I'm almost done with ANH, I just need to rescan the original poster.

(I've got higher rez. versions but photobucket doesn't allow images >250 kb)

These are great- very professional looking.

Episode II: Shroud of the Dark Side

Emperor Jar-Jar
“Back when we made Star Wars, we just couldn’t make Palpatine as evil as we intended. Now, thanks to the miracles of technology, it is finally possible. Finally, I’ve created the movies that I originally imagined.” -George Lucas on the 2007 Extra Extra Special HD-DVD Edition

Now why on earth would someone want an Episode III cover yet? (*COUGH*)

Awesome job - some of the best I've seen. I like the cleanliness of it. To me, the official covers were always so...cluttered.

Somebody needs to provide wannabegeorge with some webspace or some space on an FTP.... we need these covers in hi-res! They're great!!

To contact me outside the forum, for trades and such my email address is my OT.com username @gmail.com

Those look really good, dude! You should make a cover for lots of things that match that set... I would use all of them. Like a Holiday Special one and a Clone Wars one and some MagnoliaFan edits... Yeah, that would be cool.

Thanks for the comments!

I should probably thank those who provided scans, namely Laserschwert (for the Special Edition and prequel posters) and Mr Freeman (ROTJ). I'd also like to offer a big thanks to ChainsawAsh for his/her title treatments.

klokwerk - I'm happy to upload them, but I don't have any space If you want, you can PM me with your email and I'll send you the big versions

Jaster Mareel - I'll definitely be doing some TR47 covers, more or less along these lines. I'd certainly consider doing others, but I haven't seen Clone Wars or the Holiday Special. Are they worth the trouble (specifically finding a copy of the Holiday Special)?

I like them, my only complaint would be the placement of the titles. They look as if they are too high on the OT covers and watch where you put them when laying over colors. They made a mistake with the way they laid out the ROTS poster and the title basically becomes absorbed by the background.

Hardcore Legend - I agree 100% on all accounts. I just plopped the new logos over where the special edition logos used to be, but because these logos are a lot ... um, quieter, it doesn't work well. Plus I haven't included the poster credits (whatever thay're called); as a result the balance is off. Actually, I updated them using the same height as on the prequel posters, which works great. Silly me
As far as ROTS goes, I agree the logo gets lost, but I'm hesitant to mess with it too much. I might put a black glow around the text to make it stand out a bit more, but beyond that, I'm just too "must be like original poster" - o_O

Those are excellent, can't wait for A New Hope. In Jedi why did'nt you use the Teaser poster at the back of the cover.

He didn't use it for ESB either, did he? I always thought the glittering Vader was the advance art.

Right you are.

To be honest, I don't know TOO much about the posters ... I just used the ones most people are familiar with for the OT. For ANH and ESB, I've used style A and for ROTJ, I've used style B (none are advance posters.) The advance posters for the OT are just not well known. ANH is text, ESB is the vader and stars and ROTJ is REVENGE of the Jedi ... they just don't seem appropriate to me. I'm trying to be a bit mainstream with my designs. (For more info, check out http://theforce.net/collecting/posters/ )

BTW, it's proofreading time. I've got them up on grisan:

Episode I
Episode II
Episode III
Episode V
Episode VI

Lemme know if I've misspelled things. I'm terrible that way

edit: Thanks Knolly!

Anyhow, I LOVE the covers. I actually joined the forum just now mainly so I could compliment you on them. ^^
I plan on getting the aluminum 12-disk, 3-part collector box (no DVDs, just the box), and if you keep making this series, I'll definitely by printing them all out for my DVDs to have matching cases.

Excellent work wannabegeorge, excellent work indeed.

Thanks for the comments guys. Before anyone prints these out, I should warn you that I've noticed NUMEROUS spelling errors, etc. I'll update them as soon as I can. Hopefully I can get to my storeage space tomorrow and deliver ANH too

I think you'd better check your ratings reasons for Empire and Jedi:

ANH
Rated PG for sci-fi violence and brief mild language.

ESB / ROTJ
Rated PG for sci-fi action violence.

What mild language?? You are not refering to Owen's "...Hell to pay" statement???

Would anyone mind especially if I just left out the rating reasons? They'd be hard to scan, and it's not a requirement that DVDs have them on the packaging ...

No, I don't see why it's needed.

Also, does anybody have high resolution images from the Clone Wars micro series?

I'm willing to do other covers too if people are interested AND can get me good images for the cover and back. Heh, and not to be too demanding, but if it's something I'm not familiar with, I'd need body copy (the text).

That Grievous pic is strange.
