It’ll be very unlikely to happen - it may seem a popular idea by the Tories right now who need something for their supporters to rally behind - and it’ll be a good, though hypocritical, move for the Tory readers of the Mail, S*n and Express.

Yet it won’t work…

It’s similar to that router idea which would ban porn that the UK Govt had a couple of years ago - before they were told it was unworkable and the public found out that a large Tory donor would be the making most of the routers?

Besides…

What is porn and what is art?

What will the appeal process be? - and how much will the regulatory body cost to fund? how quick will the regulatory body be to ease access to Barnados, NSPCC and other websites dealing, helping and educating in sex abuse and other sites mistakenly listed (as in that router opt in/out farce?)?

How about sites that aren’t listed as mainly porn sites but do contain some - or little amount of ‘porn’ material?

a vpn will simply get around this UK ban - even a chrome extension. 'Cos kids are useless with tech…

Even if not, P2P is about to get a little boost next year…

Smaller ISP’s in the UK even still allow access to banned torrent sites - so how will the Govt force them to do this? I doubt the Govt has a list of all the ISPs in the UK…

Storing financial details (if credit card ID) of customers on a porn site isn’t the best idea - and could make them a target for hackers/blackmailers etc - let alone the idea of trusting financial information with untrusted companies (and employees)… are the FCA going to be involved too? 😉

and for 16-17 years olds - you can legally have sex - but you can’t watch others have sex online? Even for education, or ideas etc…

and finally - no kid is ever going to get hold of their parent’s credit card info are they…

 

(and that’s IF the Tories can get this through and made law - which is unlikely - seems to be posturing and preaching to their converted)

I bought my TR-47 discs on Ebay. That was long before I found this place and knew it could be acquired for free. Others are likely in that boat.

Excuse my noobiness but what is TR-47?
(I hope I’m not getting off topic.)

Info on the TR47 set can be found here mate - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/id/1364

Basically it’s a laserdisc to dvd transfer of the OT - as was the norm back in 2003/04 on here…

IIRC it was one of the first quality sets out around at that time - along with the Dr Gonzo, and the later EditDroid, IsoMix, Moth3r, Farsight sets etc…

 

a list of the major projects from back then can be found here (in amongst some more modern releases):-

Love the old style-ish logos for the new films - even the Prequel Trilogy looks - (and I mean looks) - better with old style logo covers 😃

HI-Res Poster Art

Here’s a link to my collection of Star Wars posters:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/z9r9en8oyxs1hww/AAANY-SqXCn85zElBjhLoBCKa?dl=0

It’s still a work in progress. My goal is to collect every official poster ever released, in the highest resolution possible. I think it would be great to have a comprehensive database available online.

So, if anyone has / knows where super high res or rare posters can be found, let me know!

I’ve also collected a great bunch of alternate posters worth checking out 😃

Also, maybe this already exists and I’m totally behind the times – either way, enjoy.

Very impressive mate - some nice posters there I hadn’t seen before - many thanks for sharing. Hope you find a lot more covers to come…
 

I’ve added your post to a list of covers and useful links etc:-

http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/A-list-of-Box-Sets-3-in-1-Trilogy-covers-single-case-sets-some-useful-links/id/53673 -

^ hopefully it’ll come in handy for others to find stuff on here etc

 

doubleKO also has a great collection of art/posters etc here (1.48gb-ish) - link

He also found this superb site for many different Star Wars posters / art, here at Heritage Auctions:-

Wasn’t there another Dead film in the works? I imagine Monsterpalooza will memorialize him in September.

Yes mate - ‘Road Of The Dead’

https://www.flickeringmyth.com/2017/07/george-a-romero-says-road-of-the-dead-is-the-fast-and-the-furious-with-zombies/

I imagine Z-Nation, iZombie, F/TWD et al will all be giving nods to his passing soon as well.

Looking for Blu Ray covers for I-III that include the theatrical posters on the front

If you could put a link on here to your DeSpecialized blu-ray set (or it’s covers) - then someone on here may have / know where to find the Prequel Trilogy blu-ray covers set to match.

I uploaded pictures for you guys

Thanks - that set is very much likely by phildesfr - from this thread here - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Custom-blu-ray-setfor-the-Despecialized-Editions/id/18201/page/1

Could well be worth asking phildesfr if there are any Prequel Trilogy covers (though as Tyler0013 says, there doesn’t seem to be any for matching PT covers that set) - though he may have seen some elsewhere?

May also be worth asking if anyone is willing to knock up a set to match - there are some very talented people on here…

Good luck with it - I hope you find what you are looking for.

 

edit - the front of these Prequel covers with old style logos (in the main) - may come in use for ideas or inspiration etc…?
