I used a version of the Carnival poster I found in the HI-Res Poster Art thread. It seems to be a slightly different version of the artwork, perhaps an early draft. I personally like the colors in this alternate version. You can really see that the twin orbs in the bottom right are supposed to be Tatooine's suns. But now that you mention it, Luke and Leia are a little too red and dark. If you could help me find a hi-res copy of the version you used for the label, I might try to fix Luke and Leia.
Any recommendations for the text on the back?

I burned your test file to a DVD and watched it on my TV last night. I haven't seen a lot of the transfers here, but yours looked pretty good. The overscan on my TV completely ate all of the border on the right side. Only a small part of the black border remained on the left. Apparently, my TV's image is not centered. I have a (crappy?) 29" Zenith from '97.
If you crop the image to eliminate the borders, won't you in effect be zooming in on the image? Won't that make the limited resolution of the laserdisc more apparent?
Also in your test file, I noticed for 3 or 4 seconds at the beginning there was a lot of signal noise in the starfield. After it went away, the starfield looked very clear though. Don't know if anyone else experienced that.
I say, go with the TV friendly borders.

DE,
I don't think you ever gave us a follow-up on this. I was watching your edit last night, and it seems that the cloak disappears in the frame as Luke walks in front of it to get his lightsaber. Is that what you did? Is it supposed to have fallen just as Luke walked in front of it?
Thanks,
Erik

Problem: Many people liked the red-blue-green scheme, but I personally prefer the blue-red-green scheme.
Solution: Now there are two sets!
Set 1:
Set 2:
Thank God there was no debate about the color of ROTJ.
So here are the two versions of ANH. First Blue:
CLICK HERE for full-size BLUE cover.
Then Red:
CLICK HERE for full-size RED cover.
The ANH cover has been changed to now include the same "modified" artwork on the back as DE's disc label, plus two screenshots have been tweaked slightly.
So yes, there will be red and blue versions of the ESB cover.
Enjoy!

I never noticed that, DE. You never stop retouching, do you? Is there any way I could get that image from you without "Star Wars" on it? I'd love to update my cover with it.

I hope you stick with the ANH red, ESB blue, ROTJ green motif, as I've always felt that the movies were those colours.

Seeing as several people have said this, I wonder if there's something I'm missing here. Has there been some official LFL release or product that had this color scheme?

Dark_Jedi, I designed my covers to work with the disc labels that Darth Editous already made. If you look closely at the back of the cover, behind the text and screenshots, you'll see the same image. I plan on doing the same thing when ESB is done.

Here's my vision of what the set might look like when done:
This is the first cover I've ever done, so I welcome all critiques (oh, and compliments too).

Oh, come on! Now I can't even use a sharpie on my DVDs and CDs? That's rediculous. I think this is the industry trying to get us to stop burning our own discs. I understand how a printed label could be a problem, but a SHARPIE?

Please understand my comment about removing Vader's TIE window was not a specific request for the XO project. It's just something that the nitpicker in me would like to see somewhere.
If Darth Editous does DE-ANH 2.0, I'd love to see him fix this.

When you say you want the logo, are you looking for the part of the card with "Star Wars" on it?
The way the words blend into the enitre design of the card, I'm curious what you want to use this for.

Erase the rear window in cockpit shots of Vader's TIE fighter. The model has no rear window.
If that's too hard, maybe use some sort of color filter on just the rear window to make it look more like a screen than a window.

I don't suppose anyone knows the people who made the GKar version or TB Release? Screenshots of the original HD frames would be really sweet. That would settle this once and for all.
Once again, thanks to everyone who's humored my obscure requests in this thread.

Thanks. Those might help a little to define some of the edges of the letters. I take it these are from the widescreen laserdiscs. How should I resize to get true aspect ratio?
I wonder if the fullscreen laserdiscs would be any better. It may be a moot point though, since I get the impression they're not sought after very much.

If it's not too much trouble for you, I'd like to see the PAL screenshots. They might be better.
I'm working on the font because, well, I'm a Star Wars font junkie. I've made 5 fonts so far; I've currently got 3 in the works, and I'm always looking for more to do. It has nothing really to do with any OOT preservation.
