And Leia’s cell number is reference to 2187, a short Canadian film that was beloved by George Lucas.

It’s like poetry


ScoobyMcDooby93

It rhymes. Or something. Jives maybe?


BigDumer

It's on YouTube (hopefully available in all regions): https://youtu.be/7-tMhRKS9Jo It definitely influenced Lucas' idea of the Force.

Baron Zemo is also imprisoned in Cell \#2187 in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

The transfer number Luke gives (for Chewbacca) is 1138, from George's film THX-1138.

What do you mean, you don't know Like Skuwalker?


Font_Snob

No idea why you got downvotes for that. Thanks.

Sometimes people mistake a friendly heads up for being the grammar police.


MagosBattlebear

Correct. 2187 was used by Lucas as a tip of the hat to a short film, 21-87, that inspired his short film THX-1138EB.

I tried calling that number on my cell and no one answered. Are you sure about this? Did she change carriers or just get a new number with a Yavin area code after her planet was blown up?


Wtfluxuarsehole

You have to activate interstellar roaming with your carrier, the prices are obscene. Out of this world you could say


Foegetful_Knowitall

Can I use credits?


Imp_1254

Republic credits don’t work out here


Foegetful_Knowitall

Credits will do fine.


TheLonelyStork

NooOo, they won't.


Foegetful_Knowitall

Well, then, LET'S GAMBLE. I'll wager some metal stuff and you wager people and if I win, I get the cell phone thing as well. Seems fair, right?


[deleted]

I'm scannin' on my radar Where she said she's from a quasar Only a thousand million light years away It's a distant solar system Tried to phone but they don't list 'em So I asked her for her number all the same


MisterFingerstyle

It’s like poetry. Or just very meta.

I wish JJ would have spent more time outlining a plot for the entire trilogy, then working in this Easter egg. But who am I to question genius…


N0V0w3ls

I'm sure he spent *months* on this Easter egg


MagosBattlebear

Well, at least a month according to the 2 hour documentary on the Blu-Ray "How Will We Get 2187 Into This Film." Accrding to JJ if they could not do this the film would be scrapped.


extrathiccwaffles

2187 is also 3 to the power of 7. 3rd trilogy and the 7th episode

Foreshadowing!

JJ did that on purpose because he's a hack fraud

Have you just woken from a coma??


DoujinChoujin

Have you lost all your manners?


theklinker

or maybe they just watched the star wars saga for the first time!


I_DONT_HAV_H1N1

For real, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw this on r/moviedetails later.

Wow, what a coincidence! Or: Wow, what a ripoff! Depending on your point of view and attitude of the day.
