For those familiar with Falle's excellent covers, you'll notice some similarities, because I borrowed some of his graphics to make my cover: the "Digitally Mastered" logo, the ROTJ poster art, and the spine graphic (from a different set). I manually removed the stars from the spine using the GIMP (this took quite a while!). Then, I imported the graphics into Inkscape and arranged the graphics and text. I used the shareware Panther font for the credits, and spent quite a while tinkering with the alignment, font sizes, and spacing; I think I finally got it.

I was somewhat hesitant to post the cover, as it isn't really all my work. But, if I had access to the artwork and fonts, I would have done it all myself. I decided to post because I figured that people are more interested in variety than copyrights (since pretty much every cover here is a copyright violation anyways). But, if these types of fan edits are unwelcome, please let me know.

Return of the Jedi is my favorite of the trilogy, so I did this cover first, but I plan to finish the other two when I have time.

For a 300dpi PNG version and Inkscape/plain SVG's, please visit my website:

I welcome any feedback. In particular, do all the colors go together okay, or would you suggest any adjustments? I'd like to scan my prequel spines to try to get a closer match with ep. 1/2/3, so that part may change soon.

Thanks!



If you want, I also have the spines for the PT with the same style.. I decided not to make the covers.....

Sure, if I'm gonna make disc art again, I'll make them as you said..

vbangle: I lost my internet connection %/(#"/)(, but I'm gonna upload them covers now!

Thanks for the kind words. And if any of the fan-editors want covers for their projects, let me know. I think I am ready to make covers for unofficial movies now ;D

I'm back baby

This thread has been dead since I've gone

But that's about to change..

My site has changed style; into summer style! With new Star Wars set, which I've promised to make a while back. And other covers have been uploaded as well! I'll even make a tutorial site with downloads, so you can start make your own cover!!!

The latest Star Wars set. Based on the arts of the inlays of the OT DVD from 2004!

The set is nearly done, but I'm not gonna upload it until 2nd of July. I'm sorry, but now I have to focus on the few and last exams I have this year, I hope you'll understand.

But I promise that it will be worth the while. Sorry, I will make the requested covers between now and the first of next month. People can still submit requests to my mail, falle_dk@hotmail.com and users will get access to press section when you ask for a login.

As a new feature from the beginning of next month, I present "Interns". A section where users can upload their own cover after I've reviewed them. If you wanna be an intern, just ask ;D
