If you asked us to name our top five films of the year, we'd probably include the trailer for Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, the first installment of George Lucas' three prequels to the Star Wars trilogy. It was the best two minutes to hit theaters since Ray Liotta's Henry Hill wound his way through a crowded nightclub in Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas. Unfortunately, it whetted our appetite for the new film much too soon; it's not even being released until mid-May, and already we're trying to decide how we're going to ditch work to stand in line for tickets. Luckily, Sega GameWorks has just installed its latest attraction, the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade. The game is patterned after the three original films (Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi for those who still don't know the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek), allowing players to ride, fly, and shoot through six stages featuring scenes taken from each of the films. That's enough to satisfy us. For now. Sega GameWorks is located in the Grapevine Mills Mall, 3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway, just off Texas 121. Call (972) 53-
