Star Wars' Mark Hamill Revealed His Actual Phone Number in 'A New Hope'
Star Wars is full of Easter eggs and references, from ET popping up in The Phantom Menace to THX 1138 shoutouts.
One little nod came from the actors themselves, as Mark Hamill revealed that Harrison Ford used their real-world phone numbers in a scene from A New Hope, and the two actually had a bit of a spat over it.
Marvel editor Jordan D White shared some old quotes from the Luke Skywalker actor on his Twitter, going in depth about their improvisation on the film.
The excerpt of Hamill's recollections reads: "In the scene where we're trying to get out of the garbage masher, I was supposed to say, 'Threepio, open the...' and give this long serial number. So I had planned all along to say, '2-,' so my own number would be forever preserved on film.
"However, due to how the scene was blocked, Ford wound up saying the line, and Hamill kept pestering him to read his phone number.
"Finally, Harrison read my number and said, 'Happy now, you big baby?' And I laughed because I felt busted 'cause I'd been acting like a two-year-old."

Hamill recently revealed that they had actually shot a few scenes of the first movie where Luke still went by the not very heroic surname 'Starkiller', before they had to go back and reshoot it.
It was also revealed that the actor actually had a secret voice cameo in The Mandalorian, playing a character from the movies.
The Mandalorian, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the entire Skywalker Saga are available on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K now, as well as on Disney+.
