Those are looking pretty good.  I do like the bold logos on the front.  The comics work very well there also.  Maybe you could make an alternate set with movie posters or stills in addition to the comics.  Both would look great, imo. 

As far as the covers looking a little plain, maybe you could add a textured orange background instead of just the plain one.

 

Thanks!  Yea, giving it some thought, I could probably do a variant of that set with the movie posters for a more traditional look. I'd probably change the coloring on the logos and bars for those to a more 3D gold look, since I donno how well the flat primary color look would mesh with non comic book art. 

Has anyone done any "Official" versions of logos based around the episode titles,  like the ESB and RotJ ones? The ones in that set for eps 1-4 are ones I mocked up using either the RotJ logo as a base (For AotC, and RotS) or just kinda winging it for the other two (Although I think the ANH one looks too small compared to the other 5).  I donno, i just like the stylized episode title logos over the more uniform Star Wars: Episode x styles on the newer DVDs. Like I said, it'd lend itself well to making designs for other DVDs that can match with the set.

As for a gradient or pattern, I'll try a few variations, the reason I wanted to go with a flat color is because that's how the comic design does it. It has a certain simplicity to it.  I was thinking of some kind of symbols in those dead spaces, or i could move that box with the synopsis over and make room for either a "special features" list, or another small image.

I like doing these,  I'm finding it a lot of fun.
