I’m gonna go with “wait for the inevitable superior double-dip.”

That was gonna be my response too, but I’m pretty eager to get to editing on this one. It’ll be the first fanedit I put online. And while I’d love some deleted material to go through and possibly add, my edit will be fairly simple. Just removing and switching around a few things.

Looking forward to seeing what you fan editors come up with - obviously a shame there are no deleted/alternative scenes etc yet - but there are a fair few in the trailers and promos which may be of use for certain shots or ideas etc.

 

I’ll be going for the cheap UK dvd - and then get hold of a decent fan-made cover for it to replace the fairly awful official dvd cover - or may just lazily use this:-

Definitely sends a message.

I reckon he’d have CCTV on his mailbox (probably in the form of an Imperial Probe Droid 😉)

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…

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?

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 😃
