Great stuff indeed Cerbero! I love all these covers! Am I the only one who thinks the official ones are photoshopfugly?

One thing though, I'm pretty sure the TR47 set doesn't have the commentary.


No Sweyland, I think the official covers are atrocious, and if you buy the widescreen versions, the spines on the two sets won't match together at all. I don't know what the Lucasfilm art department was smoking when they designed those, but apparently it wasn't good. And Cerbero, good work! I'm half-tempted to use them (I've already got two different cover designs for my set from Rikter, but I might consider yours. I'm just trying to decide if I want mine to match with my prequel DVDs, or if I want to go with some other option, like Rikter's Japanese LD-inspired art or the THX covers or yours, Cerbero. Keep it up!

On the side: if I was an artist, I'd do this, but...I know somebody made up some chapter inserts awhile back, but they weren't sized properly seem to work the best. If someone would be interested, I would tag-team with them on making a set of inserts--they could make the artwork, I'd come up with chapter titles that are more than just dialogue (I could only do this with the anamorphic set, though, since that's all I have). I would probably take my titles from the soundtracks and other sources. We could also add some additional text with some pictures...perhaps the production notes word-for-word, or some info on the different releases of the trilogy. Heck, we could also insert OriginalTrilogy.com in it somewhere... Let me know if you're interested, because chapter inserts would make our sets a bit more professional feeling.
