Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!)
Time

Created Star Wars =/= grounds for unconditional praise. I liked them all before he decided they were flawed and needed improvement, now he's trying to rewrite history and say that what everyone saw for the first 30 years of its existence is wrong. And that thar is f'ed up.

Like Ady said (or not, I might've made some deliberate creative changes), this site exists pretty much to shame Lucas' crowd into an honest effort.

Star wars v.s Star trek
Time

Did all the Trek get chased out of this topic?

I was an SW fan a lot earlier, but I met a Trekker in middle school and got caught watching reruns of TOS on the Pre-Y Scifi Channel.

Pretty much the worst part of Trek is when they do technobabble plots, which turned me off of late Voyager episodes. Also the occasional preachiness and self-righteousness that especially the TNG-era shows had. But the old movies were fun and the new reboot was harmless enough.

I made some great progress on my logos (well, aside from losing the backup vector file that had some form changes). But I saved all the 2D files ahead of time, so there's enough to start Photoshopping.

So far I've got the original 3 bold-style logos, and they look a LOT sharper than my last attempt. I chose the details by zooming in really close on a hi-res picture of the Clone Wars logo and trying to imitate it as closely as possible. And whatever detail I lost by not having the full Photoshop was faked in Elements. I win!

First, here's the old one again:

 

Now the new version:

EDIT: Prequels and Clone Wars.

Next: Droids?

Here I've created a rough version of the Alvin-inspired box. The only elements of the original are Luke and the homestead in the background. The border, logo, and stars are all Photoshopped. I made the preview on such a small scale because with all the rough details like text and the logo, I didn't think it was worth it.

The logo in the final version will, like the original artwork, have a ghosted montage of characters and scenes from the trilogy (and there will be prequel/original versions). I've thought about fleshing out the sky with some clouds or something, since there's a lot more empty space than the original.

ALSO...

The first satisfying result I've gotten as far as a back cover for each movie. I wanted to leave room for screenshots but still have a large scene in the background, so I wound up combining layouts from the Clone Wars and Planet of the Apes BDs.

BUT since I discovered the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull BD, I've found a new base that'll probably change this a little in the final version.

This thread covers a lot of ground. You all better beat it, I hear they're going to tear it down and put up an office building where it's standing. You can leave in a taxi. If you can't get a taxi, you can leave in a huff. If that's too soon you can leave in a minute and a huff. You know you haven't stopped talking since I came here. You must've been vaccinated with a phonograph needle.
