EyeShotFirst, is there a reason you forgot the image of Yoda on the back cover of ESB?? Also this was discussed in another thread but does anyone by any chance have a logofree version of the ROTJ artwork but with the ‘smaller’ Lando like on the VHS cover?? The only logofree version of that artwork that I can find has ‘larger’ Lando.

Anyone here who can help find that ‘smaller Lando’ print of the ROTJ artwork?? Also does anyone happen to have any large scans of the back covers of these UK covers?? They seem to be the best source for textless or close to textless copies of the '92 back cover collages. Thanks!!

I think FrankT may have done some 1992 covers (in amongst some quality covers of various sets he has done) - may be worth having a look through his thread here - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Franks-Star-Wars-DVDBD-Covers/id/47698 - or PMing him mate

^ Sadly, I don’t think he did, mate (or if he did, the links are no longer working - which unfortunately happens quite a lot for some of the older covers etc on here).

It may be worth PM-ing Coov to see if has a copy, or hopefully someone else out there will have a copy of it and be willing to share (or inspire someone to do a new version of it).

It is indeed a quality cover, as many were/are by the very talented Coov… a shame much of his work has been lost over time.

Wazzles - thanks mate, will see what I can do later on with the picture on the back (I may have to install this free GIMP software instead of just trying to get by with MS Paint - it may be becoming apparent why I usually stick to white inksaver sets 😉)

crissrudd4554 - I feel like an idiot now, I actually typed that GL message out for it (I couldn’t find a decent resolution pic of it) - and then deleted it - and used a picture of the X-Wing and Tie Fighter instead. Doh! 😃

Here we go again!

Anyone who wants the covers so far - to use, edit, cannibalise, or mock etc - they can be viewed and downloaded in ‘full size’, here:-

https://mega.nz/folder/JfUTwACb#F-B4a_-oJrLTbP7h0KHw8Q

For anyone who wants the full size ‘Making Of’ and ‘From Wars To Jedi’ by the quality sluggo, as well as Faces sets by Mackey, and Rikter himself (for the Gonzo & TR47 sets), they can be found amongst the superb Rikter Cover Collection disc (or 99.7% of it), also available to view and download, here:-

R.I.P. Sir John Hurt.

Sad news - and a good reason to watch 1984 again, in these times especially.

For me, he had that rare ability to lift a film to a better quality or standard - a quality actor and a quality man.

I like the second one, but I think the blue bar on the front is too thick.

Nice one mate, how about this below?

I’ve also tided up the fonts and Faces pics on the back cover and spine too - a bit more higher quality now.

(It still doesn’t look great - but better than the thick title bar on the front cover before?)

An Index + 'Info & Help ’ Thread for… Case Covers, Disc Labels, and Fan Art…

Hopefully this thread will help us find some the various covers and box sets etc that have been made by OT•com members over the years. There are also some ‘useful links’ to cover sites, art sites, guides & manuals for making your own sets, printing advice & information etc - whether for ideas, inspiration or just to print out & use…

This Index is obviously incomplete - and my humble & sincere apologies to anyone I’ve overlooked or missed out. If anyone has any suggestions for covers, art, projects or links etc to be added to this Index, please post them below - thank you.

Some members here have also made a lot more covers and box sets than are linked to below (these are just the links that I’ve found so far - that still contain working pictures in them at the time of compiling this post). Unfortunately, a fair few quality covers have been lost over time due to changes on imageshack, photobucket and other photo hosting websites over the years… though some of the old and great kevin.alfahosting.org / home.pages.at/grisan cover repository of yesteryear are available once again; via the Internet Archive’s WayBack Machine.

If you are going to create a new thread requesting a specific cover - please have a look through the projects listed in this thread below - as well as the ‘Generic Custom Cover website links’ section (also below) - before posting such a request - thank you.

If you’re going to build your own dvd or blu ray boxset it may be an idea to get hold of any old cheap box set from a thrift store or car boot sale etc (you won’t even the need the discs) - just to play around with it, get the measurements, see how it was made, where the tabs and folds are etc - before starting works on your own quality boxset…

A kind member on here - Captain_Danielsan - has made a generous offer for those wishing to use his at-cost Disc Printing Service - especially useful for those without a printer with a ‘print-to-disc’ function - the details for which can be found here…

If anyone sees any decent, interesting, unique, or just quality covers out there - or has more suggestions for threads to be added to the ‘useful links’ section, please post or link to it below - thank you.

