Luke Skywalker’s Skeleton
Last Updated: 4/30/2017
This Star Wars easter egg is located inside of Bleakcoast Cave.
Located inside of Bleakcoast Cave players will stumble across a Skyrim interpretation of the famous scene in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back where Luke Skywalker finds himself hanging upside down in an ice cave trapped by a Wampa. His light saber is stuck in the snow below him and the only way for him to get free is by using the Force to retrieve it.
For the Skyrim version, as you navigate through Bleakcoast Cave you’ll find a frost troll that must be killed – this is to reference to the Wampa. Near the troll you will find a single room with the scene itself which is a skeleton hanging upside down from the roof with a leveled-sword sticking out of the ground beneath it.
Unfortunately it looks like Luke Skywalker is neither Dragonborn nor a mage and has had a little trouble replicating his escape in the Elder Scrolls Universe; seeing as how he also failed in Morrowind as well.
I happen to know for a fact that Luke Skywalker is a Star Wars character, not an Elder Scrolls character. Oh and by the way, when that Wampa hung Luke upside-down on the ceiling by his legs in Empire Strikes Back? He retrieved his lightsaber, freed himself, cut off one of the Wampa’s arms and escaped. So, if this someone’s idea of a joke, I’m not laughing. It’s bad parody.
