Thanks so much for helping with this, oojason. Any suggestions on the text font, size, and color would be appreciated. 😃

No worries - though I’m only a ‘copy n paste’ MS Paint hack - the real talent on here would be able to help you out a lot better than I can (frankt, ronwlim, stealthboy, one69chev, detola, crpl_hicks, phildesfr, chrisrudd4554, chyron8472 - amongst many others etc).

Hey Oojason, I tweaked the Star Wars template you posted, just a little bit, to remove the different shades of the colour black that are the center. It now looks a little cleaner, and uniform with the colour black in the star field area at the top. I wanted to help out this cause, in anyway possible.
I hope this helps! 😃

Just a quick knock-up for a few ideas on various fonts… (I’d have no idea on how to do a crawl type text myself - though am sure the talented lads on here could)

sites like…

^ are all free and easy to use & download various fonts - as well as being able to see each letter and an example up close 😃

Could one of you guys combine these to make a “clean” template?

 

It’s not exact, but this is from something I knocked up in the ‘dvd cover’ thread a few weeks ago…

Hopefully it’ll be ok for what you want?

It can be downloaded in full size from a google drive here:-

Disney brings back laserdisc sized packaging
Time

It’a quality idea - love the artwork, nostalgia and seeing those big laserdisc-sized covers once again 😃

The main issue for us lovers of fan-made custom art is that many of our home printers may well be too small to print a full size laserdisc cover on (a laserdisc sleeve/cover measures in at 12" inches - plus flaps), and it’s likely have to be printed on quite shiny and thick-ish card rather than the semi-glossy/glossy paper we use for dvd or blu ray covers…

It’d also use up a decent amount of printer ink at that size too.

You’d also have to decide whether to have a 24"x 12" cover - which would fold over with additional flaps - or have 2 12" x 12" covers and somehow stick them together (likely more additional flaps?) - and also if and what size you want the spine to be…

a few vinyl template covers (just for ideas) - https://www.duplication.ca/printspecs/vinyl.htm and http://www.piratespress.com/templates/12-inch-jacket/

However, if stores like Staples or photo / printer stores have the means - and are reasonably priced - then it could be an intriguing project!

It’d be certainly worth asking a few people with knowledge of laserdiscs and vinyl what type of printable card to use, how much it’d be and where to buy from - and also how best to fold and secure the covers etc

(as well as finding out how to secure the blu ray or dvd disc itself in the cover?)

 

Could be a lot of work to make it happen - but also a welcome challenge for someone out there 😃

Someone who does Reddit ask him what what version of Star Wars he saw in 4K!

and does a cut of Rogue One before the re-shoots still exist - and does he think it likely it’ll ever get released?

(or can we pop around his place sometime and watch his pre-re-shoot cut of it?)

Do we even know if there’s a complete cut of some alternate story?

I’m guessing there is a cut of the film that was completed (or near-on completed) - before the re-shoots were ordered.
