Info Wanted: Return of the Jedi - "Review Copy" (PAL VHS)
Time

According to the great http://www.swonvideo.com/ website it is from 1986 (and obviously for the UK) and was a promo copy for the coming ROTJ rental tape at the time.

The review or promo copy is what they sent around to video rental shops for them to show it on loop - to help generate a bit more interest etc before it’s actual release - and the quality of tape was usually higher than the standard rental/to buy tape (even for a Betamax) to withstand the looped playing.

Star Trek used to do the same for their releases on VHS back in the day - if the shop staff didn’t know what they were doing you could easily end up buying one by mistake (I did a couple of times) and it had an annoying timebar across the bottom of the screen, so I returned it - to which the staff who knew better were very grateful for.

I don’t know if it’s worth anything - but is certainly quite rare.

I’ve been pondering EXACTLY this! These are great, my friend. Thanks.
 

Nice one mate - if you do the same or similar (or find some more USB Boxes/Cases) please post up some pics 😃

Does anyone know where to find the Blu Ray-style cases in the US besides in bulk?
 

Not in the US mate, though in nearby Canada…

link - https://www.carrmclean.ca/flash-pac-super-clear-usb-case.html

^ I think it’s a blu ray sized case - though best check with them first.

 

The http://www.leeds10.com/blu-ray-style-usb-case-clear-14mm-spine-with-insert-sleeve/ UK-based company I ordered from will deliver to the US (I’m not sure on price of postage though) - but you can check the amount before ordering - you don’t have to register or sign up beforehand - and they do accept paypal too if easier?

 

Good luck with it mate - let us know if you do find any cheaper / not in bulk etc…

 


some bulk-buy USB Cases…

a bluray sized USB & Disc Case (50 cases for $40 plus delivery):-

there is a ‘make an offer’ option - and may well be worth emailing and asking them for a reduced order?

some smaller / alternative USB Cases & Boxes…

I did find some smaller USB Cases on the US amazon - they are kind of cool and do the job - though could be a bit small and finicky to get some artwork or logo on, and may not fit all USB flash drives?

Anyway, they are $15.99 + delivery for 20 USB Cases, here:-

link - https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Holder-Magnetic-Closure-SH1USB/dp/B019HIN57A

^ there are a few of these on amazon - with differing quantities and prices.

 

 

A narrow photo cover sleeved USB Box - $15 with free delivery, here:-

link - https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Flash-Drive-Photo-Cover/dp/B00E1LRJPS/

 

 

A black Photo Box with photo sleeve on the front - $9.99 with free delivery, here:-

(You’d need some sponge/foam or something else to hold the USB drive in place - but looks ok other than that)

link - https://www.amazon.com/Neil-Enterprises-Inc-Black-Photo/dp/B01D1XSPNQ/

 

 

Obviously there are the good old solid USB pouch-style cases - great for USB storage - though no photo sleeve or room to label the many USB drives as to what is individually on them…

Available for $9.50 plus delivery, here:-

link - https://www.amazon.com/ZXUY-Capability-Flash-Drives-Black/dp/B00ML76SN8/

^ there are many of these on amazon - with differing quantities and prices.

 

 

For storing those back-up external Hard Drives these may be of interest - $5.89 with free delivery, here:-

(transparent-ish with photo/art sleeve to label the Hard Drive Case)

link - https://www.amazon.com/Zeroyoyo-Portable-Storage-Protection-Boxes/dp/B01MU58A6P/

^ there are many of these on amazon - with differing quantities, colours and prices - and also for 2.5" Hard Drives too.

 

 

These may be of interest (the individual boxes, rather than the larger box) - but look like a decent option. $7.32 plus delivery, here:-

(you’d need some sponge/foam etc to hold the USB drive in place)

Quality mate - though I have to admit I never noticed that the lightsabre was blue in the Struzan covers before (nor that Luke may have been wearing his get-up from ESB on ROTJ artwork) - I think it may be time for an eye test!

