"STAR WARS: EPISODE 1 ON DVD - A SPECIAL SKYWALKER RANCH DVD EVENT"
Written by John D. Randall - September 11th, 2001

 

"You know it used to be called Director's Cuts and now it's just called DVD..." - George Lucas

I think that above quote from the special two-day press event for the Episode 1 DVD summed it all up well.

Perhaps well overdue, when LucasFilm and Fox finally officially announced Star Wars Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace to be released on DVD - the DVD community was shocked to say the very least.

A small group of online media was invited to attend a special two-day DVD event at the famous Skywalker Ranch in California on September 6th and 7th 2001.
