agree!

excellent covers. i'm not sure why, but i really like the modified THX logo on the front.

Great work, now i'm sure everyone is just screaming for the printable link.

The logo on the spine is from the "slanted" one. I just omitted the star wars frame and the tilt. The SE logo was ripped the same way since it looks pretty nice... but then tried to duplicate that with Jedi as well and turned it to cheese.

Perhaps someone on this board should BUY Coov the poster book.

After all, he has done a ton of great work for this community.

Just not me...I'm broke. Sorry Coov, nothing personal.

Here's what I've been working on, it is simply a Star Wars Posters Edition of covers. Basically, the front and back feature two different posters, and the back lists no features, only the opening crawl from each film. The purpose of this was that people could essentially use these covers for any of the myriad of fan edits out there. Also, I have a spine spanning image of Luke vs. Darth Vader. I've already encountered some flak because this "ignores" the prequel trilogy. I chose this image not to ignore epsI-III, but because when most people think of Star Wars they usually think of Luke or Vader, not Padme, Qui-Gon, Count Dooku, or whoever. Besides, isn't Star Wars as a whole about the turn to evil (becoming Vader) and eventual redemption of Anakin Skywalker? Anyway, here's a preview of what I've done. Let me know what you think and where I could do some improving. Thanks.







And here is the spine spanning shot

ROTS won best movie at Peoples Choice Awards, and Lucas was there to receive it:

He was there with his daughter, and seems like a really good family man and that is why I like him, until........he goes into his usually SW acceptance speech......

"I know Star Wars has never won that many awards. (Pause) "And has never been loved by the critics." (Pause, to get a couple of applause.) "Critics have not been my biggest fans." (more applause) "They are usually controlled by the Studios" (Pause) "The reason I make these movies......is for the fans!" (Loud applause)

This is vintage Lucas, aww shucks, every fan loves these movies, just the critics hate them, and that is why we don't win awards. The last time I checked the original SW was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, and was nominated in the big categories: Best Picture, Best Director, and Alec Guiness for Best Supporting Actor, thats right an actor was nominated for his performance in a SW movie, because they usually say the OT performances were just as bad as the PT ones. Star Wars took home 7 awards that night, while being the #1 movie at the box office in 1977.

Message to George: Yeah, there are always critics who don't love every movie, that is natural, but you made that classic one in 1977, which was loved by critics, fans, and the studios, and do you know why? It's a great movie!

And when you said you do it for the fans at the end of your speech, the only ones you keep forgetting are the millions of fans from 1977-83 who can't see those original films anymore on DVD. Sometimes I believe Lucas has selective memory....

I AM adopting HD, but not yet BluRay. It will be years until I get myself new hardware and buy HD-movies on BluRay... but there are already hundreds of HDTV-recordings of several movies out there on the UseNet, and I am focussing on those right now. It is a big leap forward, so why shy away from it completely? I don't see HD as a replacement to DVD yet. The perfect DVD-set (and I'd like to say that Jackson's "Lord of the Rings"-SEEs fit this term) is still much more valuable to me than higher resolution... although there are several movies out there I'd like to have in HD... like digital movies (Pixar, Dreamworks... I am an graphics guy after all), huge epics (Ben Hur, Lord of the Rings, Gladiator), Classics (Star Wars 4 - 6, Indiana Jones), VFX-heavy movies (like the Prequels) or movies with an awesome production design (the Harry Potter movies, Star Trek, Terminator, Alien)... so, basically movies that - when presented in HD, simple "show more". There would be no reason for me to watch "Clerks", "Chasing Amy", "Mallrats" or "Dogma" in HD, since these aren't visually impressive movies (ok, "Dogma" and "Jay & Bob" are Kevin's better looking ones, but still).

"There is no third trilogy. I never gave interviews where I said I had written treatments for nine films during the Making of Empire. It was never called The Adventures of Luke Skywalker. Move along..."

In fact, in another piece of EU that occurs between ESB and ROTJ, the kid (who turns out was alive after all) tries to edge in on the 'Boba' we all know and love... the now adult kid paints up an old Mandalorian armor to look like 'Boba' and decides to go to Jabba's palace. Jabba, who doesn't understand why 'Boba' is back after getting paid off for bringing Han in, let's him hang out... the adult kid ends up getting into a skirmish that he didn't expect though when Luke arrives and ends up dying comically when he realizes he doesn't even really know how to use his own equipment. Later, the 'Boba' we all know hears about all of this, has a good laugh and continues to do his work with much of the SW gangster world thinking he is dead!

Well, it's just that I had read an article somewhere that explained John Knoll's involvement in the prequels, and the tradition he had of creating the opening crawls for them on his mac. Well, near the end of the article, it talked of how he "finished" the process by re-doing the crawls of the OT on his computer as well. I can't remembver where I read this, but it was definately a legit article.
