RFR Q&A #289: The Legend of THX-1138

With it's bleak, dystopian focus on an underground city whose citizens are required to shave their heads, take mood suppressing drugs, work for the state, and abandon physical intimacy, George Lucas's first film THX-1138 is very different from Star Wars. Starring Robert Duvall and Donald Pleasence as men on the run while their entire society is under constant surveillance and android police enforce the law, no exceptions. It's abstract. It's challenging. And it's a little confusing. RFR V.I.P. Scott St. Louis returns to the Q&A and we break down THX-1138 while looking at all the ways it connects to Star Wars and beyond.
