Lucas's aesthetic and style was strongly influenced by it for the Star Wars films and a number of other works, including American Graffiti and his pure cinema short films 6-18-67, 1:42.08, Look at Life, his short film Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB and the feature it inspired, THX 1138.
The video is a parody of the George Lucas film THX 1138, and was rarely seen before being released on Greatest Video Hits 2 and the band's official YouTube page.
The first Roger Taylor song (however with Mercury on vocals) to be released as a single (albeit in selected countries, including the US and Australia, but not the UK), "Calling All Girls" failed to create much of an impact on the charts where it peaked at #60 in the US and #33 in Canada, despite its music video based on the George Lucas film THX 1138.
The tracks on the album contain audio samples from the movies The Prophecy, Jacob's Ladder, THX 1138 and The Thin Red Line.
DeLonge stated that "...it kind of looks like George Lucas' THX 1138, where it's all beautiful naked women and fast cars and concrete and glass architecture."
The aesthetics of scenarios in the laboratory and the excessive use of white, is similar to THX 1138 by George Lucas, a kind of paradigm in the science fiction of the 1970s.
