42 Years Later, John Williams Just Revealed an Old Star Wars Reference Everyone Missed

Lucasfilm

But they can also be far more singular, like the “A113” CalArts Easter egg or “CRM 114” in multiple Stanley Kubrick movies. But sometimes, Easter eggs can be a shout-out to another fellow filmmaker, a reference that incorporates another universe — and significantly complicates canon.
