The printout preview posted is what you get when printing the cover on silver foil-like paper or on a transparent placed in front of a silver / chrome like background. Because of the reflective nature of the material they're printed on it's almost impossible to get a good shot of what they look like when printed out. It really looks good though.

The boxset spines ligned up:

Flat preview of the ROTJ cover (mind you, the front and spine hadn't been finalised yet back then, the above posted preview is the final version):

I'll make arrangements so you can dowload em. Just keep em to yourself ;-)


so i am really really interested in getting a hold of these covers, any one know the best way to contact the artist??

My dear junior forum member, I will forgive you this unfair comment towards me (which I find greatly disturbing), because you don't know how can I feel after writing many eloquent posts in Bush Jr/9-11/Iraq related threads... Most of replies made by Bush supporters could be shortly summed up as "You're plain wrong, Dubya is the best, he has great strategery". That's it, no detailed descriptions and analysis of current gov. policies, no extrapolations on what may happen in the future given that US will follow the present way.... just plain old stubbornness and blind faith in The Leader. (although I admit the main culprit was jimbo and not Darth Chaltab)
I - on the other hand - can sometimes understand Republicans & Bush supporters and even agree with them "from a certain point of view" on particular issues. What I observed, is that they are less likely do a similar thing: to think for a moment, what would it be to be in Democrats' shoes.

This is why I wrote this exaggerated post, because I was too tired to pick up the glove and start yet another, pointless debate - pointless, because the other side won't change its mind. Period. After all, this is what we call them conservatives, right?


the post was meant as a half joke... I normally dont use such terms as blankity blank blank when i am being serious, i suppose the lack of voice inflection technology hindered that from getting through. But i still dont understand your "greatly disturbed" feeling i imagine that any time you make such stereotypical statements you should get a little something thrown back at you. As for you experience in this form, you are right i dont know, but your comment as i read it wasnt aimed at just Jimmy boy, or DC, but seemed to be a blanket statement to all conservatives. If you were truely only pointing out the statements in a previous discussion with a previous person then you should have stated so, instead of maligning everyone under the conservative banner... the one thing i do agree with you on is the need to avoid further discussion on politics, i doubt that either one of us will shift positions...

the you arent american thing wasnt ment to be deragatory, it was simply to state you arent from here, and perhaps dont see the world in the same context that someone from here would see the world.
I am somewhat saddened by the fact that you took my clinton is a socialist comment as a slur, i thought i stated earlier that it wasnt good or bad, but just a fact. There are many socialist in the democratic party, and the are very left for this country. And if the dems are right winged for most other countries, that just solitifies my desire to stay here. No offense, but i prefer different ideals. Just a preferance thing i suppose.

the funny thing about o'rielly is that no matter what quality of a news cast host you see him to be he more than doubles the next most watched cable news show, which happens to be hannity and colmbs. And i dont think anyone considers his show to be a news cast, he is more of an analyst if you will.

and thanks for the imput on the news i have always been curious about that.

I dont think that the amendmant GBush is pushing takes away those rights, i think it merely denies them under the term marriage. Those rights would still be available through civil unions.

Also with the medical plan Kerry proposes, i am just extremely weiry of the whole thing. Google canada and medical waiting list, scary things will happen. 17.9 week waiting list for hospitals right now. This is what, again imo, will happen if the US federal Gov. is given charge over the medical system. the power should be in the hands of the people not the GOV. Besides all the GOV does is efe stuff up, more paper work, more buracracy, more morass is the plan with the gov. I know i work for them .

Sure the federal Gov. needs money, but not as much as one would think. The us, imo, should throw out the IRS and adopt a consumption based tax coupled with a flat tax. China and russia have implemented this system and there economies are booming. Besides the power should be in the hands of the people not big brother. And as far as social aid goes, the gov should provide a safety net, not provide. There is a problem when you can make more from welfare than by working a full time job. Further more, social outreach programs should be run by the community, not the gov. Private run operations are far supprior to gov run one. They have to balance a budget and be effecient to exist, the gov, just runs in the red. More importantly, the people running the outreachs in the community want to be there, it is their passion, where as most gov programs are there, cause it pays.

DC dont kid yourself, the far right is just as bad as the far left. they are all blind idiolauge quacks...

i never understood you to be making light of the situation there, i just dont think many people understand the depth of some of the human suffering in many countries across the world.

