Have you thought of doing a triple or quad disc version? You know, for the whole set in one case?

One thing though, I'm pretty sure the TR47 set doesn't have the commentary.
Whoops, somebody already mentioned it! Sorry!

No Sweyland, I think the official covers are atrocious, and if you buy the widescreen versions, the spines on the two sets won't match together at all. I don't know what the Lucasfilm art department was smoking when they designed those, but apparently it wasn't good. And Cerbero, good work! I'm half-tempted to use them (I've already got two different cover designs for my set from Rikter, but I might consider yours. I'm just trying to decide if I want mine to match with my prequel DVDs, or if I want to go with some other option, like Rikter's Japanese LD-inspired art or the THX covers or yours, Cerbero. Keep it up!
On the side: if I was an artist, I'd do this, but...I know somebody made up some chapter inserts awhile back, but they weren't sized properly seem to work the best. If someone would be interested, I would tag-team with them on making a set of inserts--they could make the artwork, I'd come up with chapter titles that are more than just dialogue (I could only do this with the anamorphic set, though, since that's all I have). I would probably take my titles from the soundtracks and other sources. We could also add some additional text with some pictures...perhaps the production notes word-for-word, or some info on the different releases of the trilogy. Heck, we could also insert OriginalTrilogy.com in it somewhere...
Let me know if you're interested, because chapter inserts would make our sets a bit more professional feeling.Currently Reading: Shatterpoint, by Matthew Stover

No, your not. I don't care for the style of the prequel DVD covers either. And I am amazed and baffled by all of the people who are praising these covers because they match the prequel covers. I prefer my OT to look as little like the PT as possible, thank you very much.
I do, however, prefer the platinum over the gold.

thedalek: I'm toying with the idea of making my own hard paper box to put the keep-cases in, like the one in the official Indiana Jones set. Should be possible... If it's not though, I might do one for a quad keep-case instead.
BTW, I agree on the official DVD covers, they're awful. Looks like they're made by some kid who's just learning Photoshop having a field-day - with the glows and the lens-flares etc.

They've taken his head from one photo, and pasted it onto another photo...
Shit, I could do better than that!!

The only thing I noticed about them, was that in your description for the featurette "How the Walkers Walk", the word "create" is mssing the "e" on the end. I think this is on both of the supplemental covers (though I only downloaded the anamorphic versions.) Anyway, it's just a quick fix. Usually on my covers, I have about 50 typos.

Maybe Cerebro and some others could make covers for the official releases for those who are going to buy them and yet hate the artwork.

I was never that happy with the covers on 1 & 2, but man, these are pretty shit.

Does anyone have any Prequel DVD covers using the original poster art?

Galahad... I agree the halos are overdoing it a bit. Did anyone else happen to notice how there is a blue saber on ANH with a red glow around everyone, a red saber on ESB with a blue glow, and a green saber on ROTJ with (imagine that) a green glow. Why not have the glow correspond to the saber color on ANH and ESB like it does on ROTJ?

No clue. But then again, how much of this trilogy release makes much sense, anyway?

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to produce some REALLY retro 70's style (i.e. rounded corners galore!!) original trilogy dvd covers? I know the THX faces edition is (currently!) the best way to experience the non-SE trilogy, but even closer to the version we all would have seen at the cinema were the widescreen Fox LD releases in 1989. Fair enough there's loads of dirt and stuff on the print.. but in a way I kind of like that! This is how I remember it at the cinema - dust specs and all! Call me strange, but I'd rather have the dust and scratches but with a pin sharp picture, rather than the THX versions with so much digital dirt concealment that the image loses it's clarity, and you get that weird digital smearing effect on some fast moving objects - yuck!! Also the 1989 LD version has the original 70mm soundtracks (plus C3PO's line of dialogue which was missing from the THX versions). Star Wars on the faces edition LD's was totally remixed by Ben Burtt, with a few new sound effects added in that certainly weren't there when we all saw it in the cinema! The other two films were just cleaned up, but not remixed.
Once my Laserdisc player has been given a proper service, and calibrated up to the highest standards by a professional, then I'll be archiving these original editions onto DVD-r's... I'll keep you posted! It would be grand to have some retro DVD covers to go with this set though - the funkier the better!!!
The challange has been set - so put on yer flares, cue up yer Star Wars Meco LP and get designing folks!!

P.S. Cerbero - awsome covers mate!!!

But it's made for 4:3 TVs because it isn't anamorphic.
Don't worry though, it's widescreen.

Perhaps if I changed it to "Widescreen Version 4:3"? Since the actual picture is 4:3, but the movie is 2.35:1... What do you think?
