Just for fun, I went home and took a look at my _other_ Star Wars DVDs. Didn't have a chance to check out the discs themselves, so I'm trusting their packaging, but...

The only one that claims to be DL is the second volume of "Clone Wars." That surprised me since I didn't remember much content on the disc.

The three dual-feature discs --- "Ewok Adventures," the "Ewoks" selections, and "Droids" selections --- are single-layer flip-discs. I can't imagine that it's cheaper to manufacture a single-layer flip than a dual-layer disc, and one thing I've toyed with is recreating each one as half of a dual-layer disc. (The main reasons I haven't are a) not particularly wanting to watch the live-action features again and b) the fact that the animated features are mulched from the original episodes, which I didn't have at the time I bought these discs.)

The first volume of "Clone Wars": single layer, which makes sense given only an hour-plus of content.

As for "R2-D2: Beneath the Dome," it didn't say. But with half an hour of content, I'd be shocked if it weren't single-layer.