Also, please post up any covers or links you come across from the following very talented artists - ReverendBeastly, Falle, HotRod, AvP, Spyderbyte, Chainsaw Ash, Imrahil, Coov, and Yourfriendkaysar - much of their quality work has sadly been lost on here over time…

(and also let us know if you spot any mistakes or broken links on here - thanks)

This thread was originally just a few links to some of the quality 3-in-1 covers or box sets, though has grown into somewhat of an unwieldy mammoth… hopefully it’ll still be of some help in finding some of the quality covers & art on here.

Time: 28-Jan-2017 10:33 AM — Edited 11-Jul-2017 6:32 AM

Was messing around just trying to quickly knock up some ideas for a very simple and generic Faces Trilogy boxset cover - based on sluggo’s quality ‘Making Of’ cover - I came up with this ‘3/4 finished’ bodge-job so far (I ran out of ideas to put on the back - doh!)…

The rest of the back cover is too low in quality and the front upper title isn’t great - but it is just for ideas etc…

Though if anyone fancies a go at it, or something similar, it’d be great to see a Faces-themed trilogy cover 😃

I’m not very good at this - but cut out the bottom of the the boba feta’s superb Puggo dvd cover into a square - which’d hopefully make a half decent discart? (or give someone with a bit of talent an idea etc 😃)

It may need a little re-positioning if you overlay it to see what gets cut off to be printed for a disc label though…

Hope you like it mate.

The list below of users on here who have done box sets or 3-in-1 / Trilogy covers is obviously incomplete - and apologies to anyone I’ve missed anyone out - though hopefully it’ll help people find some the various superb box sets etc… whether for ideas, inspiration or just to print out & use 😃

Please note - not all listed below are single box dvd covers - and while some links have their own threads, others are just pictures or downloads links.

Some people listed here have also done a lot more covers and box sets than are linked below (these are just the links that I’ve found so far - that still contain working pictures in them)…

Special Letterbox Collector’s Edition, and Special Widescreen Edition, and Definitive Collectors Edition and… and… all ends up a jumble 😃

With all the many different releases I often refer to websites like the superb http://www.swonvideo.com/ (with large picture art of each release) to help me stay on the path of not get getting confused / trying to work out which cover art is based on which release.

What’s weird is mine don’t have the aqua colored stripe on top, it is gray on mine.

The look a little greyer here below too (could it be fading or exposure to light over the years?)

AvP once created a great DVD-cover and discart for the Technidisc-preservation of Star Wars. Does anyone still have those?

I’m not sure about the AvP version - but Rikter also did a set (around page 76 of this thread).

There was a also a thread here that may be worth looking at mate - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/STAR-WARS-Special-Widescreen-Edition-Technidisc/id/13263

Good luck with it.

This is exactly what i was talking about and would make my day.

Looks like it was one on Falle’s superb covers - it may be worth sending him a PM, and for some reason I think the very talented FrankT may have done a similar set or cover (I could well be mistaken) - he does have his own thread of covers though - good luck with it anyway 😃

Edit - seems the talented AvP also did a quite a similar set…

Falle’s dvd set is on here - though it seems you may have to pay to download them (or become a contributor and then you can get them for free?):-

Keith Ellison, who was recommended by folks like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, will in all likelihood take over as DNC chair, but things aren’t all a bed of roses yet.

Bernie might run again, but there’s no real democratic front-runner for the party to rally around yet (that I’ve heard of).

Thank you for the post and links.

Ellison seems interesting character and choice - though his views on Israel (alleged or otherwise) will likely be a talking point - and possible distraction? Religion, eh?

(It has been a bone of contention in the UK recently with some people - in the main politicians and the hate-media - seemingly not able to separate that others can have sympathy for Palestinians and not be anti-Semitic too - it was certainly an easy target for a time).

I never served, but I would hope anyone who has would agree that Trump’s speech at the CIA was despicable.

JEDIT:

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/01/in-seconds-at-the-cia-trump-made-america-less-safe/514193/

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/22/donald-trump-cia-speech-win-twitter-protests

The outgoing head of the CIA thinks along those lines (taken from the above article) - “On Saturday night, however, the recently retired CIA director John Brennan communicated through a former aide that he was “deeply saddened and angered at Trump’s despicable display of self-aggrandisement” in front of the memorial wall.”

