    To be perfectly honest, I don't watch extras that much. And If I do watch them, they only get the one viewing.

    But it was a pretty damn loaded DVD. Just a shame that the film wasn't up to much. Not that that stopped me from seeing it multiple times at the Cinema (first time round I was an uber sad Fanboy and flew to NY to see it before it came out over here) or buying the DVD.

    Thank god that EPII was much better!:D

    the special feature on the ep1 dvd were perhaps the best i have seen. the hidden outtakes were a riot, the real long vid of them actually making the movie (clips from casting to premier) was really interesting and funny at times. the multiple starting menus was a real nice touch and the deleted scenes were pretty damn good to. while the ep 2 movie was much better in ways than ep 1 its gonna be hard to top the ep1 dvd.

    Looks like we're getting it first for a change!

    "Star Wars Episode II is to make its DVD and video debut in the UK on 11 November - a day before it is released anywhere else in the world. "

    I have EP I/IV/V/VI in HQ DivX, I get the feeling that it won't be long before II is added to that list... Wish I could afford the DVDs though!

    Star Wars : Episode II - Attack of The Clones R2
    We've had the official word from Fox and here it is:

    As the first major live-action motion picture captured and created directly from the digital source and digitally mastered by THX, the Episode II DVD released November 11th, 2002 allows fans the chance to relive the adventure in the way Writer/Director George Lucas meant it to be seen, with spectacular digital clarity. Highlights include the climactic Clone War battle with over 200 Jedi fighting, the exhilarating Coruscant speeder chase and the 800-year-old Yoda wielding his lightsaber in the ultimate duel.

    The Episode II 2-disc set is packed with over six hours of additional material, including feature-length commentary from George Lucas and the filmmakers, exclusive documentaries and eight never-before-seen scenes. The eagerly anticipated DVD release will carry a suggested retail price on DVD of £24.99. The special edition VHS will include selected deleted scenes and a “Star Wars: Connections” featurette hosted by R2-D2 and C-3PO, who explain the Star Wars story to new fans. The special edition VHS will be priced at £16.99. Consumers can begin pre-ordering in selected retail outlets from September.

    The DVD 2-disc set will be available in Anamorphic Widescreen (Aspect Ratio 2.35:1) and will contain:

    Disc One:

    • Witness the revolution in digital character animation in the all-new, full-length documentary “From Puppets to Pixels,” featuring the creation of digital Yoda, Dexter Jettster and more
    • Exclusive documentary, “State of the Art: The Previsualization of Episode II”
    • Follow Ben Burtt and his team as they explain the process of creating the sound for Episode II in the all-new documentary “Films Are Not Released; They Escape”
