People, have patience!! People do have lives other than the computer! He'll post when he can. For my own personal use (I didn't know what Soulflare would think) I recreated Soulflare's back covers and used them in lieu of Cerbero's for my covers, with a few small modifications, and used my spine and front (again, with a few small modifications). If Soulflare doesn't mind I'll try to get that up with my others when I can, but at this point they're for myself.

ShuMai WELCOME TO THE BOARDS!!!
and must i say those are some kick ass covers..
i enjoy those because they use the original cover art which is very nice to see...

but Soulflare has covers which really do fit the mood of each film, and are totally new to our eyes...
i must say that these are definatly two of the best covers ive seen..

keep up the great work guys!

Yes, I agree these are some great covers, all of them to me. I think each person's intrepretation of the Saga is something worth seeing in large part, but regardless, this is no democracy.


Sorry, I couldn't resist with that great public relations statement in part. Anyway, I have an important question or two regarding all of this. The first is, how should I print these covers? Is there a store I can go to to have it developed? Also, where would I get blank DVD cases, you know the nice ones so I can finally put my OT on a shelf in line with the rest of the DVD's? Any help would be great, I didn't see it covered in the last 10 pages or so.

hey folks,

im working on covers. im mostly reworking what people here have done but heres my twist, im modeling the covers somewhat after my lawrence of arabia one which is cloth with glossy plates glued to the front and back, with gold filigre on the spine.

http://www.greenpete.com/4q2/5.jpg

the black border here is the black paper looking stuff from one of the sets here, i believe it is supposed to match the paper texture in the defintive collection packaging, the black border and the spine are to be printed on normal or at least non glossy paper. the front and back plates are to be printed on glossy photo paper and held in place with a spot of glue, the whole compilation finally being slipped into a normal case. i think the contrast coud be very nice but i havent printed any out yet .

i have always desired to be able to one day line up all 9 episodes of star wars together in a nice neat row, i dont know how people feel about the zahn books but they were supposedly 7,8 and 9 so im designing dvd size case covers for the audio books (which i havent heard yet but the books were pretty good, as soon as i can get a copy of the tapes im gonna either cd them or maybe sacd them). that being said, here are my spines.

http://www.greenpete.com/4q2/spines.jpg

im planning on doing this with the magnoliafan edits which i hope to get a copy of, they seem appropriate to me, this is the peoples star wars here.

the spines are from a photo of my pride and joy star wars wall paper. i have one sheet, it repeats up and down and diagonally side to side, but as it is behind glass i couldnt do a lot with that aspect of it, the edges are slightly cut off by the frame and the glare from the glass doesnt help either, dont know if a photoshop wiz around here would be interested in tweaking it. so the spines for the episodes are from a section of the wallpaper. for the supplemental spine im trying to do something with the image repeating up and down but its hard, the supplemental cover is being designed for a 5 or 6 disc case, to separate the spine from the rest of the set since it breaks the pattern and so i can cram a lot of supplemental material in one case

a work in progress but hope you folks enjoy it, if anybody is interested in my wallpaper at high res itll be here: www.greenpete.com/4q2 for a bit

i suggest having the covers printed professionally...
any print shop will do them...
i've never had any problems anyway..

as for finding DVD cases...
depending on how picky you are, any DVD or electronic store sells them... however they're not nice ones you get when you actually buy a DVD... (not that i've found anyway)
they're usually cheaper ones which have very stiff buttons (the thing you press in the middle of the dvd to get the disc out)
sometimes i think im gonna break the damn disc in half...

if anyone does know where to get nicer dvd cases please feel free to share!

Sorry for the delays, but I was hit with an urgent web job that's kept me busy
for about 8-10 hours per day. The covers printed out pretty well, however a filter
that I applied to a section of the Boba Fett cover (Ep.V) looked fine on my screen
but not very good printed, so that needs to be fixed. The links below are for the
unchanged high-res versions of my episode IV and VI covers:

http://www.soulflare.ca/sw/star_wars_IV_soulflare.zip 2.66 MB
http://www.soulflare.ca/sw/star_wars_VI_soulflare.zip 2.21 MB

I'll try to get the fixed ep. V cover up sometime later this week along with a few of
the requested changes to the three, but I'm making no guarentees.

As for making covers for the new trilogy... umm, no thanks.

ShuMai, I followed your link to the covers, but the largest size covers I could download were only 2268 x 1532 pixels, not the standard 3240 x 2175 pixels. Could you upload the full-sized covers please? Yours are my personal favorite, but I can't use them if they're not the right size.

Thanks, Soulflare!
I'll print 'em out when I get home later today.

I looked around your website too. Very nice.

Hehehe...

Oh I see you took my ROTJ logo and tried to make a revenge logo... Well the G looks horrible, surely you can re-work that, and the "E" is missing the pint where you've pasted in the "V". The E next to the G is missing some of its top point, the "N" is bad as well, oh heck I'll make a good one for you. I'll also post another Empire logo slanted horizontally instead of vertically (the the same extent).

Soulflare... you da man! Thanks for the covers. Looking forward to the Empire cover now as that was the coolest of the bunch.

Oh my God!, I haven't seen the Star Wars Wallpaper for nearly 20 years, I used to have it on one of the walls in my bedroom. It brings back so many memories of the torture I put my mum through hunting through decorating stores trying to find the wallpaper all those years ago.

Yes, everyone's hard work in cover design is appreciated around here! It's amazing what fans can do when they sit with nothing but Photoshop and a love for the films.
Thanks again!

Anyone know when Robin Hood is going to upload the covers he has?

If not, I might have to recreate them myself.

Any reason RETURN (I mean, REVENGE) doesn't have the "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." on the synopsis but the other two do? And could you make an alternate for RETURN and not REVENGE? If you'd rather not I can do it in a jiff, I just need a way to upload when I'm done...

Good news! Figured out how to work that Yahoo Photos thingamajigg...I have all my Cerbero alternates up minus the A NEW HOPE one (the STAR WARS one is up), my original TPM and AOTC, and my original STAR WARS, EMPIRE, JEDI, and ANH covers (the Struzan art ones that is) are going up now. Tomorrow I'll put up all the posters and my Cerbero alternate ANH one, and perhaps my Soulflare alternates (if he doesn't mind), and *MAYBE*disc art at some point. But it won't be a whole hell of a lot different than other available disc art I'll tell you.

IF ANYONE WANTS THEM:

EMPIRE without the Star Wars logo added (found earlier in the thread somewhere)
JEDI without the Star Wars logo added (old font)
JEDI with new font and without the STAR WARS logo added

I don't have a new-font JEDI with the SW logo, but I could make one if it is desired.

Oh yeah, linkage...hehe....here. Enjoy.

Oversight I just fixed; try it again. My Struzan Star Wars cover is also up now with more uploading as we speak.
