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...

Do you have any web space?

You'd need to have space to host them in order to post.

Email them to me at kmshelton at earthlink.net and I'll host them for you.

(I have very limited space so not more than a few pictures)

Post this code in the post:

Then put the URL in between them. But not the * thing. I had to do that to make it not think it was an actual image.

Did he forget about us?

I love them covers, come back and post 'em!

I don't know if I made it clear.

Those covers I posted are Soulflare's covers from page 13. He was gonna come back and post hi res links, but that was three days ago.

I'm very impressed at the recent covers posted.

Like these:

Most of the covers have been reworks of old ideas. No offense intended to anybody, of course.
I like the recent creativity. The yellow-gray boxes and Soulflare's are very original and creative.
I *still* can't wait for Soulflare to come back and post hi res versions.

Great great great great work, guys. Keep it up!

What is everyone's favorite so far?

Someone needs to contact Soulflare so he can give us the hi res links to his *awesome* covers.

I want those Criterion-ish covers...

Well Rikter's cover collection torrent is finally working for me. Downloading it now.

I guess I'll need WinRar to see the covers though.

Soulflare, have you thought about making Criterion-ish covers for the prequels as well?
That'd be killer, some prequels to match the OT covers you made.
Instead of saying "The Unathorized Collection", maybe saying "The Prequel Collection" or something else.

And do you know when you'll post a link to hi res versions? I'd love to have them on my TV stand.
