'''Legacy:''' This trailer's rendition of the Deep Note, cited as "the most awesome, powerful, and terrifying audio trademark in the film industry" by No Film School, is frequently referenced and parodied for its capability to be perceived as loud and menacing. This is an aural illusion; the spectrum of frequencies used in the sound, which Gary Rydstrom says makes it "just feel loud", are of sufficient volume for theaters.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Some chimes and wind howling. When the background opens, wind whistles, then various ascending notes and sounds, until a ''Star Wars'' laser-gun sound and a whooshing sound occurs as the THX logo appears and ends with a choir-like version of the Deep Note. The sound for this trailer was apparently created at Skywalker Sound and, according to ''The THX Ultimate Demo Disc'', designed by David Slusser and Marco d'Ambrosio.

'''Availability:''' Rare. Alongside [[DTS]]'s first trailer, this debuted on the original theatrical release of ''Jurassic Park'' (according to the 1998 Lucasfilm THX "The Audience is Listening on DVD" disc and the THX Ultimate Demo Disc), and then it was seen in all THX theaters from 1993 until 1997, as well as online, on the DVDs that came with second-edition and third-edition copies of the book ''DVD Demystified'' by Jim Taylor and on the 2002 Fox Five-Star Collection DVD release of ''Speed''. The "DELL PC" version is exclusive to the ''THX Picture and Sound Optimizer'' disc. The DTS version is all but extinct, only being used on early DTS films such as the aforementioned ''Jurassic Park''; and it took until May 2022 for this variant to be discovered.

'''Legacy:''' The cloudy red background looks quite dated for the time, which is in sharp contrast to the beautiful silver CGI of the THX logo's grand appearance.

'''Music/Sounds Trivia:''' The sound when a piece of metal hits the ground after hitting Tex in the extended version was actually re-used from the sound effects created for ''Toy Story''. The sound effect in question is the same when Buzz Lightyear drops a toy jack he's holding while Woody is confronting him.

'''Availability:''' Might have been common in THX theaters during its heyday, but it can be found on most Pixar movies on DVD such as ''Toy Story'', ''A Bug's Life'', ''Toy Story 2'', and ''Cars'' (the last THX-certified Disney DVD as no other format of ''Cars'' uses THX); as well as some THX demo DVDs and the DVDs that come with all three editions of the book ''DVD Demystified'' by Jim Taylor. Seen online as well. According to the THX Ultimate Demo Disc, the 1998 "The Audience is Listening on DVD" disc and the insert on the THX Picture and Sound Optimizer disc, this trailer was released in time for the film ''Independence Day''.

'''Music/Sound Variant:''' On some earlier home video releases that feature this trailer (like the aforementioned ''Monsters, Inc''. VHS, ''Toy Story 2'' Ultimate Toy Box DVD and the version on the ''Made in Point Richmond'' DVD, as well as both versions on the discs from the second and third editions of ''DVD Demystified''), the logo is slightly louder, and more mooing sounds are added in, and the moo noise heard at the end is heard later.

'''Availability:''' Uncommon. Seen in THX-certified theaters for some time, though for how long remains a mystery. It debuted before ''Alien Resurrection''. The Lucasfilm byline variant can be seen on various THX-certified DVDs from 2000 to 2005, mostly on films from Pixar (such as ''Toy Story 2'', ''Monsters, Inc.'', ''Toy Story 10th Anniversary Edition'', and ''Finding Nemo'') and Fox (such as ''Speed 2'' and ''The Day The Earth Stood Still''), as well as THX Demo discs, the DVDs that came with second-edition and third-edition copies of the book ''DVD Demystified'' by Jim Taylor, and even the VHS of ''Monsters, Inc.'', although Disney Channel's original print of the film plastered this with the VHS version of Broadway instead, possibly due to time compression. The remastered variant without a Lucasfilm byline debuted in the US on ''Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume Two'' on December 6, 2005. (internationally, it debuted on ''Toy Story 2 Special Edition'' on November 28, 2005) A variant is also on the ''Lair'' video game for PS3. Seen online as well. This trailer also appears in the Pixar employees only ''Made in Point Richmond'' DVD along with the Tex logo. It was also seen on the French (2 disc) Ultimate Edition DVD release of ''The Transporter (Le Transporteur)'' and the Japanese DVD releases of ''Waterboys (ウォーターボーイズ)'', ''Check it Out, Yo!! (チェケラッチョ!!)'', and ''Swing Girls (スウィングガールズ)''.

'''Availability:''' Rare. Seen in THX theaters at the time. Although the THX Ultimate Demo Disc claims the trailer debuted in late 1999, this trailer did indeed debut on ''Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace'' in May 1999. This also appears on ''The Adventures of Indiana Jones'' (2003 release only), ''The THX Ultimate Demo Disc'' and the ''Lucasfilm THX Surround EX Demonstration Disc''. Don't expect this to be seen on any Disney DVDs, however.

Don't expect this to appear on the theatrical edition discs to the 2006 releases of the original ''Star Wars'' trilogy, despite the 'THX Optimizer' option being featured in the set-up menu. However, it does make a hidden appearance on the Australian version of the theatrical edition disc to Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, in title 8.
