Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace
(DVD)
Bloopers:
---------
On the first disc, go to the [Options] menu and type
[1138] using your remote control. On some player models
you will have to press [10+], [1] and wait for the pause
as the player accepts the input. Then press [3] and wait
for the pause. Finally, press [8]. This will take you to
some incredible bloopers from the movie, complete with
DVD credits.
Podrace Extras:
---------------
Insert the second disc of the set, and go to the
[Deleted Scenes and Documentaries] menu screen.
Once there, select [Deleted Scenes Only] and on the
page that says [Complete Podrace Grid Sequence],
highlight the [Doc Menu] and then press the [Right]
arrow key on your remote control to highlight a small
button. Now press [Enter] and you’ll see a video clip
on the making of the Podrace sequence.
In the same [Deleted Scenes] menu, browse to the
[Extended Podrace Lap 2] page. Once again, highlight
[Doc Menu] and press the [Right] arrow key to select
the button. This will give you access to a featurette
covering the extended podrace sequence and elements
that have been removed.

the [Audio] key on your remote.
TATOOINE - during the Attention warning screen, press

Palpatine's Hologram:
---------------------
On the second disc, select [Trailers and TV Spots] and
press [Enter], then select [Go To TV Spots] and press
[Enter] again. While there, if you wait for the music
to run its course (it runs 19 seconds) three times,
Palpatine's hologram will appear and tell the Federation
leader "We must accelerate our plans."
Impatient Watto:
----------------
Also on the second disc, select [Animatics and Still
Galleries] and press [Enter]. Wait again for the music
to play through (also 19 seconds), this time twice, and
Watto will fly by and say "Hey, Offworlder! Pick something
or get out of my shop!"
DISC TWO EASTER EGGS:
---------------------
From the individual deleted scenes interface, there is a small button on one of the projector arms of the laser doors.
To access this button, move up to the “Doc Menu” selection and press right. This button can only be activated from the first two scenes, and leads to introductory interviews and explanations that appear to be…get this…interview segments that have been deleted from the Deleted Scenes Documentary, which is almost enough to boggle the fanboy mind.
Within the "Animatics and Still Galleries" section, don't make any selection and let the audio repeat twice. Wato will fly out and prod you to make a selection.
Go to Television Spots / Tone Poems and let the menu cycle through. A holographic image of Darth Sidious will appear before Viceroy and say, "We must accelerate our plans."
