Question: The number 1138 gets referenced in many later Lucas-related projects. What, if any, is the original significance of the number?
Answer: It's been widely suggested that Lucas based the title on his telephone number at the time. The first three digits corresponded to T,H and X on the keypad - the last four were 1138.
