Yeah that was a great recolour IMHO.
It doesn't always suit the material though. That sample that is posted above does not look good. Recolouring Vader to be all shiny doesn't really work to add glamour, when he's poorly drawn in the first place (The details are all wrong). The original "cheap" and gritty colours work better with the original inks. Also the original features a careful and striking colour compositionwhich is totally gone in the recolouring. All visual contrast is erased. The SE indeed.
btw I much prefer the original version of that Boba cover. The original is waaay more striking and less bland.
