Will these references be in the game?

1) 326-3827

2) THX 1138

3) The Wilhelm scream?

4) I've got a bad feeling about this!

5) 327

Am I missing anything else?

What are those references to? I've only ever heard of the Wilhelm scream, and they tend to use that when they cbf to get the voice actor back in and make him scream. Bowchikabowow.

The first one is a phone number, I think, George knows. The second one is George's first feature film THX-1138, and the third is the sound producer Ben Burtt's signature that he places as a joke in all of his films. Including all Star Wars films.

Yeah, I know about the Wilhelm. I mean, what are they? Are they in like every film or something?

Also, don't forget to put [hidden] tags when you're posting pictures or vids. Makes it nice and tidy. :)

Did you watch the video? It has a few of the scenes on there.

Episode III it happens during the cruiser to cruiser battle when the Clone Trooper gets blown away by the Invisible Hand flagship.

Episode II it was on the landing platform when the ship blew up

Episode I it was at during the initial hangar bay assault

Episode IV it was when Luke shot the stormtrooper on the other side of the catwalk

Episode V it was the stormtrooper Chewie knocks off the freezing room platform

Episode IV it was the weequay that Luke cuts over the side of the skiff.

And there you have it a virtual signature.

It's more of an in-joke across the entire film industry, really, although Burtt was the one who started it after he rediscovered the sound. Tarantino uses it in all of his films, too.

Ben Burtt discovered the "Wilhelm Scream" in some audio collection somewhere and brought it to the public limelight. Since then it's been used in A LOT of movies, with Ben Burtt deserving credit for finding it. It's fun to hear it, knowing it's an homage to Ben Burtt.

He even tried to make the Wilhelm Scream with his own voice in RotJ when Han knocks him into a pit in the Endor shield generator. :P

Can't say I know the "326-3827" reference though.

I'm kind of hoping that all four of them are in the game somewhere even in aurebesh. Although, I won't notice it, if it is in aurebesh.

It is now, you're right!

Haha, I've had speculation that it's an old phone number from USC, but George would have to confirm that.

1138 (number)

This article is ambiguously canon.

This article is about an Easter egg, and may or may not be part of the "real" Star Wars universe.


THX1138.jpg
1138 is a number that appears in products that are related to George Lucas and his works. It is also a recurrent in-joke in subsequent George Lucas films and LucasArts computer games.

Another number of similar 'qualities' is 327.

The origin of this number is the title of Lucas's first movie THX 1138 and also the main character. Lucas likes to re-use words and numbers in his newest productions in honor of his older works.

Examples in Lucas productsEdit
Star Wars filmsEdit

1138 on the battle droid's back.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace:
In the scene where the Gungans realize the battle droids have shut down, the one pushed over by Jar Jar Binks has "1138" in Aurebesh numerals on its backpack.
Highlighting the "THX" logo on the DVD menu and typing "1138" on the remote control brings you a blooper reel from the making of The Phantom Menace—mostly consisting of scenes involving R2-D2 and integrating Jar Jar Binks as a "real" actor.

Barely visible, 1138 in the sand... or is it?

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones:
All clone troopers have the designation code "1138" in LED on the backs of their helmets. This is most visible in the scene where Mace Windu says, "Pilot, land in that assembly area!" The pilot who responds, "Yes, sir," has the number visible on his helmet.
Some have said that the sand marks made by Padmй Amidala when she falls out of the Republic Gunship look like the number 1138. While the two ones and three are clearly visible, the eight can be argued. This was also proven to be false on the DVD commentary.
Others have said that the droid piloting Count Dooku's ship away from the Jedi says "1138." However, sound editor Ben Burtt has stated that FA-4's dialogue was designed as gibberish, and doesn't actually mean anything.
Highlighting the "THX" logo on the DVD menu and typing "1138" on the remote control brings you a blooper reel from the making of Attack of the Clones.

Chewbacca, the transfer from cell block 1138.

1138 is the number of a cell block on the Death Star, as mentioned by Luke Skywalker in dialogue: "Prisoner transfer from cell block 1138."

1138: The Sideshow Boushh helmet.

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi:
There was a years-old debate over whether 1138 is in Return of the Jedi. The debate was finally settled in 2007, when a 1:6 scale Boushh figure from Sideshow Collectibles—said to be taken straight from the film props—had 1138 painted onto the side of the helmet. The subject was brought up on a live ForceCast with Stephen J. Sansweet and Peter Vilmur.[1] Neither man could answer the question, but Vilmur contacted Lucas Licensing's Chris Spitale, who oversaw both Sideshow's and Gentle Giant's "Princess Leia in Boushh disguise" projects. Spitale revealed photos of the actual film props, which indeed have 1138 painted on their sides.[2]

He never bothered to include the three digit area code, so I don't know. He lives in San Fransisco, but went to school at USC. Those two would be a starting place.

Plus, remember he may have moved since 1976 when they were filiming that scene, so you might get someone else, entirely. A very embarrassing situation for you, for sure.
