Just in time to reap the Thanksgiving bounty, George Lucas' latest space opera is "attacking" home video on November 12, 2002. Even better yet, for the first time in the Star Wars universe, Attack Of The Clones will debut Day and Date on DVD with VHS.

And what a DVD it will be. Here are the highlights:

- At least 4 documentaries chronicling the long production process of an epic movie this size, including the famed web documentaries.

- "Across The Stars" music video courtesy of John Williams

- A plethora of stills, TV spots, trailers, posters, etc. that will have every Star Wars fan drooling.

The VHS will include 6 deleted scenes and a special introduction to Star Wars feature hosted by C-3PO and R2-D2.
