Great Idea For DVD Disk Art

Hey there!!!

I have a great idea that maybe you totally awesome graphic designers can make a reality. The work you guys do for the DVD cover is phenomenal!!!

What I would like to see is some new DVD disk art. First, if you have the official DVD release of Episode 1: The Phantom Menace....pull out the first disk...
See how the disk is Darth Maul's face taking up the whole thing? It would really, really, really be awesome if one of you talented individuals could do disk art for the
rest of the saga just like that and follow this scheme:

Episode 1: Leave this exactly like the official one we already have.
Episode 2: Have Jango Fett's face (or you could do a Clone Trooper - then you would have to do Boba's face on Episode 6 then)
Episode 3: Have General Grievous' face
Episode 4: Do a Stormtrooper face
Episode 5: Darth Vader face
Episode 6: Jabba face (or Boba Fett, that is if you do a Clone Trooper for Episode 2)

Keep the STAR WARS and the episode roman numeral the same as well as the title all in the same place. Basically, take that Episode 1 Disk 1 Darth Mail face disk and do the exact same thing for the other 5 movies but changing the face.

This would be the ultimate matching disk art set. I seriously thought Lucas was going to follow with this on all the films, but that was crushed when I saw the Episode 2 disk when it was released. This has been on my mind ever since...

Anyone up for taking a crack at it.....I would bow to your greatness if you could do it!!!

I thought about something similar about two years back, but never got around to doing it myself (got tangled up in acquiring LDs and LD players...). The Faces LDs have stormtrooper, Vader, and Yoda for 4, 5, 6. I sorta thought Yoda was anomalous -- all the other ones are Dark Side!

Not a bad idea. Although I think the Episode 1 disc is airbrushed and not an actual photo. New covers would need to have the same feel. I tried the same idea with the 2000 Special Edition Release, and they turned out pretty well. I based the design on the VCD disc labels from that release.
