Star Wars is one of the most well-known sci-fi movie franchises of all time so it’s no surprise Overwatch contains a nod to the legendary films.

What’s the easter egg?
In the attacking spawn on Horizon Lunar Colony there’s a giant telescope pointed at Earth that each hero can look through and say a unique voice line as they do.
Reddit user Mariangiongiangela put two and two together and realized Zenyatta’s line, “The damage doesn’t look as bad from up here,” is a reference to Star Wars: Episode IV, A New Hope.

Specifically, the scene in the beginning of the movie when C-3PO and R2-D2 are in an escape pod and C-3PO says: “That’s funny, the damage doesn’t look as bad from out here.”
The voice line definitely wasn’t added recently, but players are just starting to realize the connection to Star Wars.

The next Overwatch event up after Archives is Anniversary, which usually begins in late May, a couple of weeks after the current event ends.
