ST What will "Kelvin" be in Episode 7?

JJ always likes to include a Kelvin in his projects, in honor of his his grandfather.

In Super 8, it was the name of the gas station.
In Star Trek, it was the name of a ship.
In Star Trek Into Darkness, it was written on the front of a building that Khan was standing next to.
In Lost, it was a minor character's name.
Etc, etc.

So what might Kelvin be in Episode 7? Since SW rarely uses a familiar writing system, I doubt we'll see it written anywhere, as we did in many of the above examples, which means we might have to hear it spoken, so possibly the name of a minor character or planet.

Or, will JJ break with tradition and NOT include a Kelvin at all?
Discuss amongst yourselves.

(I'm stunned that there isn't a thread about this already, since clearly this is the single most important thing about Episode 7.)

 

Why not have it in Aurebesh?

 

The name of the character played by D.C. Barnes.

There will also be mention of the LOST numbers.

 

Umm... An Lieutenant or something aboard Han's ship.

"Lieutenant Kelvin, what is the status of the interior sub-engine thrusters?!"

 

The ones from Hurley's lottery tickets? (I'm only in Season 1.)

Anyways, in addition to Kelvin and the LOST numbers, we'll also likely have a 1138 reference, a 327 reference, "I have a bad feeling about this," and a Wilhelm scream. Given all that, fans will probably be looking for Easter eggs for a very long time before we discover them all!

 

Yes, those are the numbers. I'd imagine 1138 will still be on the trooper armour, the "bad feeling" and the scream are a given (Abrams does it himself) but 327 ?

Does that feature more than once?

 

Docking Bay 327 in ANH.
Landing Pad 327 in ESB.
Shuttle Tydirium was stolen from Outpost 327 in ROTJ.
J-Type 327 Nubian in TPM.
Vulptereen 327 podracer in TPM.
Clone Trooper CT-327 in Clone Wars Season 1.
Boba Fett went undercover as clone cadet 327 in Clone Wars Season 2.
Treadwell droid 327-T appeared in Clone Wars Season 1.

And that's just in canon sources.

 

Either a minor character mentioned once or written somewhere in Aurabesh

 

Cool. I didn't know about that. Cheers.

Although would I be right in saying Outpost 327 is not mentioned on screen in RotJ?

 

Wookieepedia claims that it was.

 

Okies. I'll have to keep a listen out next time

 

I'd reckon Kelvin will refer to some sort of temperature scale

 

probably a minor alien species.

 

Must confess, I wasn't familiar with the repeated references to the number 327. I like this sort of thing, though. I'd hope there will be a usage of 1138 somewhere, too, of course. The "Wilhelm Scream" is a must. I wouldn't object to the numbers from "Lost" making an appearance. With regard to Kelvin. Well, a planet, perhaps, or a town or city. Kelvin is a district in the Scottish city Glasgow.

 

I'll go with a Kelvin planet/system being referenced

 

Yeah, like that chicken-lizard peddler everybody here just loves calling Bob.

 

Maybe his full name will be Bob Kelvin.

 

In VII's cantina scene Greg Grunberg will play Kelvin who flirts with Keri Russel while sipping a Slusho, wearing a Dharma jumpsuit.

 

Kelvin Klineo a Jedi in training.....

 

no. he's bob tosche the kelvin.

 

"Kelvin system? I've never heard of it"
"Kelvins not a system, he's a man. Scoundrel, you'd like him"

 

I think it's possible that we COULD see it written out in English somewhere. I know all text we saw on screen in the PT was spelled out in Aurabesh, but - correct me if I'm wrong - didn't we see some text in English in the OT? I believe it's on the door that's holding the wampas in the deleted scene in ESB, and possibly when R2 is talking to Luke inside the X-wing. I know the leaked photo showed the gate warning sign written in Aurabesh but I still think it's a possibility.

 

Kelvin will be John Boyega's nickname for his......Ship.



What did you think i'd say!?

 

Odds on planet or random person.
