Neat-o.
I'm only gonna tamper with the poster art for the prequel DVDs, since the spines and backs are actually pretty good as is.

And I wan't the PT and OT DVDs to be *somewhat* different. But the Criterion poster art is just such a good idea.

What colors would everyone suggest for each prequel cover? Lol, I can't pick!

32" Sony flatscreen.

Speakers that are built into the set itself.

Not... really worth bragging about... but it's good enough for me!

Does anybody know how to get a similar effect to Soulflare or ShuMai's covers?
AKA how do I manipulate the color of the posters like that? I was hoping to do something similar for the prequels. (front cover, anyway)

Apparently my chapter inserts from a page back have bad links.

Here we go, I'm no longer hosting from Geocities.

A New Hope

The Empire Strikes Back

Return of the Jedi

And Rikter, use this new ANH for any further torrents. Thanks.

I liked TPM a lot more than AOTC.

I can't pinpoint exactly why, but I just really like TPM a lot better than AOTC.

My chapter insert for A New Hope a few pages back is messed up, and so is the one on Rikter's torrent.

Here is a fixed version

And the others,
ESB has been slightly modified for better spacing[/L]

I am still working on improving the ROTJ insert.

To Rikter: Use the fixed ANH insert in further torrents please. Thank you.

Jimbo,

Those are YOUR opinions. I have mine.
What you think is not fact. What I think is not fact.

I said that *I* do not want to own these DVDs.

I'm reworking my chapter inserts. Thanks!

I'm not really boycotting the release, I frankly just don't want it.

And why would I?

I don't want that crap!

Those are great covers!

When we get the final EpV cover from Soulflare, I'm gonna go down to Kinkos and pint out his covers, ShuMai's disc art, and my chapter inserts.
I'm expecting to look a LOT better than what I've been doing: printing them out on my home computer on plain paper.

Remember that the point is to let people know that don't already.

If I didn't know crap about versions of Star Wars, and say someone protesting saying "Star Wars DVDs Not Original" I'd probably think they are talking about Star Wars being a rip off of a different movie.
Be clear in what you're saying on these buttons or stickers.

Yeah, I know. So a DL set wouldn't have better picture or sound...
so what?
At least we could fit menus and extras on them, right?

Putting Ian in the ESB Emperor scene- Good Idea

Giving him premature-revealing dialogue- Bad Idea

His make up job and blank expression kill that scene horribly. His face is expressionless and doesn't match the voice. "Yeeess, he would be a great asset." with his eyes staring off in the same direction.
The old Emporer in that scene at least looked like he was thinking. "Yesss... yes. He would be a great asset." His eyes reflect what he is supposed to be thinking.

I just don't like how it turned out. The new dialogue alone is enough for me to prefer the old version.

Dude, WTF was that?
That looked and sounded completely retarded! Especially the new dialogue!
It was a halfway-good idea, horrid carrythrough.

Can someone digitally capture it that has the ability and possibly make it avaiable as a torrent?

I hate to "tape" something off TV, if you know what I mean.

*Or*... pre-order, then cancel upon the official announcment on Sept 8th.

I think cancelled pre-orders once they've announced it's the SE crap will be more effective.

I guess I will buy the Droids and Ewoks DVDs and burn the episodes that aren't on it to a VCD.
And the Ewok movies. All that is missing is the holiday special...

Thanks, Soulflare!
I'll print 'em out when I get home later today.

I looked around your website too. Very nice.

As for making covers for the new trilogy... umm, no thanks.

Hehehe...