From the creators of The Captains and Chaos on the Bridge comes a new documentary for Deep Space Nine, What We Left Behind, and I am so excited I practically wet myself. The IndieGoGo campaign went up for it yesterday, and they’ve already raised more over $40,000 more than they asked for. Check it out! Its release can’t come soon enough for me.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/what-we-left-behind-star-trek-deep-space-nine-doc

Nice one - looking forward to hearing about more of this 😃

I sort of lost interest in Trek due to Voyager and the poor start of Enterprise - as well as not having high expectations for the Discovery series (so far) and also a bit disappointed with the new films (as enjoyable ‘pop-corn movies riffing on the old stuff’ as they are).

That Axenar premise looked quite intriguing though.

If this ‘What We Left Behind’ comes to fruition I’ll have to dig out an re-read the excellent DS9 Companion once more 😃

IMDB closing down it's message boards
Time

Puggo - Jar Jar’s Yoda said:

I found the IMDB forums useful for looking up obscure information. Unfortunately, many forums are shutting down as they are becoming a less and less justifiable cost and liability to moderate with so many trolls and bots.

Agreed mate, and the relatively anonymous mask of sitting behind the keyboard and posting hate and drivel has given rise to an army of trolls, baiters and bots - from news comments sections, to IT, to comedy - all across the media in general.

However, IMDB (a subsidiary of Amazon still?) is one of the few companies out there that could hire enough skilled/experienced moderators to do more of job weeding out the shite on their boards - though they have decided not to until it has become so bad they no longer want to be associated with their own boards.

It’s a bit disappointing to be honest from IMDB - as others have posted out - the trolls will still exist and just find new safer places to continue to post their hate/shite etc (NIMBY - but your yard is ok).

And the good, interesting and insightful posts lost for good…

A Star Wars USB Drive - <em>Box, Case, Tape, Tin, Frame, Figure &amp; Cover</em> Thread...
Time

 
Just thought I’d start a thread for something a little different - an alternative option to storing our precious Star Wars films etc on dvd and blu ray discs and in their respective cases and box sets…

Something that’s quite easy to do, uses a lot less ink, stores the films safely, is reasonably cheap - and still have their own artwork so to differentiate between the various Star Wars releases accumulated over the years…

With the humble USB flash drive becoming ever cheaper, more reliable and with increased storage sufficient enough to fit many, many films on a single device - I thought I’d give it a go backing up my Star Wars dvds onto some USB drives - and also knocking up some covers for the USB Drive Boxes (and USB Cases too)…

my USB Drive Box and Cover:-

Minion

^ The USB Box above cost £8.95 + delivery, from here:-

https://www.amazon.co.uk/USB-Window-Black-Artificial-Leather/dp/B00ULK8ITE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1482502830&sr=8-2&keywords=usb+photo+box

(click on the link above for more pictures - it is also available in white - and you can also get the USB Box for around £5 without the option for a photo cover).

The photo window size is 8.5cm by 8cm - I added an extra 0.5cm all around for the ‘artwork’ to fit in nicely.

It’s a decent quality box - with a magnetic seal, and sponge surrounding to house the all important USB drive.

 

There is also this similar USB Box for £4.60 (plus delivery), here:-

link - https://shop.photomart.co.uk/59168.html

 

I’ve also bought some of these bluray style USB Cases (5 cases for £8 delivered), here:-

link - http://www.leeds10.com/blu-ray-style-usb-case-clear-14mm-spine-with-insert-sleeve/

^ this case is the same size as many bluray cases (14mm spine) - is a good quality build - and the company delivers to many countries around the world 😃

See below for a couple of pictures of this USB Case being used with Rogue One & Harmy DeSpecialized Trilogy inksaver covers…

 

and I also found these smaller bluray/dvd style USB Cases - it measures in at 100 x 95 x 18mm (25 cases for £25 delivered), here:-

link - http://www.jetmedia.co.uk/flashdrives_cases.htm

 

 

For whatever reason there doesn’t seem to be a lot of USB Boxes or USB Cases available online, and the few that are have a minimum order of 100 or so from Chinese-based websites like alibaba.com & aliexpress.com, or US-based websites like shop.sunpack.com & premiumusb.com/ etc.

