Actually, there is a reference to THX-1138 in some form or another in most films Lucas has made since THX-1138:
American Graffiti: the number-plate of Paul Le Mat's deuce coupe in American Graffiti is THX 138
A New Hope: THX1138 can be seen on a cave wall when C3PO and R2D2 are captured by the Jawas.
A New Hope: The cell where Luke and Han are "transporting" Chewie is number 1138
Empire Strikes Back: General Reeikan (Boa) says, 'Send Rogues Ten and Eleven to sector thirty-eight (11-38)
Star Wars (novel): When Luke re-emerges from the belly of the Falcon in his newly acquired Stormtrooper uniform, the officer asks 'THX-1138' why he's not at his post. In the film this was "TK-421, why aren't you at your post."
Raiders of the Lost Ark: When Indy gets off the Nazi Sub inside the hidden dock, you can hear over the loudspeaker, "ein, ein, drei, oct." (German for one-one-three-eight.)
Raiders of The Lost Ark: When Indy is fighting the bald guy at the airplane, the number on the plane is 1138.
The Phantom Menace: Near the end, when the droid control ship has been de-activated, there is a shot of the back of a battle droid. He is number 1138.
RUMOR: George Lucas phone number was 849(THX)-1138
That's all I've been able to find so far. It is assumed that there is a reference to THX1138 in every star wars film, but that actually might not be true.
Here's a quote from the OFFICIAL site:
Q: I've heard that THX-1138 is in every Star Wars movie, but I can't find it in Return of the Jedi. Is it there?
A: (Steve Sansweet, fan relations): Well, we assumed so. But frankly, we can't find it. And we've asked some of the crew on Jedi, who should know. It might be written small on some model, but as far as an obvious reference, we're stumped. That goes for Episode II too... unless someone is holding back on us for the ultimate Easter egg!
If anyone knows of more, post away.
