Sorry, I'm just really excited about this one!

Nanner, Haha... The "Star Wars" trailer will be out within 2 weeks probably. It's gonna be the hardest yet I think. But, I'm up for the challenge.

I think an OT style poster would suit this project too-- the original Godfather posters had similar lay-outs. Maybe I can put together some cool elements for you, Steve.

MTH, actually, I've been bouncing different ideas around in my head for what I'd like to try. I know it's a little early to be talking about DVD covers, but I'm thinking of holding a contest for the best DVD cover art, just as inspiration, if nothing else. I'm trying to avoid all of that Struzan-inspired poster art where you have all the characters in a collage. It's just been done to death. I'd really like a look that's unique, something iconic.

I have three different ideas for possibilities that I'd like to see:

1) The first is, one symbol that represents the whole saga of Anakin and Luke in a very sleek, exciting, and compact way. Like the Godfather. Akin to that Special Edition "medallion" thing they were doing in '97. Or I also always loved These Covers. Simple, yet very effective. If we could do half of Luke's face at the top and the opposite half of Anakin's face at the bottom, with the Star Wars logo in the center, I think that'd look good.

2) The second I idea I had was to take the comic book versions of the episodes and create a cool cover for each of the three episodes using just the comic book art with scenes from the movie in little strips going across the top and bottom or sideways... where ever.

3) The third idea was ( and I know it's been done already, but) to make it look like Kenner action figure packaging, or I really loved those bubblegum card covers Coov came up with a while ago. THOSE were awesome. Something nostalgic that brings you back to having Star Wars in your life as a kid.

Here are links to the logos I've created so far. I'm no photoshop expert, but it's been getting us by. If anyone would like to venture out to try any of these concepts or something else entirely, please submit them.

If your work is chosen, we'll put you on a short list of people to receive the edits from us personally as soon as they're done.

Thanks to all!

By the way, UPDATE on the Mace/Palps duel - TJ and I burned the scene to disc last night to see how the totally re-built soundtrack sounded on our surround systems. And we were VERY pleased with how it turned out. We'll be posting a short clip of that duel soon.

Stay tuned!
