I really admire what they tried to do with these covers conceptually. But the choice of certain publicity photos is very poor. You would think someone with access to LucasFilm archives could get some better pub photos.

The good news is that I think it would be possible to scan these covers when they come out and fix them.

    1. The post-accident Mark Hamill should not be used on the ANH cover. I know there are not many pre-accident publicity photos, but still, this really irks me, as it did on the '04 DVD cover. Something must be done about this. For the good of mankind, we need to put a Photoshop think-tank together.

    2. Replace Vader on the ANH cover with this one:

    3. On ESB, use the right pub photo for Han:

    4. At the very least, on the ESB cover use an Episode III pub photo of Vader that doesn't show-off the skinny neck:

    5. On the ROTJ cover, add some X-Wings in, like on the original poster, to fill in the empty spaces.

    6. Also on the ROTJ cover, use any publicity photo of Vader where he doesn't look like a CARTOON!
