Garbage Compactor 3263827

Garbage Compactor 3263827 was a garbage compactor on the first Death Star where Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia Organa were temporarily stranded after freeing Organa from Detention Block AA-23 in 0 BBY. "3263827" was a hatch number.
The magnetically sealed facility was infested by a dianoga creature, which was placed there to exterminate vermin. The dianoga grabbed Skywalker's legs and pulled him down under the liquid. The Rebels were soon released from the garbage compactor when R2-D2 disabled all garbage compactors on the detention level of the Death Star, on orders by Luke Skywalker.
It was a compactor of recyclable waste. It was destroyed when the Alliance attack on the battle station succeeded.
==Behind the scenes==
At the time of filming, 326-3827 was Mark Hamill's real phone number, and he decided to improvise the line to sneak the number into the film so it would be forever preserved. This caused some contention between Hamill and Harrison Ford as Ford kept repeating his own phone number, which annoyed Hamill as the reference had been his idea. Finally Ford read out the number and retorted "Happy now you big baby?", causing Hamill to laugh.https://twitter.com/cracksh0t/status/1285339389053345801?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1285339389053345801%7Ctwgr%5Ec94258233159ff9f2de6fd6057347ccaac910d71%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwegotthiscovered.com%2Fmovies%2Fmark-hamill-sneak-real-phone-number-star-wars-hope%2F
