  Star Wars....(1977 ONLY), was a groundbreaking & refreshing departure from films of that era. George Lucas has come up with some good ideas in the world of entertainment.....but is a mediocre filmmaker IMHO.

  One idea went really wrong.Three words: Howard The Duck.

  I just don't get it with THX-1138. I tried watching it twice, and consider it just plain terrible.
  I suspect it is just "hip" to be a THX-1138 fan, even though it sucks so badly. After all.....real-live-intelligent humans go to the grocery store to purchase....WATER....and shiiiit brother! Water seems to sell!

  There are references to "THX-1138" in both "American Graffiti" (the Chevy's license plate) and in Star Wars (the number of a cell block).

  Is the original 6 minute student version also on the DVD?

  And have you seen "George Lucas in Love"? Hilarious.

        I was too tired to walk out. I was having fun counting the references. Plus, Jude Law is favorite eye candy.

        Van Helsing - now THAT one I nearly walked out of.

    I haven't watched the bonus disc yet...

    Not sure about the "Lucus in Love" reference...but wasn't he married to a singer at one point?

      George Lucas was never married to a singer, but for a couple of years after his first divorce, he was seen with Linda Ronstadt.

      This is a very clkever and funny nine minute spoof of how Lucas came to write the "Star Wars" series. It started out on the Internet and is now on DVD along with other spoofs by the same film makers. Just Google "George lucas in Love" and you'll be able to find where to puy it.
