You're doing exactly what I did!! And that's why I like it. ;)

P.S. that ROTJ LD cover scan would be awesome... A high quality scan of that would solve all my ROTJ cover problems, LOL.

Very nice. It looks like you had your work cut out for you on the TESB sleeve; that's quite a bit of text (when you have to match kerning rather than just type it out). Additionally, that text is squared up on both sides of each column, which means the original typesetter had his work cut out for him too. That's the kind of typesetting that they do for e.g. newspapers and bibles. Whoever did the typesetting for the original U.S. VHS releases didn't go as far as squaring the text on both sides of the column. 

Here are mockups for the labels:

The variances between each label are because of the variances in the real labels; i.e., the CBS/FOX logo varies in both size and position (relative to the title logo), and so on. I didn't change anything, not even the physical size of the text and logos (the only thing I did was allow space for the disc's hub). Also, they fixed the spelling of "infringement" for the TESB and ROTJ labels.
