IMPERIALS RE: Where do I learn all the little SW facts I LOVE to learn? Many sources. Whatever I may happen to see or read, I compare with everything else to see if I consider it canonical, and if I do, I file it away. For what's NOT in the movies, much of what I've learned comes from the technical manuals and the novels. Some people collect figures and such, I like to collect information about the STAR WARS universe.

Well, I don't know about seeing it anywhere, but it was the name of Lucas's first movie, or maybe second. THX 1135(?) was the name of his College Senior Project. It was kind of along the lines of a "1984" type society, where everyone wore the same clothes, and that sort of thing. It was really kind of boring. He didn't get a release print on this movie, so he made a sequel to it, "THX 1138". I'm not sure exactly what number for which movie, but it was something like that. THX 1138 was the name of the main character. > American Graffiti: Carnumber > TIE-Fighter: Containername > Animaniacs (Pinky and Brain): Sign > Star Wars ANH: Cellblock > Maniac Mansion: Safecombination > Zak MacCracken: Housenumber > Duke Nukem (why *that* game?): Somewhere on a wall in Episode 2 THX 1138 Main Character Greetings from Toledo, OH USA --- FMail/386 1.22 * Origin: YRU On-Line (419)-474-1170, Toledo, Ohio.
