Consolidated Star Wars Font Thread

I think that the issue of which fonts to use to create accurate looking Star Wars materials comes up quite a bit, so I thought I would make this thread to compile all of the important fonts under a single heading. I am going to list as many items of text as I can think of and insert the best fonts (that I know of). Any that I leave blank are needing suggestions of matching fonts. If I am forgetting anything, please post. Maybe this could get pinned.

Lucasfilm Ltd. logo (classic) - ?
"A Long Time Ago..." (classic) - News Gothic/Trade Gothic
"A Long Time Ago..." (new) - Franklin Gothic
Star Wars title crawl - News Gothic Bold (body text/episode number), Univers Light Ultra Condensed (film title)
theatrical subtitles - ?
credits - ?

DVD cover fonts - ???

Hey andy, feel free to post some of the pics I made here.

Maybe this one could be handy also.

If it's not too much trouble, I bet a lot of people would love it if you could make pictures of fonts in all of their correct contexts (going off of what you posted in the SW fonts thread).

Thanks for posting those others, too!

Yeah, I'll do what I can, but I'm not going to do all of them by myself. I don't have time for that. Anyone can feel free to jump in at anytime.

Here are those others..
