Easter eggs can be a great way to shout out a work’s source material or make a sly wink to the diehard fans. But they can also be far more singular, like the “A113” CalArts Easter egg or “CRM 114” in multiple Stanley Kubrick movies.

Iconic composer John Williams has brought up a hidden part of one of the most famous cinematic Easter eggs, and it will forever change how you watch a classic sci-fi movie.
