'''Trailer:''' In a darkly-lit environment, we zoom in toward a glassy {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} sphere, which has clouds rolling and lightning flickering. As the environment illuminates, we see that the sphere is barely hovering over a textured {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} floor. Suddenly, the sphere shatters, and the sky is revealed to contain several rolling {{color|gray}} clouds. The glass then liquefies and gathers in the center. Some lightning strikes it and forms a {{color|silver}} THX logo. If you look closely while the logo forms, you can see rain pouring down. Then, the environment fades to black as "LUCASFILM", spaced out to fit the width of the THX logo, fades in on top of it and a shimmering {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} rectangle (the same one from "Broadway") is drawn clockwise around the logo (like a laser). The logo fades out as the text "Digitally Mastered for Optimal Audio and Video Performance" fades in. | '''Trailer:''' In a darkly-lit environment, we zoom in toward a glassy {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} sphere, which has clouds rolling and lightning flickering.

Don't expect this to appear on the bonus "original theatrical version" <!--I put it in quotes since the bonus discs themselves were heavily criticized for using the laserdisc transfers!--> discs to the 2006 separate re-releases of the original ''Star Wars'' trilogy (to which it would later be released as a box set in 2008), despite the 'THX Optimizer' option being featured in the set-up menu. | ||