Trump’s speech (and later tweet) doesn’t sit well at all, having served or not, it is pretty disconcerting, and disrespectful, to put it mildly.

Sadly, I think you may have more of this to come…

On a separate note, as a Brit with little knowledge of US politics, how is the Opposition shaping up to take on Trump (and like all good Opposition should) during his administration for the next term (and maybe more)?

Are there any young and bright sparks coming to the fore, or a possibility of Sanders running again? (Is Sanders ok with with Democratic Party after it’s actions in favouring Clinton in ‘The Primaries’ (apologies if I miss-use the terminology or got my facts wrong).

How are Republican warming to Trump? Are they happy with his actions so far, and are they confident for the next election?

(and apologies also if this has already been discussed in here - or everyone is bored with it 😃)

The global gag rule goes much further than simply banning US foreign aid from paying for abortions directly — which is already the law, and which has its own detrimental consequences for women.

Instead, the gag rule tries to control how international organizations use their own funds, raised from other sources. Just like Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood in the United States, it’s an attempt to stop abortion from happening by forcing organizations that provide it to make a choice: stop providing or promoting abortion, or lose the large amounts of funding that you get from the US government to support your other medical services.

The reality is simple and brutal. Reinstating the global gag rule will not reduce abortions. Sub-Saharan Africa, for instance, had higher abortion rates after George W. Bush reinstated the gag rule, because it reduced women’s access to contraception and caused more unwanted pregnancies, which women then chose to terminate.

The gag rule will, however, lead to more women dying across the developing world. Marie Stopes International, a major global family planning organization, estimates that without alternative funding, the loss of its services alone will cause 6.5 million unintended pregnancies, 2.2 million abortions, 2.1 million unsafe abortions, and 21,700 maternal deaths just in Trump’s first term, from 2017 to 2020. The organization says it will also be prevented from reaching 1.5 million women with contraception every year.

Studies conducted by PAI have shown that every time the global gag rule returns, more women in developing countries bear unwanted pregnancies, die or become disabled due to unsafe abortions, or lose crucial medical care.

So much for respecting life.

Directed at personal use of one’s body ONLY, taking precautions or abstinence is every persons right and responsibility if they could not afford the possible outcome. In cases of medical necessity (life/death of fetus/mother) or sexual assault/attack, I would think they’d be wise enough to allow it. I’m not them nor am I privy to the actual details of all this gag rule encompasses so this is just my opinion based on information I know of.

If any organization mentions the word “abortion”, they can no longer have any American government funding, even for contraception. There is no wisdom to any of this. You can’t expect the entire third world to stop having sex because they can’t get condoms anymore.

You mean they cannot abstain? They must have sex constantly to survive like breathing air? They shouldn’t need American funding to take care of their own country should they? Those countries cannot raise the money themselves and/or find better ways to educate their populations on their own?

Some are refugees, some are uneducated, some will have been made pregnant against their will (though cannot for fear of safety disclose that). Some will be in countries where there is hardly any government in place - or the little Govt there is, is corrupt, inept - or not trusted.

Thankfully a few charities do great work in places like this - and as stated in the vox thread above - it seems that many of these places will lose access to birth control, education and the services as a whole (along with the results and effects last time the ‘gag rule’ was in place).

For people on the ground there it’ll be a confusing time - possibilities will have changed, leading to confusion and trust issues - and education now has limited options too.

It also seems likely that pooling resources with other countries may well be lost too.

I’m not them nor am I privy to the actual details of all this gag rule encompasses so this is just my opinion based on information I know of.

I most certainly understand the roadblocks involved. I also consider that, in this day and age, people are far more aware due to all the education that was created when such dilemmas arose overseas. Does that knowledge just disappear? Do all those who’ve learned just forget? These are questions I cannot answer but I am glad there are other avenues.

I read it - but it didn’t include the possibilites/scenarios - or effects of - that I asked.

Education is key to this (and many things in life) - a young mother may not have the education, or access to education, as someone who had better education just a few years ago. As stated, education has just changed due to re-introduction of the gag-rule.

Word of mouth is key in environments that these charities are struggling with - and highlighting. Education is always in flux - and without doubt ‘all the education that was created when such dilemmas arose’ will indeed disappear over time - or as stated above not be in-effect for say refugees, remote places, or places where there is little trust in the Govt - or corruption - or in places where the mother may not be able to admit she has been raped for fear of reprisal or social stigma etc.

