Then, the hand of a conductor, holding a baton, moves up in the box. The hand flicks the baton, blasting out a {{color|#77c3ec|blue}} "hyperspace" far larger than the box that slowly turns {{color|#89170d|red}}. Once the screen zooms through the other end of the wormhole, there is a silver THX logo slowly zoom towards the camera, against a {{color|#412021|dark red}} abyss. After a cooldown for a few seconds, text reading "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''The Audience is Listening'''}}" fades in, in the same font and color used in "Broadway"; followed by a subtitle reading "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''Lucasfilm Ltd. Sound System'''}}", along with a copyright notice at the bottom right of the screen, and what appears to be the Dolby "Spectral Recording" logo at the bottom left. | ||

Tex the robot, from the previous trailer, drops down from the top of the screen, and shows the viewer a cow-in-a-can toy. He flips it over, but the mooing sound is very faint, and he shrugs. He flies to the THX logo in the background, opens the same hatch in the "X" as his previous trailer, and then pulls out a cable from it. He then returns with the can and holds the cable up with his opposite hand, revealing it to have a plug, and plugs it into the can. Tex flips the can again and more realistic mooing sounds were heard, as the THX logo turns silver and starts to rise up from the middle of the screen to its usual position nearly at the top and shines. Tex smiles and nods when suddenly the THX logo begins to rumble and shake, as if a stampede of cows were heard. Tex sees this, jumps back in surprise, and he nervously flies off with the can and the plug. The cable causes the logo to jolt to its left side for a moment before the plug disconnects from the can, putting the logo back to its normal position. The cable is pulled back into the logo, the hatch closes, and like the last trailer, the black screen with the text "The Audience is Listening" and a copyright info under it falls to the screen. | ||

The environment illuminates, showing 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 gray clouds. The glass then liquefies and gathers in the center. Some lightning strikes it and is forms a silver THX logo. If one looks closely while the logo forms, one 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 camera then zooms out and turns, revealing the background to be a gray BMW car with the iconic "kidney grille". Tex flies on-screen and stops in front of the car, giving a "stop" signal. Tex mutters "Uh oh..." then tries to fly away but ends up getting sucked into the car. He gets flung around the car's engine uncontrollably and is eventually able to stop and regain his balance. He then looks up and sees part of the engine spraying. After spraying for a few seconds, it explodes, and Tex gets covered in black ash. Another part of the engine then pushes Tex up, and he gets chased by another explosion. He manages to escape from the car just in time, but then he loses control and hits the THX logo off-screen. He then stands back up, shakes his arms and foot, looks back at the THX logo, and does a "Ta-dah!" pose. A copyright notice fades in and out on the bottom right. | ||
