'''Cell 2187''' was a detention cell located in [[Detention Block AA-23/Legends|Detention Block AA-23]] aboard the [[DS-1 Orbital Battle Station/Legends|first Death Star]]. Just prior to the [[Battle of Yavin/Legends|Battle of Yavin]], it was used for the interrogation and detainment of [[Prince/Legends|Princess]] [[Leia Organa Solo|Leia Organa]]. She was scheduled for execution before [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]], [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]], and [[Chewbacca/Legends|Chewbacca]] came to [[Rescue of Princess Leia/Legends|rescue]] her.

==Behind the scenes==
In the [[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (novel)|novelization]] and comic adaptation, Luke Skywalker chooses a different method of entering Cell 2187: He destroys its door with a [[laser pistol]] instead of pressing a button to open it.

''[[Inside the Worlds of Star Wars Trilogy]]'' erroneously gives this cell's number as "3187." This error was repeated in [[Star Wars: Complete Locations (2005)|''Complete Locations'']] and ''[[The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader]]''.

"Cell 2187" is a reference to the short film [[Wikipedia:21-87|''21-87'']], directed by [[Wikipedia:Arthur Lipsett|Arthur Lipsett]]. It reportedly inspired [[George Lucas]] to make the film ''THX-1138''.

In the game ''[[Star Wars: Republic Commando]]'', during the ''[[Prosecutor]]'' stage, Commando [[RC-1262/Legends|Scorch]] is taken to the ship's detention block, which resembles that of the Death Star's, and is held in [[Cell 2187 (Prosecutor)|cell 2187]].
