Thanks :-) I was going for something sort of retro OUT looking but fresh and new at the same time.

So I decided for a bluish starry background sort of similar to the European 1995 release and the faces on the fronts of the covers, like in the US 1995 release but I used these paintings which I believe to have never been used for covers before. I had to alter the stormtrooper one, because it also reflected a scene from ANH in the eyes, so I gave it some thought on what could be reflected in the eyes of a stormtrooper in ROTJ and I decided to go for vicious looking Ewoks brutally murdering stormtroopers :-)

Then I found these two nice pics of Luke from SW and ESB but couldn't find a ROTJ one that would fit with them, so I had to make one by putting the face from the SW picture over the face of a Sideshow statue of ROTJ Luke :-)

I used the same nice and plain font (Century Gothic IIRC) for everything on the cover.
