I thought I made it clear but if not, I should restate it. "THX 1138 was derived from Logan's Run" meant that it came from Logan's Run.
Once upon a time; people actually got their Sci Fi from books and so I must apologize for not making the distinction. THX got its story from the novel Logan's Run
.
I thought this was about "remakes" of earlier films. Many films are derived and influenced by books , but that in no way makes it a "remake". Why can't you just say "oops" I made a mistake instead of backtracking? I won't think any less of you...I make mistakes all the time and am no longer embarased admit to them. Also the book Logan's run was 1st published in 1969 and Lucas student film "Electronic Labyrinth THX 1138 4EB" was made in 1967. His film I am certain was influenced By the books "1984" and "brave new world" as well as other less famous science fiction. I am surprized George hasn't sued Nolan for stealing ideas from his film.
