2187 It's A Beautiful World

1963 Canadian ♣ film "21-87":

George Lucas reportedly saw it two dozen times as a film student at USC before making in 1967 ELECTRONIC LABYRINTH THX-1138 4EB, the first version with the U.S. Navy's participation, one
that won him a film award: 
"2187" is also BTW the numerical designation where Princess Leia is held prisoner aboard the Death Star in the 1977 "STAR WARS". Whatta coincidink. One could make the case for plagiarism:
George Lucas catapulted to fame and fortune. Arthur Lipsett lived in poverty and committed suicide in 1986, incidentally the year Lucas laid his first egg, "Howard The Duck": 

DEVO said it best, "It's A Beautiful World":
