Hay David, re TPM didn't Lucas demand that theaters install 6.1 audio systems for the film as well?

I seem to recall this.

No. My theater didn't do it. He may have wanted it, but didn't require it. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 10, 11:58 14
- researching a bit, it looks like you're right--Lucas encouraged all theaters to bump up to 6.1 but didn't require it to screen - Mark HaML Dec 10, 12:01 13
  - You're on the right track. He strongly encouraged it, and some Star Wars fans gave a few non-upgrading theaters a hard time. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 10, 12:40 2
    - IIRC, all theatres showing TPM had to be THX certified. -- nm - Inigo Dec 10, 12:42 1
      - ah-ha! That's it--and I conflated it with 6.1 over the years. -- (edited) - Mark HaML Dec 10, 12:43
  - fuck you, George. *punches Lucas in the dickhole* - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 10, 12:03 6
    - If they could clone an effin dumb-ass stormtrooper, couldn't they have cloned a bunch of Darth Mauls? -- (edited) - Spawn Solo Dec 10, 12:05 5
      - *pstt* they did in the Legacy books -- nm - Remlik Dec 10, 12:25 3
        
        They brought Maul back in the Clone Wars which is verry much cannon -- nm - eag Dec 10, 13:15
        
        canon? -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 10, 12:33 1
        
        not anymore. But Maul and Vader did face off. -- nm - Remlik Dec 10, 12:55
      - dude, - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 10, 12:08
  - old age. Memory is the first thing to go - decline Dec 10, 12:02 2
    - you're right--wait what are we talking about again? -- nm - Mark HaML Dec 10, 12:04 1
      - kids, lawns, whatever -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:17
