Actually THX 1138 is goes way farther back in time than that.

THX-1138 was a futuristic science fiction prison movie by George Lucas, filmed in 1969 but released in 1971. It was his first movie made as a school project while a film student at USC

It is renowned for the Lola T70s used in the chase scenes (and their destruction)

Lucas used the THX and 1138 monikers in pretty much all of his movies since them, like the license plate on Milner's coupe and various Star Wars references.
