I’m currently searching for the last 2 expert commentary tracks from Pablo Hidalgo. Just viewed the one for IV and am in love with the tidbits almost everyone doesn’t seem to know about. I have a list of materials (so far) each film would’ve featured that I put together from browsing the old official forums on Wayback Machine for the individual DVD subjects as well as the release articles.

Here’s the list

Episode I

  • Podracing Introduction Featurette
  • Podrace Lap 2 Featurette
  • Script to Screen
  • “Depth” Commentary
  • Lynne’s Diary (The rest of the entries)
  • Tone Poems (three 15-second spots not found on the DVD)
  • Charity re-release and VHS commercials
  • 4 EPKs (unknown)
  • Photo Gallery
  • “Choices” (a collection of never-before-seen stills including a jaw-dropping awesome shot of Jango Fett.)
  • “Breathing” Preview Video
  • “Mystery” (Teaser Trailer)

Episode II

  • Script to Screen
  • “Depth” Commentary
  • Episode II DVD Trailer
  • Electronic Press Kit (EPK) Featurette - ILM
  • Electronic Press Kit (EPK) Featurette - Music
  • Cutscene from Star Wars Bounty Hunter (Boba Fett)

Episode III

  • Script to Screen
  • “Depth” Commentary
  • “Busted Protocol Droid” Commentary

Episode IV

  • Script to Screen
  • “Expert” Commentary (Added sometime after Lego Star Wars II)

Episode V

  • Script to Screen
  • “Expert” Commentary (Added sometime after Lego Star Wars II)

Episode VI

(Rumored to be unreleased, while the film section existed, it always said that nothing was currently available up until the dvd site files disappeared in July of 2008.)

  • Script to Screen
  • “Expert” Commentary

Wow, fantastic work! I was only previously aware of a fraction of these features. It seems not all of them were exclusives?

I believe Lynne’s Diary and the TPM Teaser Trailer were released elsewhere for example.

I wonder if the photo gallery differed from the one on the physical DVD

The trailers were hosted on Apple.com funnily enough and the official Star Wars site has them on their video page. However the “music video” with the photos of behind the scenes is missing. The gallery if I recall from what I read, featured a mix of film stills and some behind the scenes stuff.

I can remember that there was a small picture-trailer (only static pictures with music, motion picture) for Episode 2 on the dvd.starwars.com page, before the first trailer/teaser was official released… called “Chosen” or something like this

Interesting! I think there’s a trailer for that one on the DVD release. When you say stills was it kind of like those old videos you’d see back in the day on YouTube like image compilations? Was it finished special effects? And about what time frame did it appear?
