4 simple custom blu-ray and DVD covers to hold I-III, IV-VI, VII, and Bonus Materials

Hey all,

I wanted to consolidate my collection. I have the Episode I-III 2013 blu-ray/DVD set, the 2004 Original Trilogy with bonus materials DVD set, the Force Awakens blu-ray/DVD set, and of course Harmy’s burned on DVD. Here are three blu-ray sized covers for Episodes I-III, IV-VI, and VII. I’m using two 15mm 6-disc cases for I-III and IV-VI. I’ve used the 2004 box to create a nice home for all four cases. I’ll be back with images of that if you’d like. The Bonus Materials DVD cover needs some work but I’m fairly happy with the other three.

Here’s the gallery:

Nice Natedeug. You should use the production art for Episode I, II, III and VII. Also, instead of the burned Vader mask, I would use Rey or Luke artwork for The Force Awakens. I would lose the Episode I, II, and III. Just use the name, like The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. But leave the Roman numerals on the spines.

This way it’s all production art and names.

I need to find better resources for Episode I-III concept art. I’d love to make the whole thing concept art like you suggest. If you can point me in the right direction, I’d appreciate it.

I’ve tweaked it a little bit. I didn’t care for the burned Darth Vader mask on the Force Awakens cover either. And I couldn’t find very good concept art of Rey. But I did find a McQuarrie painting from around March 1975, when Lucas had temporarily changed Luke to a female lead. The other sketches of female Luke pretty obviously played a role in how they designed Rey. And in the painting you’ve got Han Solo with a Lightsaber, who reminds me a lot of bearded Luke. And of course there’s Chewie and the droids. The Death Star in the sky even looks more like Starkiller Base than the final Death Star. I think it works pretty well.

There are potato pics of how I’m storing it. Re-using the 2004 DVD set cover. And showing how I labeled the Despecialized Editions.

I’m using easily found blueprints of 1) a lightsaber 2) Han’s Pistol and 3) the Millennium Falcon as interior art for I-III, IV-VI, and VII, respectively.

If anyone can point me towards better resources for concept art from I-III and VII, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks!
