This is the best statement of all. Lucasfilm is singlehandedly responsible for creating all of the audio-videophiles, thanks to THX's brilliant marketing in the 90s.

I was into high quality audio and video long before THX came into the picture. And I lost faith in THX certified videos in 1995 when the THX certified Stargate laserdisc came out with......a defective soundtrack! One of the stereo digital channels was slightly delayed, and it was unlistenable in surround sound! Wasn't THX supposed to be a seal of approval that this set matched the filmmakers wishes? The disc was recalled and corrected, but the damage to THX's reputation was done for me.
