Main box cover artwork. (Click for larger image)

Not very impressed by this cover at all. It looks like a kid sketched it with pastels for a class project

I really don't understand how this image was chosen as the cover art for the boxset. Pretty much everything bad about it has been nitpicked already, specifically that the entire saga has been boiled down to a little kid where he shouldn't be. Luke Skywalker is practically absent from the entire packaging. All part of the revisionist "it's Anakin's story" nonsense.

But actually, my biggest grip is that the binary suns are one of the most iconic visual images associated with Tatooine, and they couldn't even get that right.

But what's your biggest gripe? :p

I'm going to guess: your nitpicking.

Really, get a gripe, Frink.

Ugh, those covers are horrible! Too busy, too crowded, each too focused on a character it shouldn't be. And who thought it would be a good idea to shove the rest of the main characters into a single corner? The OT one is slightly better, and Darth Vader is certainly a better focal point than Yoda, but it almost seems like they forgot that Luke exists at all.

"Um... we're out of space! Where do we put Luke?"

"Who?"

"Luke Skywalker... the main character of the movies..."

"Oh, that son guy? Eh, let's just throw him on Darth Vader's cheek."

"Um... it's crooked."

"Sorry! Time to break for lunch! Print it!"

Reminds me of that "Star Wars in Concert" poster that had most of the important characters on it.

Here it is:

IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"[George Lucas] rebooted the franchise in 1997 without telling anyone." -skyjedi2005

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

Wow. They didn't get ANY of the main characters on that. All I see is a blank space with an X on it! Well, at least the Blu-ray covers are better than that! =P

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Might need to look closer again. Luke is still missing, however.

Y'got your trifocals on backwards, Frink? That's obviously Luke conducting the orchestra...

This was covered in the other thread. That's Ric. Obviously.

It's Vader from the Dagobah cave in ESB so it's both of them.

Hmmm.. I think I've properly linked to the actual pic. Howabout you go look at it over here:

That video reveal was the biggest load of bullshit I've seen in a long time. The whole thing is, "Let's release a video with no actual video footage, and require thousands of fans to share the page globally to actually watch the whole thing with zero pay off."

Yeah, I remember being livid that Luke was entirely absent from that concert poster. There's probably evidence of me being livid in that topic that xhonzi linked to, but I'm too lazy to check.

Excellent point. I'll bet Total Biscuit will be buying no questions asked. He was a Star Wars fan, right? Because he wouldn't have been on the forum otherwise, right?

Right?

Katie Lucas (daughter) tweeted today:

"I helped pick out the box art for the BluRay set!"

"The haters will always hate, and in the end, they will buy the BluRay."

The war of OOT fans vs Saga fans will continue for another generation :)

Ah. Well, now I know who to place some blame on for those terrible covers. And, no, Katie. I will hate. But I won't always hate provided your father decides to start treating me like a valuable customer at some point in the future. And I can guarantee I most certainly will not be buying the BluRay. And you can take that to the bank. Oh, wait, no you can't because I won't be giving your company any money!

I don't hate Katie. She wrote a clone wars arc that was better than all of the prequels. In fact I'm following her on twitter. (But it does get kind of annoying when she finds something she thinks is wrong any makes a hundred tweets telling people why its wrong)
