Using that logic...why did it need to be green in the first place?

Luke's first saber was blue. Obi-Wan's was blue. The only other color he had ever seen was red. What made him pick green? What made him even think he could make them that color?

Exactly.

It was originally meant to be blue. This is evidenced by the trailer.

The whole green saber thing was just a ploy by Lucas to surprise audiences.

While I dont hate the green light saber...not even in the least. Hell...I love it.

But I would be very much intrigued to see the film with the originally intended blue color.

I am looking VERY forward to this project is

I have been collecting covers for quite some time now, but only recently started printing them off with my college's fancy color laser printer (not cost-free, but even at the required 15 cents a page...i am not exactly breaking the bank.)

I must say that these covers look even better in person and up on a shelf.

Darth Solo....For my cowclops version 2 set, I have used your manga style covers and I must say they are truly beautiful.

So today I was printing some covers off for my collection that is ever growing and I found myself in a rut.

I have the SP FX: EMPIRE and MAKING OF STAR WARS features together on one dvd, created by rikter i believe. Well, the only cover i could find were separate.
So I went and sort of combined them into one cover from the existing covers.

you can preview it here:

Also, for the wal mart bonus dvd pack-in w/ episode 3 (the uber lame one titled THE STORY OF STAR WARS) ...i couldnt find any art for it, at least any good res stuff....so I took an old blank cover fom coov and sort of made my own for it.

I added the extra text to the spine and took the same text on the back of the retail dvd and stuck it on the back of the cover.

you can preview it here:

I feel bad as these covers are somewhat stolen in the sense that I sort of hacked them together from existing material from respected artists....but I needed covers for my cases on my shelf....so if anybody needs/wants them....I can send the full res versions to you.

Just PM me and I can help you out

As far as cases go...there are several ways to get free cases.

I personally figure out when my local Blockbuster Video Rental store is getting a new shipment in, and since they take all the discs out and put them in special "Blockbuster" cases...they throw the original, BRAND NEW cases away.

You can ask the management for them and many times they will oblige, as it is garbage to them anyways....or if you need to be sneaky, I suppose one could go dumpster diving...although that is morally questionable (It probably wouldnt be too gross though...how much nasty garbage could a vidoe rental place generate...right?)

As Far as printing covers go....you really dont need photopaper or fancy printers per se....I actually go to my school and print them off with a color laser printer on normal document paper, then use a paper cutter and cut them out nice and neat. It works beautifully. THe only bad thing is that my college charges like 15 cents per page. Still...when you think of it like that...a dollar or two could get you a TON of covers.

The "original crawl" on the new DVD is NOT the original crawl! Screenshot inside!

And just think about the poor guy in the photo. For years he's been telling his friends, his family, random people he meets on the street, that he worked on Star Wars - 'You know the writing at the start? That was me!! and this is how we did it...'

Well not anymore - some intern with a basic knowledge of Photoshop holds the honor now.


that a great point.

and honestly...its not so much that they did it...it the fact that they lie about it.

I saw a short clip (i.e, the Greedo Scene) that was supposedly lifted from the Sept. 06 DVD's at Comic Con during Steve Sansweet's meeting thingy. It looked good...then again, I still wont hold my breath. I want to see the whole thing with my own eyes. Not some special clip that they had prepared to show to a large audience of an unreleased product.

Since I know I am going to be dissapointed...I just wanted to say that now, more than ever, I am more eager for the XØ Project. Something by fans ...for fans.

depending on where you live....START RECYCLING!! At least here in CA, I know you can make BANK doing simple recycling. My high school wrestling coach would put on a pair of gloves, get one of those grabber things for only a few $$$, then go through the top of the dumpster at the high school.

He was doing it hardcore and was pulling down a few hundred a week, but even then...if you scale it way back and just keep all of your stuff and some of your friends...you can put a major dent in that bill.

I was at Comic Con this past friday. Steve Sansweet or whatever was there. I got pissed though because it was like an hour long presentation and he told us NOTHING WHATSOEVER. To top it off, they were handing out buttons saying "HAN SHOOTS FIRST...Sept. 12, 2006" Nothing like taking an insult, turning it around and capitalizing off of it.

To vent my anger...I was in the back of the huge auditorium shining my green laser pointer all over him. So...if you were there and you saw that...that was all me baby.
