John;

I like that bit of information! Getting back to THX 1138 - it had a message at the time and I still enjoy the movie. I recall when BART was being built and Lucas did his filming in the tunnel. How he pulled it off I will never know!

I still remember Market Street as a trench about 50 feet deep and from side walk to side walk from the Ferry Building up to God knows where.

I have heard stories that Lucas does not want to talk about the movie and does not like to have it shown. If those many stories are true then why would he have so many references to THX 1138 in his other movies, etc.? Life is strange and all that. :)

>>The movie you refer to was THX-1138 which if memory serves was the ID # of the storm trooper that Luke Skywalker pretended to be as he emerged from the Millenium Falcon. Not to mention that THX is Lucas's sound technology. Makes you wonder what's up with that.
