Gorgeous...but I didn't even know he did DVD versions. I thought they were all HD.
I was blown away by Harmy's work with the Despecialized Edition, so I wanted to make a DVD cover for it for my copy. I thought that what he did was similar to what the folks at the Criterion Collection do (restore and preserve classic movies in the best way possible), so I borrowed their style to pay homage to both.
* I know there are a lot of other fake Criterion covers out there for Star Wars, but I found most them (as beautiful as they are) just too modern and pretty to truly represent the movies. So I used the classic movie poster art, but arranged the layout/composition to mimic the aesthetic of a Criterion cover.

Yeah, if you formatted this to Blu-ray and made the spine logo the traditional font, I think this would be great! It might be fun to have a stylized "H" for Harmy instead of the Criterion "C" too.

This looks awesome! Are there more like these? I’d love to use this art for my set
Absolutely stunning. Just one tiny spelling mistake in the description: “capture on screen”.
Would love you to do Empire, Jedi and disc labels too!
Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
This is really nice! Be sweet for a Trilogy set (individual cases or one blu/dvd case with all three movies).
This is from July 2014, and the OP was last on here in July 2014.

SONIC RACES THROUGH THE GREEN FIELDS.
THE SUN RACES THROUGH A BLUE SKY FILLED WITH WHITE CLOUDS.
THE WAYS OF HIS HEART ARE MUCH LIKE THE SUN. SONIC RUNS AND RESTS; THE SUN RISES AND SETS.
DON’T GIVE UP ON THE SUN. DON’T MAKE THE SUN LAUGH AT YOU.
Love this!!
WOW! These are amazing. Would you mind sharing these with me as well, perhaps in a PM.
EDIT: I just noticed how old this post was. If ANYONE that has these could PM me, that’d be great. 😃
Very Nice, As above would love to see your take on Empire & Jedi, and i like the idea of doubleofive and replace the C with a H.
The very talented JMoomer has some similar superb Criterion style covers here - http://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/974732 & http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-Despecialized-Editions-Custom-Bluray-Set/id/49995/page/20
Definitely worth checking out his other top work too (I think he also knocked up some matching disc art for the set below as well?)

No, no. There is a modicum of stupidity involved. There have been so many unfinished Criterion-esque covers that I thought I’d create some unfinished ones of my own. I’m still tweaking them, plus I won’t consider them final until the cases arrive and the test prints look correct. Because the two-disc Criterion cases were sold out on Casetopia, I opted for three-disc sets as well. But unlike njvc, my third disc is the grindhouse version of each. At the moment, I have two designs of each because I like reversible covers, though for Jedi, I may replace the droids cover with non-reversible Ewoks that are revealed when discs are removed (TBD when the cases arrive). Of course, someone can use just one cover and use whatever interior artwork they fancy.
These aren’t done yet in my eyes. I’m open to friendly, supportive, nurturing opinions (and proofreading!) because I just do this for fun. Please don’t ruin my fun.
Also, I initially started out making the discs thematically the same as if they all came as a set, but I got bored of that rather quickly. Instead, each disc is meant to stand on its own.
Enjoy.
