The ''T2'' version was first seen on the ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day'' "Ultimate Edition" DVD, released on August 29, 2000, with the regular version appearing in most THX-certified theaters starting on May 25, 2001 with ''Pearl Harbor''.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20020802072052/http://marcoco.com:80/index2.html</ref> Seen on several THX DVDs, such as ''Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace,'' ''Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones,'' ''Alien Quadrilogy'', ''From Hell'', ''Re-Animator'', ''La Mentale'', ''36th Precinct (36 Quai des Orfèvres)'', ''The Incredibles'', ''Bayside Shakedown 2'', ''THX 1138'' (fittingly enough), the 2004 ''Star Wars Trilogy'' DVD set, and ''X-Men 1.5''; in THX-certified theaters, and on the video games ''NBA 09: The Inside'', ''MLB 08: The Show'', and ''MLB 09: The Show''. It's also the intro to the menu of ''The THX Ultimate Demo Disc''. The final appearance of the Lucasfilm byline variant was ''Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume One'', released on March 22, 2005, and the remastered variant with the THX website URL but no Lucasfilm byline appears on the French DVD releases of ''Ghost Rider'' and ''L'Ennemi Intime'', as well as most THX certified DVDs released by Wild Side Video, and even the HD DVD release of ''Pan's Labyrinth (Le Labyrinthe de Pan)''. 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 (though it is hidden on title 8 of the Australian version of the theatrical disc to Return of the Jedi). | ||
