Confirmed
Although this is definitely missed by someone’s radar: there is one interesting thing LEGO Skywalker Saga Xenoblade the reference was “smeared” by a developer.
A seemingly benign NPC known as the “Disco Director” shouted “I really feel it!” feels like an open and closed case for a Xenoblade references, get people talking. This is later confirmed as a direct reference by David Harris, former developer at Traveler’s Tales Games. Kicker? The joke goes one layer further, because it’s the lines from Adam HowdenEnglish voice actor for Shulk.
A reddit comment More clarification on how everything seems to have gone downhill:
“I worked on LOTSSWTSS [LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga]. When I heard that Adam Howden would be providing his voice for the game, I tried to work on it Xenoblade reference somewhere. I solved this in the last puzzle I did. I wasn’t in the room when he was filming, but I received an email from the script editor at the time. He said that Adam wasn’t sure about the line at first, but after being told it was a Xenoblade reference, he nailed it. He was happy to learn that it was indeed a Xenoblade Authority to solve. It really took a long time and several failed attempts before we found a place to put it! Assistant GD is the only person I know in the office who has actually played Xenoblade, so he’s happy to get it in there. We just need to find the right place. ”
It’s a healthy little moment, especially given Howden’s connection to Shulk, and his carefree and silly nature. LEGO series itself. If you are interested, Harris shared some more references that interest him LEGO games over the years.
