Star Wars Republic Commando: True Colors - THX 1138 Movie Reference

08 Sep 2008 | Sent in by Bob G

In the book 'Star Wars Republic Commando: True Colors' by Karen Traviss, there is a not immediately obvious reference to a George Lucas early film. On chapter 14, page 345, Darman goes in search of Fi in the med bay. On this page you read that the med droid says: "B eight, tank one-one-three".

One of George Lucas' early short films was Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB, later remade into the feature film THX 1138. References to 1138 (and sometimes to THX) are scattered throughout Lucas films, Lucasfilm productions and LucasArts other products, such as this book.
