Scene of the guys comparing cover art for the video releases, one guy holds up the DVD cover art for Star Wars:
"George let one of his daughters play with Photoshop."
"Awwww."Damn, I laughed hard for a few minutes at that one. :D
It really is tremendous how bad the covers have gotten over the years. It's been a general trend in films in general, much lamented by, by none other than Drew Struzan himself in The Movie Posters of Drew Struzan (worth your money), in which he talks about how the studios generally screwed him over several times and have now all but given up anything but the floating heads photo collage approach.
To Lucas's credit, he did hire Struzan for the SE posters and the Prequels, but the mind boggles at why LFL would release the covers they have been releasing over the years when they have some of the best artwork ever created for film, period.
Not to mention the blu-ray art... Ugh.
