1138

1138 is the number commonly known to appear in products that are related to George Lucas as a recurrent in joke in subsequent George Lucas films and LucasArts computer games.

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