We never got the Faces covers in the UK which is a pity because they are the most striking ones on any official Star Wars release.

Consequently, they are my fave DJ transfer menu's by far.

I cannot wait to see them on the big screen and also get my first taste of a Faces set on DVD.

Yeah we did. I have them on VHS. And they are sitting in a cupboard because I really dislike the covers - I mean, Vader is ok, but a generic stormtrooper for Empire? Lame. And a gay photo of the inanimate Yoda puppet? Also lame. I also dislike the colour scheme. When it comes to Star Wars, it has to be the original 70s/80s art or something by drew struzan. That's no reflection on Dark Jedi though, it's not like he designed them, and it looks like he's done a great job of recreating them for DVD, which was his intention. I also like the addition on the AT-ATs and the Final duel etc. They really add something to the boring original images.

EDIT:
I just went back and re-read the post. Looks like Rik made the covers. Nice one mate.
