My anamorphic set actually has inserts but I don't like them very much. One problem is that each disc has over 70 chapter stops. That's a lot of information to fit on there. I like the idea of a multi-fold booklet type insert similar to those with the LOTR DVDs.

For anyone who's interested, I'm going to be starting work on the chapter inserts this weekend. I'll start by sitting down with the movies with the chapter display on and a pad of paper for writing down what seems to be a good title. Then, once I've done that, I may attempt the design element myself, unless is interested in helping. Right now, I'm planning on a format that will print off on one side of a page but will fold over to have a front-and-back design. If anyone has any ideas, I'm definitely open to them; just PM me or let me know in the forums themselves. We're really seeing a lot of really nice cover designs, and I feel that chapter inserts would enhance the overall appearance of our Star Wars Trilogy sets. Also, for the bonus disc, I was thinking of having a sort of menu map instead of a chapter listing (for obvious reasons). The menus aren't really complex, but it would be interesting to have.

The multi-fold booklet is a really great idea, Obi-Wan! I don't know why I hadn't thought of it, since I just watched one of my LOTR DVDs the other day. After reading your suggestion, I have pretty much decided that trying to cram all 70-some chapter titles on one side of a two-sided insert (even if they were to be distributed in two columns), really wouldn't be the best choice. Unfortunately, I don't have the resources to make a multi-fold booklet like LOTR, but I'll try to come up with a booklet design that will incorporate the general style of the LOTR inserts. When they do get finished, they'll probably have a 'some assembly required' notice from me, since I'm working with very minimal resources.
Thanks for the suggestion!
