The Gilmore Girls fandom welcomes your astute eye. Specifically, the new Walmart commercial that reunited Luke and Lorelai and pays homage to all things Stars Hollow features several sneaky nods that will delight fans on a second, third, or umpteenth viewing.
The decorative deer in the town square is a little too realistic for me to believe that it's meant just as seasonal decor and not as a reference to Rory hitting a deer - sorry, being hit by a deer - during her early days at Chilton.
Notice the Stars Hollow denizen gently strumming his guitar at the start of the episode? Scott Patterson (who plays Luke) confirmed on his podcast that it's none other than Dave 'Gruber' Allen.
Another interesting part of the diner exterior is the 'Williams Hardware' sign positioned on top of the door. Gilmore Girls fans know that Luke's Diner is located at what used to be his father's hardware store, making this a deep-cut design nod.
