Anyone want to create a little art for the DVD?  greenpenguino created the Main Menu art, and doubleofive made two images for the Chapter Menu and Bonus Features menu.  But I need one more image for the DVD Credits menu.

Any takers?

Here's some pics from the good old greenie vaults, will any of these do?

 

Will any of these do?

The War of the Worlds (1953)-surprisingly effective version of the book, completely transplanted into 50's Americana. Brilliant Technicolor and I don't think anyone could ever forget the sound of the heat ray or skeleton beam.

3.5 balls out of 4.

That sound got used in 'Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow', for the eye-beams for the Giant Robots.

 

I was the only one geeking out about it in the cinema.

Episode 3 Palpatine confrontation:

 

Palpatine tells mace that the only way that he can defeat him is through the power of funk. Cue a dance scene, wherein Palps and Mace break out their groovy moves. The other jedi are killed in the process. Then Optimus Prime shows up and Palps has to defeat him with his raygun. After that Mace and him have a lightsaber fight down the side of a building, with lightsabers. Palps tricks Mace into thinking he's an octopus and kills him. Anakin shows up and wants to be evil for no reason.
