Exclusive Production Photo Gallery Scroll through a never-before-seen gallery of candid cast and crew shots, each with captions.

Exclusive DVD-ROM Content Your Episode I DVD is a key that unlocks exclusive Star Wars content only available through a special DVD-ROM website. Personally I am very excited about this. And I haven't even ever watched any of the Star Wars films. So with the fact that we were told that none of the films would be released until they were all finished, could we see any other movement in the future? Highly doubtful, but a guy can speculate cant he? |
