One of the reasons for the continuing appeal of the Star Wars movies is their complexity and depth. Each scene is filled with such detail that repeated viewings are rewarding each time.

Thanks to software from InterActual, the power of DVD and the Internet are combined to provide viewers with a new text-based commentary for the Episode I DVD. If you have a PC DVD-ROM with web access, visit dvd.starwars.com and find out dozens of factoids you may not have known about The Phantom Menace.

The information is divided into three color-coded types: "Lore" information is culled from the ever-expanding Star Wars universe of facts, "Behind the Scenes" provides some insights into the filmmaking process, and "Did you Notice" covers the tiny and fun details you may have missed.

To begin, insert your Episode I DVD in your PC's DVD-ROM drive, launch the InterActual player, and select the starwars.com menu item.
