Second one reminds me of the Atari game for some reason, haha.  Nice job!

There are some typos in your covers, Nick:

"thirty" is spelled incorrectly on the second line

"Though," should be something like "However," to be gramatically correct

"executive producer George Lucas", fourth line

"thirtieth", fifth line

 

comma after "Irvin Kershner", first line second paragraph.

 

Sorry to nitpick, but I do so because I love your covers and want to use them. :)

Yeah, it's always a good idea to have a fresh set of eyes go over text like that. But anyway, they're all very nice. I think I'd like a mix of the first front cover and second back cover the best, though the colors go nicely together as is.

Thanks, Silicon.  Covers updated and uploaded.  And considering how they are designed, it's entirely possible for anyone to swap fronts and backs.  If you open them in Photoshop, they do have guides separating the front, spine, and back to make that easier.

So many awesome choices! I'll probably go with the Atari one because it has a special place in my heart...

Sweet covers.  I like the Fett one best I think, just because that's not art you often see.

Any disc labels?

Okay, nobody has a label...here's a brief one I ran up for my use, to match the Fett Head cover.

 

PM if you want it in larger res.

Why not just use the Fett head?

Why not? Because it's boring to have the same cover art inside and out.  This keeps the theme of "promotional art".

Awesome cover work, everyone!

But, I hate to be this guy, but would anyone have Imrahil's Boba Fett label for this reconstruction work? It would be fantastic if someone did.

I absolutely love these. I like it how they iconically sum up the films without being too crowded. I favour the Atari styled one especially, because it sums up the title perfectly to an ironic simplicity, that is the empire, striking back. As much as I love the original poster art I think they're a bit too crowded and busy to serve as dvd covers, epic as they may be (no offense to Michalak, you did a great work nevertheless).

Still, although I know there's a specific thread for requests, I would like to ask AvP if he would be nice enough to create other covers in the same Atari-inspired style for the both ANH and RotJ, replacing the bits referencing Adywan for some sort of generic text like "theatrical version" or whatever. From all the covers I've browsed in this section this is by far my favourite, and I would very much appreciate to have future theatrical reconstructions with similar cover art.

Still, great work, and thanks for these. 

Ignorant of many things, but still a real bro.
