Code names
For the releases of each of the theatrical films on DVD, the disc files were given code names in order to help prevent piracy. Each was named after 20th Century Fox employees:


 * "Laura" - The Phantom Menace
 * "Mary" - Attack of the Clones
 * "Charlotte" - Revenge of the Sith
 * "Eve (White)" - A New Hope
 * "Eve (Black)" - The Empire Strikes Back
 * "Jane" - Return of the Jedi
 * "Sunrise" - 2006 limited editions of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi

With each of the DVDs&mdash;with the exception of Revenge of the Sith &mdash;the code names were changed to the film's title for the public copies.
