Star Wars--Episode II

1999–2004October 18, 2001Macs Only!Games
The Star Wars Phantom Menace 2-disc DVD release has Star Wars fans that use Macs in a snit. The DVD movie CD and extras CD released Tuesday play fine on our iMac DV with Mac OS X 10.1. However, the DVD extras CD contains a hyperlink that takes you to dvd.starwars.com which requires Windows-only software, InterActual Player, to view the content. The main reason for the angst is that it is expected to have the trailer for Episode II on November 9. Workaround: the dvd.starwars.com content in QuickTime is posted here (an 8 MB download). It's a series of stills from Episode II. But who did it? The file is posted on an Apple/Akamai server.