In a way i dont think that the President needs to really worry about all the worlds aillings, though more. imo, should be done. As president there duty is to the people of their country, ensuring the best future for them that they can.

I think the real people that need to be addressed in this issue is the UN. While they are out collecting money from the Oil for Food program and placing countries with horrible track records on the Human Rights, on the Human Rights Commity, they should be out intervining in countries all over the world. Koafy, excuse my butchering of the mans name, is a joke. Not only is he and his organization lacking in perspective, but they also lack the cohones to follow through and do something about the true evil in the world.

As far as political discussion goes i would like to say that this is the longest and most civil discussion i have ever witnessed, or been apart of on the net. Props to everyone here.

They yell out their extreme-hardcore-right or their centered-right position (there are no strong left-wing parties in america), and oh boy, they'll run over whoever disagrees! Michael Moore will ignore the guy who made "M.M. hates america" and deny any interviews as he was some sort of god; Bill O'Reily will avoid any confrontation, tell his oponents to shut up, and when they have a point against him, he'll cut their microphones out. Everyone has a position on this, sometimes unjustified: sometimes someone is a republican because he's family and fox news told him so, sometimes someone will be a democrat because the internet and liberal newspapers told him so. There are no real concearn on the issues, it's mostly allegorical: "oh, I'll vote for Kerry because he supports the medicare reform, I have NO idea what that means and I've not been to a hospital in years as I'm rich and can afford my own doctors, but I'll vote for him", or "I'll vote for Bush because he freed Iraq, I had NO IDEA what or where Iraq was before 9/11 and I don't understand the middle east politics, but he did one hell of a good job". And then, as the election comes, it's one big parade, one big joke. People don't care to vote, people don't care to know more about their candidates, they don't care if the voting system is horribly corrupt or insanely inefficient. It's one big TV reality show, and everyone is invited to be a part of it.

Of course, I don't mean ANYONE here. People here (except someone who has been banned recently) are political active and know what their saying. And if I offended anyone, well, I meant to offend republicans AND democrats equally.


You arent from america are you?

michael moore has a huge following, and the democratic party has an expansive section that is very much left. Hil Clinton is actually a socialist, not that this is bad or good, but it is a fact. And facts be known Bill O'rielly has only told people to shut up 6 times in the last 2 years, four of which were in jest. You ever actually listened to /watched his show or you just going with the internet flow? Cause i have listened to/watched his show many times, and i have seen none of this. Further more there are lots of very "liberal" people in america, and polaticians that they support.

but you are right about the parades. people on both sides are ignorant to most reasons behind politics. sad but true.

This discussion reminds me of a question that has come to mind over several internet discussions. What type of new coverage do people in foreign nations get? I dont mean that in any deragatory way i am just curious. I also find it interesting how many foriegn cable companies wont carry fox news, but will carry al jazera...

This sounds almost like paranoia from the days of Cold War, when communist regime leaders had to be loved and whoever stated something else from what gov. said, was considered as enemy - just as now when opposing Bush Jr is called unpatriotic by his supporters and the officials. This whole debate taking place on this (and other forums) is pathetic, no matter how many facts and arguments anti-Bushists present to Bushist, the latter will always repeat the same song: "It's all Clinton's fault. Kerry is a jackass. Our Texan President is a Great Leader sent to us from Heaven. Let's nuke France". A flock of sheep.
There are (now-funny) names that were given to Stalin or Caucescu or Castro... they were to show the endless love and admiration people felt towards them. I can show you some links, you can just swap the names and use them in relation to your fav celeb - Dubya.
.


What a load of blankity blank blank. It funny how you paint the picture of bush supporter roaming about with a finger in their nose and drool coming out of there mouth. For every so called fact presented there have been or a possible solid counter point/fact that could have been presented. There are, believe it or not, people who support Bush that are educated and have factual grounds to stand on when discussing political issues, just like there are Kerry supporters that do the same. Further more there is a whole slue of people, whose brains are equally unplugged to blind bush supporters, that are anti bush and couldnt give you one solid sentence to why they think what they do. Sheep as you call them come are on everyones farms, not just conservatives. In the end, whether you choose to except it or not, it boils down to fundamental difference in philosohpical thinking. But you should stick with your oversimplified, over generalized thought process. You should start making race based remarks next, cause they are as equally founded as your remarks above...
