Adywan,

This looks very interesting. You've obviously put a lot of work into this.

The laser bolts you painted in sometimes look a little too intense. The greens seemed a little too green and the reds a little too red. Maybe they need more of a white core? But it's possible you've done them exactly right and my eyes are just so used to seeing them look different.

Trooperman,

Very nice trailer! Mace's saber looks great, and I think the Dune footage may work out if used sparingly. As others have said, during the dream sequence the punch sound and Shmi's scream don't sound quite right.

About Anakin's new voice. I like it a lot more than I thought I would. I was skeptical about how it might turn out, but I think it works well. I know a lot of others here have said it's too deep, but I disagree. I think it will do a lot to make the character seem more mature, less annoying and whiny. I don't think the voice sounds "too old" for him. Even though he's in his late teens, he's well beyond puberty and his voice won't do much more changing as he ages. So he's got his adult voice by now. I will agree that the dialog during the balcony scene about his training is a little difficult to understand; maybe it can be articulated a little more.

And of course, it was great to see my Starkiller Ranch logo in there

BTW, I have a super hi-res version if you need one.

Is there somewhere this can be posted so a schmoe without newsgroup access (like myself) can download it?

Why exactly is this good news for the DVDs?

I believe the mono mix was created last. So that would make it more correct, but less original.

Has it been confirmed that the bonus disks will be single layer? I don't see how that can be the case, especially with the game demos and whatnot.

I have three TVs - all 4:3. One is a hand-me-down. None have an S-video input.

Khab, feel free to send me your useless widescreen TV on Monday.

Those little red X's on white backgrounds really do remind me of X-Wing flying into the sun.

In Attack of the Phantom (Phantom Edit Episode II), the phantom editor totally removed the asteroid sequence, and it worked quite well.

Nope, more like the circular disc label you posted, but without the white circle in the middle (and possibly without a white outer circle).

Ok. With or without text? Are you using this as a disc cover?

It will take a little work, since I had to create more of the white space to the right of his face for the disc label. So now I have to create even more to fill in the non-printable area.

Are those labels full face? Any chance you could post versions without the white area masked out on the inside and outside?

If no one buys this, there is absolutely zero chance a better release will come out further down the road. This could be just Lucas testing the waters for the potential. I say we all call Lucas bluff. Let's make this set sell better than the 2004 set.

How about this: You pay me 50 bucks, and maybe I'll release the OOT in anamorphic widescreen next year. You never know

I'll even thrown in some crappy DVD coverart.

There is a set. A link to it was posted a week or so ago, but I can't find the thread it was posted in. I think I have it bookmarked at home, so I can repost the link later tonight if no-one else has.

Falle,

Those latest covers look really sweet. I just have one recommendation. The backs on several of them look pretty bare, like there's space for more text. I would recommend making the text boxes smaller and center them, so that the text is in a tall, skinny block. Make sense?

Trooperman,

In the Starkiller Ranch thread, there's been some discussion about the Niemodians' voices. I apologize if you've answered this before, but what were you planning on doing with those?

And if you still need people to provide reviews, I am definitely interested.

Erik

This really does sound like a great idea - a film noir Star Wars. I can't wait for it.

Thanks. I can send you the blue vader by itself, but I will need to do some photoshop work first. I lost my original Photoshop files, so all I have are the JPGs to work from, unfortunately.

I have been meaning to put up a covers page on my site, but I haven't done it yet.

My covers were designed to go along with Darth Editous' disc label. If you look closely at the back of my cover, behind the words, you can see the same art that's on the disc label.
