Frank's Star Wars DVD/BD Covers
Time

Though not quite within the criteria of DVD or BD, these are also added for completion.

Revisited Jewel Case


Initially produced as an experimentation with the jewel case format, these are designed around the 2000 VCD covers. The back details for ESB and ROTJ may prove incorrect.

Magnetic Video Sleeve


A hypothetical replica of what the cover for the Magnetic release of Star Wars would’ve looked like had they been granted the rights to it before 1982. Hey… without Magnetic, we wouldn’t have home video.

Super 8 Jewel Case


Based on the original F48 Ken Films box. It also experiments with the way some VCD covers use the back of the case as the front of the cover (like the San Andreas one, for example), which is actually rather nifty.

So since a few other cover designers have their own threads, I decided I should make mine to prevent clutter in the main thread. All these designs are presented in order of release, and I will add new ones here as I create them.

Warning: These covers are not to be redistributed without my prior consent. Also, please do not create sets for sale using my designs. Because if I find out, I’ll have to file a lawsuit against you, and I don’t know how that’s going to work!

1992 UK VHS Blu-rays


Originally tailored for the Despecialized Editions. Supplanted by the later DVD iterations below - but still available here.

Arrow “White Box” Blu-rays - The Despecialized Editions


The first versions of covers made with the idea of blending the Star Wars Trilogy with other cult films of the Arrow ilk. Note: The subtitle has since been changed to “Original Theatrical Version Reconstruction”. Available here.

Revisited 2000 VHS DVDs


I’m not entirely sure that the information I’ve given the prequel covers would be relevant, given they’ll get a complete overhaul. 2 and 5 come in both black and white flavours, so you can have a chequered set or a half-and-half set. Available here.

Definitive Collection Combo DVDs


A combination of both the LaserDisc and Executor VHS Definitive Collections. Available here.

Arrow “White Box” Blu-rays - Double Pack


When the Respecialized Edition came out, a double pack of the two Harmy reconstructions was invariable. An additional cover was made for ESB, but Adywan’s 14GB 97SE MKV rendered it redundant. The first is still available on request.

1994 UK VHS Blu-rays


I know Moth3r did them before, but I couldn’t resist… anyway, I wanted to see if I could based on the limited resources I have! May possibly revisit later to convert to Criterion/PS4 size. Available here.

1992 UK VHS DVDs


A significant improvement over the original BD versions, notably replicating the colour schemes of the original VHS covers. Available here.

Arrow “White Box” Blu-rays - Slipcover


A largely experimental prototype of a potential slipcover. Ran into a number of problems making it - for starters, I wasted paper trying to line up the double-sided cover correctly. I also tried using photo paper for the slipcover itself, but it’s a little… sticky. Somehow though, it worked. Unfortunately, this cover is not available at this time.

Angel Blu-ray Prototype


Experimenting with the teal/orange colouration that Angel’s edit is noted for. Unavailable at this time.

Trek Wars Remastered/Revisited DVDs


These follow in the vein of the Star Trek Remastered DVDs. Unfinished; will later be supplanted by Blu-ray versions.

Arrow “White Box” Blu-rays - Reversible sleeve


A box for the entire trilogy. Available here with options for extras from ronwlim, phildesfr’s BD-ROMs or njvc’s BDs.

Arrow “Full Size” AVCHDs


Produced as a tideover until ROTJ 2.0. The discs are all Tom Jung poster art. This cover comes in Criterion/PS4 size to differentiate it from the BDs. Available on request.

Criterion Collection


Something I made while I was in a sort of phase of making Criterion covers. Unavailable at this time.

Team Negative1 Silver Screen Experience


In commemoration of Team Negative-1’s release. Available here. A reissue is anticipated with further details on whatever the BD ISO contains.

I was watching the silver screen edition and paused on this frame: http://i.imgur.com/nd4LBgO.png
Is this an encoding glitch? I don’t know what the frame number is but it happens right after wedge pulls out during the final trench run.

It could be, or it could be an artifact introduced during the clean up phase. Either way, it is something we should be able to fix.

Where’s the glitch? Where am I looking?

Just to clarify, I too regret the near-loss of film as a projection medium (I’m actually thinking about driving 6 hours to another country to be able to see The Hateful 8 in 70mm) but if I can’t see the movie on actual film, good digital projection is the next best thing - I actually keep a log on projection quality for all projection rooms I visit and I can tell you that the quality of digital projection can vary greatly, so if you only have a couple of experiences with DCP and they were so bad, you may just have stumbled into bad ones - the projection of TFA 2D I saw looked amazing and it was very film-like.

He’s got point. Much as I’d love to live those glorious film days, I’d settle for DCP if I had to. But… I would dearly pay to see a 70mm film print…
