phildesfr has just done quite a sweet set here - http://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1144256

(and more of his top covers - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Phildesfrs-Blu-Ray-Complete-Set/id/56080)

though I do like trillary dump’s SW back cover - and especially the discart, nice one 😃

Lol of course phildesfr made SE covers better than me. Mine are basically the VHS covers in Blu Ray format.

I just added the ESB cover and disc art to the album if you wanna check them out!

And thanks for liking something about my work haha

Don’t do yourself down mate - I like them, and prefer a cleaner / stark look to sets (too much small text & technical info has me squinting a fair bit these days!)

And there’s no such thing as ‘better’ - just a preference for whatever the individual beholder likes the most, especially for my awful eyesight - and some my awful inksaver cover sets down the years 😃)

Hope you post them up in the dvd covers section when you’ve finished them.

Did anyone see the new covers over at Walmart? The series has new artwork again.

BB-8 The Force Awakens
K2SO Rogue One
Stormtrooper The Empire Strikes Back

The only ones I seen with the new covers.

I don’t have any links, I’m currently looking for them online, they have new bonus footage, that’s all I read. I will try and find them.

Did they look like this mate?:-

Seems they are doing a ‘repackaging’ with the Forces Of Destiny as an extra bonus disc? I do like the artwork covers though 😃

4Chan ‘burner’ accounts been used to skew Rotten Tomatoes user score of The Last Jedi.

Here’s the story: https://movieweb.com/rotten-tomatoes-last-jedi-audience-score-fake-news/

Sad to see - though not surprising given some of the returning trolls on here.

All that time and effort put into something so negative and ultimately worthless (trying to influence a film score on a review site).

You could well be right there Mala - though seems a few on here (if taken as any sort of sample 😉) may be heading back for repeat viewings (there was a lot to take in and process).

My letter to the film companies for heavily discounted tickets for 2nd/3rd viewings at the cinema have not been replied to 😃
 

The 2nd/3rd week takings may do well with it being the holidays - and also kids being off school and going to see it then too?

We’re all nerds to some degree on here 😉

Yet when have differences of opinion keep it civil, and play the ball - not the man.

Ah, the sweet recognition! My trilogy covers are being used by blu-ray.com for their listings of the yet-unreleased single-film edition of Star Wars, Empire, and Return!

And why didn’t the one chick that Leia was having a lesbian relationship with tell Poe about their plan to evacuate everyone off of the ship? If they did that then Poe wouldn’t have sent Finn and fat asian chick to get captured and have their plan discovered.

‘and fat Asian chick’ has a name - if you can’t be bothered to learn what it is - then it could likely give the impression you didn’t think too much about your post there. Think twice about using that as a description for another person on this site too.

Same for the ‘one chick that Leia was having a lesbian relationship with’.

I’ve been way to hard of Jedi lately. It’s a solid movie. I do still think it’s a big disappointment, but I was watching it earlier and the nostalgia came back and there’s some great stuff in it.

I think it has many flaws - but is still a cool film and enjoyable to watch. Plus…

…NeverarGreat summed it well when he said ‘That moment you realize that the worst OT film has more awesome stuff in it than most other film franchises’.

I do care (not about you, so much 😉)

I found this quite an informative review - didn’t agree with all of it (why would I? It’s someone else’s thoughts) - yet the overall gist in there - I do, and some intriguing perspective too:-

‘The Last Jedi’ Doesn’t Care What You Think About ‘Star Wars’ – And That’s Why It’s Great’…

http://www.slashfilm.com/the-last-jedi-defense/ (there is a 2nd page also)

Fair warning there’s some nasty advertising on that page that pops up a lot of crap on my mobile.

Doh! Apologies for that mate - I often forget the pc adblocker filters out this stuff very well.

Horrible though - are the gold dice being set up to connect the dots in the Solo movie…?

Possibly mate - though they have always been there (I never noticed until someone let me know the other week about them):-
