Has anyone downloaded this yet?

Those QuickTime guys are tricky. You can download the file, but you can not plat it from your hard disk. What's up with that?

Not sure how they do it but I have seen several of the Quicktime trailers that work that way. It apparently gives them a little more control over their intellectual property. On these files the Save Movie or Save as Source is grayed out or that triangle is completely missing from the movie window frame.

This one seems to be the trickiest yet. They have used the kiosk mode a bunch in the past, and have made the movies so that they can not be saved. But if you can view the source, and get the HTTP URL, you have always be able to download the movie file (I use the 'wget' command in Mac OS X) and play it locally. This file downloads, but then tells you that it can only be viewed from StarWars.com.
