TRON: Legacy's Rinzler is named after Lucasfilm executive editor, J.W. Rinzler. In addition to his work at Lucasfilm, J.W. Rinzler is also a New York Times bestselling author. His titles include, The Making of Star Wars, The Complete Making of Indiana Jones, The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and The Making of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.
Fans of the original TRON may have noticed the pair of geometrically organized fireworks to the left of the light cycle scoreboard. The orange octahedron-shaped fireworks are inspired by Bit, a grid character from TRON. Considered of the one of the earliest CGI movie characters, Bit communicated with simple YES & NO answers by changing its shape. A red geometric spiked star signified NO and a yellow-orange octahedron conveyed YES. The Bit fireworks in TRON: Legacy seem to be saying YES-YES.
