Here is a cover I assembled:
For those familiar with Falle's excellent covers, you'll notice some similarities, because I borrowed some of his graphics to make my cover: the "Digitally Mastered" logo, the ROTJ poster art, and the spine graphic (from a different set). I manually removed the stars from the spine using the GIMP (this took quite a while!). Then, I imported the graphics into Inkscape and arranged the graphics and text. I used the shareware Panther font for the credits, and spent quite a while tinkering with the alignment, font sizes, and spacing; I think I finally got it.
I was somewhat hesitant to post the cover, as it isn't really all my work. But, if I had access to the artwork and fonts, I would have done it all myself. I decided to post because I figured that people are more interested in variety than copyrights (since pretty much every cover here is a copyright violation anyways). But, if these types of fan edits are unwelcome, please let me know.
Return of the Jedi is my favorite of the trilogy, so I did this cover first, but I plan to finish the other two when I have time.
For a 300dpi PNG version and Inkscape/plain SVG's, please visit my website:

I welcome any feedback. In particular, do all the colors go together okay, or would you suggest any adjustments? I'd like to scan my prequel spines to try to get a closer match with ep. 1/2/3, so that part may change soon.
Thanks!

Thanks. I might do the PT sometime, but right now I probably won't.
I've uploaded my 2nd version. Now the only things from Falle's covers are: the "Return of the Jedi" text bitmap, the "VI" bitmap, and the artwork bitmap (btw, is there a source for this art besides scanning VHS tapes?). Now it should match the end of hte PT fairly well. I was not able to scan the 20th centry fox logo in great enough detail to capture the "Home Entertainment" text properly, so I left that off. I also left off a couple (R)'s and a TM. I'd like to include the year and running time, but haven't decided how to do it yet.
