sorry everything good now.

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.

Very nice. Would you mind making disc art as well?

The disc plays fine in my Sony Blu Ray player. I’m sorry but I don’t remember the model number right now. But I went through the whole menu and everything plays fine.

Could you please be more specific about the bluray discs you used? I’ve tried to find what you are talking about but have come up empty. Thanks a lot.

I used HP double sided brochure paper for the sleeves. I used an epson metallic photo paper for the slipcase and poster folders. When making the slip case I use a roll of 3M dry mount the print onto a thin poster board and double sided carpet tape to close the case. I also use a 3M gloss laminate sheet over the top before doing the folding indentations. The disks were a aqua seal gloss disk. Hope that helps.

For all of us that have been overly enthusiastic and impatient to see your latest creation, we’re sorry.

I guess everybody just got too excited because your blurays are so slick and amazing looking, we all couldn’t wait for the next one and then the next one.

So since a few other cover designers have their own threads, I decided I should make mine to prevent clutter in the main thread. All these designs are presented in order of release, and I will add new ones here as I create them.

Warning: These covers are not to be redistributed without my prior consent. Also, please do not create sets for sale using my designs. Because if I find out, I’ll have to file a lawsuit against you, and I don’t know how that’s going to work!

1992 UK VHS Blu-rays

Originally tailored for the Despecialized Editions. Supplanted by the later DVD iterations below - but still available here.

Arrow “White Box” Blu-rays - The Despecialized Editions

The first versions of covers made with the idea of blending the Star Wars Trilogy with other cult films of the Arrow ilk. Note: The subtitle has since been changed to “Original Theatrical Version Reconstruction”. Available here.

Revisited 2000 VHS DVDs

I’m not entirely sure that the information I’ve given the prequel covers would be relevant, given they’ll get a complete overhaul. 2 and 5 come in both black and white flavours, so you can have a chequered set or a half-and-half set. Available here.

Definitive Collection Combo DVDs

A combination of both the LaserDisc and Executor VHS Definitive Collections. Available here.

Arrow “White Box” Blu-rays - Double Pack

When the Respecialized Edition came out, a double pack of the two Harmy reconstructions was invariable. An additional cover was made for ESB, but Adywan’s 14GB 97SE MKV rendered it redundant. The first is still available on request.

1994 UK VHS Blu-rays

I know Moth3r did them before, but I couldn’t resist… anyway, I wanted to see if I could based on the limited resources I have! May possibly revisit later to convert to Criterion/PS4 size. Available here.

1992 UK VHS DVDs

A significant improvement over the original BD versions, notably replicating the colour schemes of the original VHS covers. Available here.

Arrow “White Box” Blu-rays - Slipcover

A largely experimental prototype of a potential slipcover. Ran into a number of problems making it - for starters, I wasted paper trying to line up the double-sided cover correctly. I also tried using photo paper for the slipcover itself, but it’s a little… sticky. Somehow though, it worked. Unfortunately, this cover is not available at this time.

Angel Blu-ray Prototype

Experimenting with the teal/orange colouration that Angel’s edit is noted for. Unavailable at this time.

Trek Wars Remastered/Revisited DVDs

These follow in the vein of the Star Trek Remastered DVDs. Unfinished; will later be supplanted by Blu-ray versions.

Arrow “White Box” Blu-rays - Reversible sleeve

A box for the entire trilogy. Available here with options for extras from ronwlim, phildesfr’s BD-ROMs or njvc’s BDs.

Arrow “Full Size” AVCHDs

Produced as a tideover until ROTJ 2.0. The discs are all Tom Jung poster art. This cover comes in Criterion/PS4 size to differentiate it from the BDs. Available on request.

Criterion Collection

Something I made while I was in a sort of phase of making Criterion covers. Unavailable at this time.

Team Negative1 Silver Screen Experience

In commemoration of Team Negative-1’s release. Available here. A reissue is anticipated with further details on whatever the BD ISO contains.

I sure hope you have the time and are maybe planning on completing the Criterion Collection that you started. That cover is crazy good looking. How awesome would it be to have those covers with Harmy’s blu rays (Njvc’s editions maybe)? It would be a dream.

Jesus guys, just go to fanedit.info.

The site says “coming soon” There are no fan edits available. Anybody have any news about that?

I do. The edits are available again.

Thank you

OK, I got my graphics issues with phildesfr’s templates worked out, and finished my set for all 3 movies. These, like phildesfr’s, are for standard Blu-ray cases. I also made a tweak in the inserts I linked earlier, both the cases and the updated inserts are available at this link:

Thanks to phildesfr, he did most of the work, I just tweaked them for this set. If anyone sees any errors, let me know and I’ll try to correct them.

Hey cool man, now maybe i don’t need to do the last one.

I vote for still doing the last one. Especially with interior art, for the reverse of the front cover like the first two had.

I vote that as well

Don’t blame the buyers who got suckered into paying for something that they shouldn’t pay for, blame the sellers.

Maybe its not wise to tell the content creator who they can or can’t blame.

Or… maybe have a 50gb version and 2 25gb discs?

You have done a very good thing with these bluray’s. They look like a retail blu ray looks.

Thank you for working so hard and thank you for sharing your hard work with us as well.

That looks so nice!

You’re shouting so softly I can’t hear you.

ToasterBoy said:

I know. But- not necessarily you, Harmy- a lot of fans will simply refuse to be satisfied and will always find something to bitch about. Lucasfilm refuses to release the originals- that’s something to get angry about. The colors for the TFA BD are slightly different from the theatrical version? People get angry. It’s the nature of nerds.

Why are you here?

That 77 crawl gives me the shivers!

TV’s Frink said:

1081p.

Now’s that’s a funny joke. 😃

That might be kinda neat.

Vinnie981 PM sent. Did you get it? Thanks.

Based on the results I obtained correcting the 70mm frames with an algorithm I developed for color correcting faded print scans, I’ve updated the color grading of the conference room scene:

That is incredible! Stunning and rich. Please don’t lighten up the image, it looks perfect!

They are on MySpleen. You need to look again.

gfx said:

We’re out of luck unless somebody uploads this release again. The version from usenet is broken and unable to be repaired and there’s nothing on MySpleen.

Edit: I posted my upload request on MySpleen forums. No response so far.

While I still think this process leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to Star Wars, this looks F#cking Amazing. That shot of Belloq on the Island looking at Indy seals the deal for me. Looks great.

DrDre said:

For one reason only, because that's what the colors looked like in 1977. 

Come on, Darth Vader is solid black with no detail left. You can't seriously say that looks right or good or even "what it looked like in '77" Not a chance, no way.

Also,that's not what Mike Verta's version looks like and he has better sources to judge by.

DrDre said:

Here are three frames of the GOUT Star Wars, matched to a Technicolor IB print. The references came from a source that wishes to remain anonymous, and I cannot show the references themselves, but they are an exact match. The differences are interesting to say the least:

http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/142085

http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/142087

http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/142088

 I'm new here so maybe I shouldn't say anything but that first screenshot comparison corrected GOUT of Darth and his troopers on Tantive IV makes my eyes burn. Blown out whites and washed out picture...you destroy so much of the detail doing that. Why?

On a semi-related note, I did an interview for the Undressing Undergound podcast, in which I talk about Legacy a touch, along with a salad-bar of various other topics.  This is the same show that had TV's Frink on, once, which should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.

 I listened to what you had to say about JJ and I think there are quite a few people that secretly feel the same way.
