Come on, the old guy probably has 2-3 working brain cells, and you expect him to weave a compelling story, include references to the OT, maintain basic continuity, and actually foreshadow more than 10 minutes into the future?

Lucas had no clue, idea or story pertaining to what the prequels would be about, and it shows.

So when you print these, what works better, to scale the image using Photoshop and then print, or to "scale to fit page" with the larger image?

I've been testing, and they both look good on the screen, just wanted to see if one was better than the other for actual printing.

Thanks for the tip Windexed, and I may just head to the local print shop and see if they'll do it. I am worried that I'll get the "we don't do that, you swarmy pirate" deal, but who knows?

P.S. Rebel Rouser, my "professional" comments had NOTHING to do with the quality of the user-done cover, which as I stated originally that I "do think the DVD covers people have posted on here are excellent", but I'm simply trying to save myself a trip to Kinkos (and a few "pirate" glares) on the pro-level print job.

Some of those OT covers really blow me away, but I think I'm going with the TR47 Silver.

Yeesh, is there anywhere I can buy OT DVD covers?

Already dry... done... complete... printed using pro-level hardware... on high-grade backing?

I do think the DVD covers people have posted on here are excellent, but is there anywhere you can buy these professionally done? I have a Canon BJ that, with the right paper and a full color ink pack, would likely do alright, but truthfully I'd rather just lay out the cash.

Any help would be appreciated.

As many others have said, if Lucas wasn't a billionaire, he'd probably be committed by now.

And it's not just the OT thing, it's how he talks, the ideas he expresses, and his general point of view circa 2004. The guy clearly has some mental issues (Alzheimers? Senility? Stroke?) and other than the drooling, Lucas-loving fanboys (who still see him as he was in 1977), it's pretty obvious.

I keep hearing this totally erroneous comment, and no one ever takes either Lucas or his moron entourage up on it.

George Lucas DID NOT direct, write, produce, edit, act or otherwise contribute to the actual creation of the Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi movies. He simply got a stupid "Story and Characters By" credit, which in Hollywood basically means you wrote the first movie.

Lucas really only OWNS the last two movies, and just like Turner and his colorized versions, is seeking to change the vision of the script writers, the directors, the editors, the actors, the producer and all the other people who created ESB and ROTJ. It's pretty obvious this is his way of putting the "Lucas Stamp" on these exceptional movies, and Georgie The Hack just doesn't match up to that kind of talent.

That my friends, is pure, unadulterated ego.

But, but, this is the way Lucy originally intended it!

Not only that, but Hayden wasn't even born when Star Wars or Empire Strikes Back were released.
