==Behind the scenes==
"Cell 2187" is a reference to the short film 21-87, a commentary on a machine-dominated society that was directed by Arthur Lipsett and which inspired George Lucas to make the film THX-1138.
Finn's stormtrooper designation in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens is FN-2187, a reference by writer-director J.J. Abrams to this cell number in the original film.
In A New Hope: The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy, Leia Organa is also designated as "Prisoner 2187."