Some other USB Boxes are also quite expensive as they are often used by wedding photographers - and the magic word ‘wedding’ just seems to add £££s/$$$s to anything associated with one.

If you do come across any quality or cheap USB Boxes & USB Cases please post them up in here - thank you 😃

 

Some covers I made for the USB Box (mainly for ideas etc)…

(when I say ‘made’ I mean found on google or other places, resized them, edited them and then added some text to them using MS Paint with a few Star Wars fonts 😉 These were mainly for ideas etc - but feel free to use and improve upon…)

Basically, any art or logo etc that you like should be able to be easily cut down to size - and then printed off as a cover for a USB Box…

A good quality USB flash drive (ie, SanDisk or Kingston) costs around £15-20 for 64gb here in the UK - approximately $18-25 in US money.
 

I originally posted some USB flash drive covers in the ‘Star Wars DVD Covers’ thread - and interest and questions have been steadily coming in - so thought I’d start a thread on it.

Hopefully others will post their USB Boxes, USB Cases and covers too - or just to help us remember to back up our dvd and bluray discs - just in case…

a simple inksaver 1986/87 Special Collection 3-in-1 Trilogy dvd cover

^ very much based on the Dark Jedi’s covers for the ‘Dark-Saga’ collection.

Some of the photos on the back cover may need re-aligning, as well as the text on the bottom of the back cover to suit any specific sets - or conversion for bluray covers.

It’s yet another quick ‘cut n paste’ MS paint effort - but hopefully it’ll do the job - or give ideas for someone to do a better or alternative cover.

Really like the layout and look of simplicity on the JSC covers.

Sorry, I meant he did a 3 n 1 BD25, it did not have any artwork. That is why I was thinking that using the DVD one to base a bluray one off of. His 3 n 1 was for the JSC set, not the Special Widescreen Edition.

I may well give that a go in the next few days - someone kindly sent me some Dark Jedi dark saga transfer covers (JSC set) last week… 😉

i re-did the opening title cards with new music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=878xGMyjHPA

Quality work Jack - and nice re-working to include the Imperial March, which suits a more ‘punchy’ opening when compared with the film opening title sequence actually used.

Personally I’d like to see the something like the crawl from the Rogue One crawl from Celebration 2016 used (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9BuyiFvLJA) - without the ‘Episode IV’ and ‘A New Hope’ titles obviously 😉

Then at the end of the crawl, emerges a R1 logo title likes the ones you did (I imagine one of the brighter yellow titles will be a better ‘fit’ or ‘match-up’ more)? and then the film begins…

Just my two-penneth (apologies if it’s already been discussed to death) - am looking forward to seeing these various R1 Edits when finished 😃

That’s cool. Any idea who should be on Episode 8? Luke, Rey? or another villain? Snoke perhaps?

Luke probably should be one one of them - given the number of films he’s been in?

T’is a really great yellow colour on that TFA box above.

Maybe Jyn, K2S0 or Tarkin on the front for any R1 cover? (possibly Krennic - though maybe not iconic enough a character?)

Actually I’d argue Krennic would fit best since he is the one who arguably drives the plot forward and for the picture it should be a picture of Scarif with the building front and center. I’ll try and do a mock-up but I’m good at editing an already existing picture. Not so much from scratch. Can you link me the font used for the “Faces” set?

Another I guess would be a Death Trooper.

You could well be right there mate.

Off hand, I think the font used is ‘Star Jedi’ - http://www.fontspace.com/boba-fonts/star-jedi

tommyauck will know for sure - he’d have used it for his Prequel Title lettering 😃

For the subtitle font / text, that is Bank Gothic - https://ufonts.com/download/bank-gothic-medium/97517.html
 

Somewhere in this section of ot.com someone put together a great font / logo collection with pics from many of the various sets - but I can’t find it right now - doh!

Jedit - found it 😃

Hopefully, this may be of use to anyone looking up info for fonts and logos - the superb Trooperman and his ‘SW fonts’ thread from 2005:-

there is also some large-ish poster art for Rogue One - which may be of use for a Rogue One Faces-style cover - in here:-
