be different from the book.
Next up, while we’d rather that people sit down to watch all of theStar Warsmovies (yes, even the prequels just for the sake of being a thorough), there’s a chance that some people have an interest in seeingStar Wars: The Last Jedithis weekend, but they don’t have time to watch seven other movies in time. That’s whereScreen Junkiescomes in with their valuableStar Warsedition of Cram It, telling you everything you need to know in under 19 minutes.
Finally, we know Kylo Ren is filled with rage, and sometimes there’s nothing to do with that rage but fiercely dance it out of your system. That’s why Kylo Ren likes to have his own personal dance sessions to the tune of the Moving Pictures song “Never” fromFootloose. The jokesters atNerdistcreated a specialStar Warsparody of the song while Kylo Ren thrusts his way around the hallways and docking bays of the First Order.
