Jambe: Yeah, turns out I had a blending option which I'd turned off and forgotten to turn back on before making the preview image. Below is a new revision with that layer effect (an outer glow that brightens up the underlaying image and a slightly bolder stroke) turned on. I've also recapped the screenshots, I was just using Sluggo's as placeholders. I chose to use the same shot of Wicket running from Darth Vader though; it's great.
Revision #1
I figure if the current layer effect doesn't make the title stand out enough... then I could use a white border/stroke instead of a black one. What do you guys think?
