Magical AppleCentre?

I went to my local AppleCentre (Generation Mac) last weekend, and I saw a very strange sight. They had a PowerMac G4, a TiBook, an iBook, an iMac G4 and an iMac G3 all playing DVDs of Star Wars: Episode 2. How on earth did they get full copies of these DVDs?
 
OK, sorry if this sounds a bit rude, but...

GET A CAMERA, GO THERE, KNOCK OUT ANY PERSONAL YOU ENCOUNTER AND EITHER STEAL THE DVD OR RECORD THE MOVIE, THEN EMAIL IT TO ME! MY MAILSERVER WILL HANDLE IT!!!!!


...was that to direct??? :D :p :D

I always wake up from a nap ...I actually haven't slept since september, 7th, 1998...:D AND THEY SAY CAFFEINE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR SLEEP!!! HAH! NAH! NOT THAT GREEN DWARF AGAIN! IT'S HUNTING ME SINCE MONTHS! GO AWAAAY! GO AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
 
See, uh, the thing about the Macs playing the DVDs (and how Apple acquired them) isn't even slightly bizzare. What is bizarre is that they remained in the machines long enough for you to witness five iMacs with the Star Wars DVDs in them :) How they could have remained there without being stolen within a few seconds is beyond me :)
 
Apple probably get's special edition DVDs years before the official launch of movies, because the majority (if not all) digital effects in most movies now days are made on a Mac. :)

ummm... well i know that for example O Brother and Final Fantasy movies were created on SGI. i thought that most if not all movies were created on SGI. Maya, the popular software for making movies, is brand new for mac, so i find it hard to believe that the majority or all movies are made on mac.

can you provide me with an example, trip?
 
Well, actually, after the shop guy saw me watching the DVD he came over, quitted DVD player, and started up iTunes with a full screen visualisation. This happened almost everytime I looked at a computer using one. He seemed to forget about the PowerMac in the corner, and I ejected the DVD (shoudl have stolen it :p) and was making it to all sorts of odd things.
 
I GUARANTEE that was NOT a Lucasfilm DVD of Ep II... at best it was a DVD burned copy of the trailer or other video availabe on thier site. (Which would be an awesome sales demo of Apple's Superdrive.)

The DVD's don't even exist yet, so obviously there can't be "promo copies"!
 
Also, if you're not a hardcore star wars fan (like I), you may have been confused by a film called "duality". If you have a broadband connection, i suggest you go check it out online at crewoftwo.com and tell us if that was it.

I'm pretty sure it was ep 2. I'm a pretty big fan of SW, so I recognised it. I could be wrong though. And I'm suer it wasn't a burn of an ad for it.
