Some also feared Apple would undercut their ability to release films through a sequence of "windows"--first at theaters, then DVDs, then pay-per-view, then HBO and other pay channels, and finally on broadcast and basic cable.
This week, the release of Revenge of the Sith completes a six-movie, 15 hour sequence in which the trilogy of films released in the last six years (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and now Revenge of the Sith) form a prequel to the original Star Wars films released between 1977 and 83, numbered parts IV-VI (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi).
The EMBL researchers claimed in a press release that no personally-identifying information on Lacks or her progeny could be gained from making the sequence public.
