In 1971, the very first feature-length film from a young director named George Lucas hit theaters. It was not an instant success, but it marked the beginning of the career of a cinematic visionary who would go on to completely change the nature of how we talk about science fiction movies. And now, thanks to Star Wars: Andor, it feels like the first George Lucas sci-fi movie ever — THX 1138 — is a part of Star Wars canon. Sort of.
