The more I see and hear of Riz the more I like, an interesting man.

Quality video - really enjoyed watching that and quite educational too - thanks for posting it ZkinandBonez.

edit - apologies ZkinandBonez - damn my lazy copy 'n paste without paying attention skills 😉

Found some interesting and varied art on a few twitter accounts - some may be of interest…

there are 1 or 2 adult themed SW art pages too - I’ll let you find those yourselves…

Thought this was kind of cool…

Does anyone have this as a highres textless version? The LD Cover was textless and there is an italian version of this poster without text. I’m also looking for a highres version of the “Ewoks - The Battle of Endor” Logo (the roughed up version).

I’m not sure about hi-res poster art - but hopefully this dvd cover by Rikter - on the superb thestarwarstrilogy.com website - is ok for a textless version of the poster you are after?

The full size cover here at the link below is 3240x2188, is 300dpi, and is around 4.7mb:-

This may be of interest to you mate?:-

The ‘Star Wars 1992 VHS styled DVD covers’ thread - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-1992-VHS-styled-DVD-covers/id/18239

Some quality work in there by crissrudd4554 and EyeShotFirst - and shouldn’t be too difficult adapt for adding some Harmy specs or logos - especially on the lower back covers etc.

It may also be worth checking out the DVD Covers thread, BluRay and HD covers thread, the Harmy threads, njvc’s Harmy custom thread, and the 1990 VHS cover thread (as similar as those covers are) for ideas, info and help too.

Could someone upload those please? I just can’t find them anywhere. I tried Deviantart as these Images are histed there, but nothing either.

They are here mate - http://uloz.to/xSSTDNW/deed-v1-0-covers-rar

The link is also on the 1st post of the Harmy’s DeSpecialized thread (just in case), here - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Harmys-STAR-WARS-Despecialized-Edition-HD-V25-MKV-IS-OUT-NOW/id/12713

There is also some disc art in there - as well as a 3-in-1 Trilogy cover too 😃

You can also download them from this googledrive, here:-

Inspired by Empire Magazine actually referencing my images in their “Complete List Of Star Wars Changes”, I started a twitter account to hightlight some of the changes.

Cool idea - and nice work too, spread the truth, brother 😃

Aye, not their best - though did like the one particular joke from K2SO about flying the ship 😃

A shame really - as their Rogue One review video back in mid-December was one of the better youtube reviews around - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azAhWssdmkI

The video from the ‘How It Should Have Ended’ people for Rogue One:-

^ reminds me of myself most days 😃

Sure, let know when you wish to start.

Nice one - it’ll likely be a couple of weeks mate (I need to recover from trying to use my brain again vs d_e first! 😃)

I’ve knocked up a list of covers, box sets, 3-in-1 / trilogy covers etc - along with some useful links - to help us all find the various quality covers made by people here on the ot.com over the years:-

A list of Box Sets, 3-in-1 / Trilogy covers, single case sets + some useful links…

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

any suggestions for covers or useful links to be added to it are most welcome 😃

Came across these cool old covers whilst looking for something else the other day - I think they are by the talented THX(?), a poster on here from years gone by, and well worth a bump…

I’m going to take a break and focus on real life. I hope to watch others play, though.

Ok, but if you take too long a break, I might have to declare you OT.com championship title vacant. If you wish to keep the title, you have to defend it once and awhile.

I found the thread oojason was referring to, buy it’s been more than a couple of years:

http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Announcing-OTCom-Online-Chess-Tournament/id/5139/page/1

ah, the good old days.

Nice find by darth_ender - just read through that tournament thread (11 years ago, eeek!) - quality times indeed mate 😃

I have to say if I knew d_e vs me were playing for the ‘ot.com Chess Master’ title I’d have taken it more seriously… and played right-handed 😉

Warbler - if you’re free in a few weeks or so, would you like to play a game vs me again? (no worries if not, or busy etc)

and they said there wouldn’t be a sequel… Rogue Two : The Lesser Known Heroes…

(I’m ignoring that fan made mickey-taking posters are better than official dvd covers 😉)

Well she is beautiful, so I’m not too offended. I really enjoyed this game. Thanks so much for playing. It was a very engrossing game 😃

Thanks mate 😃

I think that is the end for me - and I resign.

Very well played and congratulations to darth_ender.

a big thank you also to Warbler for letting us play a game in his thread too.

Really enjoyed that (apart from the losing bit 😉) overall - hope to play again soon.

thanks to Frink for the ‘Make sure you wiggle that cute behind on your way over there’ comment to d_e just now - I can only picture darth_ender as Alexandra Kosteniuk now 😃 It really is strange how the mind works at times… (sorry darth_ender!)

Thanks - you’re very kind, I’m enjoying the game very much - though I’ve remembered how much easier it is seeing potential moves and how the game may unfold when just watching a match - as opposed to playing in one 😃

You play very well; logical and always pressing & probing - whilst also maintaining a solid base for defence. It’s intriguing to both watch and play against.

Well you play solidly yourself. Though I gained a material advantage early on, you still had pieces placed in such a position that left me worried. That’s why I almost forced the queen and rook trades. Sometimes the best strategy is to secure a material advantage, then trade till the little advantage becomes more significant. Even a one pawn advantage means much more when there are fewer pieces on the board.

Forcing the Queen and Rook trade was a good tactical move - and really did for me. My main hope at that time was to try and feign an attack by my Queen on your right flank - though position the Queen to threaten the G7 pawn after trying to work your Knight around the G4 area with my Rook for a sneaky (and undeserved) checkmate 😃 (or force a mistake/advantage from it…)

As you say, after the Q & R exchange that early advantage and positioning has become more significant. Eeek! 😃
