!!Tropes associated with THX:
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: THX teamed up with Creator/DreamWorksAnimation to create a ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'' trailer. For the longest time, it was believed that Creator/{{Disney}} was very irate about the ''Shrek'' trailer since it was originally going to be featured in theatres before {{Creator/Pixar}}'s ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'' (which was scheduled to be released on the exact same day as ''Shrek'''s DVD/VHS release) since the trailer featured characters from Pixar's then-fledging competitor. Disney themselves eventually denied this claim however, and THX stated that they willingly pulled the trailer so they could avoid being associated with a specific film. Five years later (after ''WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird'' was still in production), THX uploaded the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2lxSxL5eLI trailer]] onto their website.

Oh yeah, there's one other thing this company is known for: the infamous "[[https://youtu.be/uYMpMcmpfkI Deep Note]]" that showed off how sound can ''really'' sound... and gained a reputation for its loudness even after almost 40 years.

In the early 1980s, when Creator/GeorgeLucas and his team were developing ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', they took notice of how sound would be all over the place when you normally watch a movie. There was no control or direction over where the sound can be when you watch a movie. So for the film, the Creator/SkywalkerSound team introduced a ''new'' way to listen: a revolutionary new sound system that would provide the clearest audio experience at the time. Movie theaters started requesting the sound system to be implemented into their theaters and by the time ''Return of the Jedi'' was released... [[https://www.thx.com THX]] (named after the film ''Film/THX1138'') was born.

Since then, many would see (and hear) THX in many productions and theaters, and more formats would be introduced, most notably home video. In 2016, the company was acquired by Razer, Inc. and since then still dedicates itself to provide the best audio experience.
