You've done a terrific job of adapting the Arrow format here - it's an unusual choice, but a very successful one.

One thought, and I know others might differ on this view, but as I see it 'Despecialized Edition' (and indeed 'Respecialized Edition') is the name of the reconstruction project; what's on the disc, on the other hand, is simply The Empire Strikes Back.

I prefer to suspend my disbelief where packaging is concerned, and forget for a moment that this is a fan project; particularly apt where a commercial outfit's house style is being used. What if ESB was a little less mainstream and it fell to a more niche label such as Arrow to release it? How would it be sold in that instance?

Not to dismiss or ignore the work put in by Harmy and others by any means, but perhaps the details of the restoration could be saved for the small print in this instance.
