Filmed in 2002 and released in theaters in 2003, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones backwards compatibility was unknown to most moviegoers when they walked into their local theater. However, thanks to a dedicated fan base willing to explore every nook and cranny of the film’s coding, retro gamers were able to unlock several secret scenes and audio tracks not seen by the general public.
As it turns out, while Attack of the Clones may have been released on DVD fourteen years ago, Lucasfilm was still tinkering with its encoding standards. Therefore, several deleted scenes and musical cues found their way onto bootleg versions of the unofficial release known as The Clone Trilogy Special Edition. Thanks to these unsanctioned releases, savvy fans were able to piece together enough information about Episode II’s coding so that reverse engineering could be done…and thus Attack of the Clones became backwards compatible!
While this discovery is sure to delight superfans worldwide who enjoy deep dive analysis into their favorite films (especially those from a decade ago), there is no telling how long these alternate cuts will remain hidden away for audiences new and old alike. As technology continues moving forward at an ever-accelerating pace, it seems less likely that any other hidden content within older movies will eventually be uncovered…unless course future generations take up reverse engineering once again!
