THX-1138
From Ewokpedia
THX-1138 is the combination to George Lucas' secret safe in his underground fortress on Skywalker Ranch. Some say it contains the trillions of dollars he made from the American Graffiti film saga.
Due to his inability to remember this combination, George Lucas inserts it into every one of his films as a way to "jog his memory" (despite the objections of his lawyer).