If removal of the gag-rule can save more lives - and educate people to all of the possibilities - then surely that is the better outcome for those that are likely to be affected the most, no?

If it can be done in such a way so as not to negate or remove the care of the citizens whose money is used to provide it, then yes, I would agree completely. I should state that I do not believe that it should be America’s responsibility alone to provide such things. There is an entire planet of people and nations that should bare some of the weight with regards to helping out neighboring societies that might need that little extra.

Other countries provide aid too (as mentioned in the articles linked above) and many provide aid without condition of ‘gag rules’ like has just been re-introduced.

The removal of the gag rule (or full range of options or education) - is not going to cost the US more money.

I asked you about your country because you asked me about mine. You did not answer my question so I’m going to assume the answer is no unless you just forgot what I asked.

Deflection indeed.

Don’t assume - where’s the facts in that? Though why assume ‘no’?, why not ‘yes’ or a similar amount? Why not look it up?

These are rhetorical questions - you don’t have to answer them.

.

In case you are genuinely interested in the answer to your question ‘Does your country offer equal amount of assistance as America (in equal ratio to your population), in tax payer dollars, to these causes while taking proper care of it’s people at home?’

Upon entering the term ‘percentage per population for overseas aid’ into the search bar this appears top…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_development_aid_country_donors

This is the next…

https://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2015/sep/09/foreign-aid-which-countries-are-the-most-generous

I’m in the UK.

It’s not exactly what you’re looking for - but am sure you’ll be able to extrapolate the data required.

.

For me, it’s not a competition on who does and doesn’t provide aid - or percentage - just that as long we can and do provide it if we can. And with no limits on education attached if possible.

(though well done the Swedes 😃)

And if I remember correctly, I agreed with your final sentiment in an earlier post, so there is no need for posturing. Both our countries have given greatly. I don’t know the Health Care System status of the U.K. at present but I can tell you that here in America despite what some say our Health Care System is not what it could or needs to be based on the fact that even our own Military Veterans have been dying due to poorly funded and managed systems. I’m not saying we shouldn’t help at all, I’m saying as you did, that as long as we can provide it without limitations to it’s dispersal that we do so while still being able to properly care for our own.

It’s not posturing - you asked for an answer and got one. The rest of your statement - in relation to a conversation about the gag rule - is a deflection and irrelevant to it.

The removal of the gag rule will not cost the US more money.

Now, if you’d like to talk about the wider effects of allocation funds from the Govts to it’s people at home and abroad that is a different conversation. As is the current state of the NHS.

They were my views, not deflection, and I don’t know what the cost WILL be at the moment because I don’t have any information on what is now being asked for and what the actual costs are. If you know then share them please. I want to have an informed discussion, not a pissing match, over it.

There is no monetary cost to the US in having charities, health groups and medical professionals being allowed to talk about abortion in countries where their is help is needed, and education an important factor therein.

If you think there is - there is a little chance of ‘informed discussion’.

I’ll leave it there.

I said absolutely nothing about associating a cost with verbal discussion of abortion, none. I am talking about actual medical/surgical services/supplies only and their dispersion.

Another deflection - or to blunt - a lie. Your own words say different in response to 005’s post earlier…

As I said there is little chance of informed discussion with you - it’d be more lies, deflections and revisionism from yourself - as well as an apparent ignorance of the facts linked to articles by other posters during this discussion.

And I’ve not the interest to carry on with that type of fact-free ‘discussion’ on your part.

.

Apologies for derailing the thread if it has moved on to other subjects.

If you have to backpedal through posts to find something to nag me about than I cannot help you. Bait someone else, I am no longer biting.

No baiting - just questions, ascertaining the facts.

Backpedal through posts? No, I didn’t have to do that - in fact your answer to 005 on this subject generated my first question to you - I just called you up on your later lies.

Nagging? Don’t spin your lies, your words, your posts any other way.

I do thank you for taking the time to answer my questions though.

.

For me, it’s not a competition on who does and doesn’t provide aid - or percentage - just that as long we can and do provide it if we can. And with no limits on education attached if possible.

(though well done the Swedes 😃)

And if I remember correctly, I agreed with your final sentiment in an earlier post, so there is no need for posturing. Both our countries have given greatly. I don’t know the Health Care System status of the U.K. at present but I can tell you that here in America despite what some say our Health Care System is not what it could or needs to be based on the fact that even our own Military Veterans have been dying due to poorly funded and managed systems. I’m not saying we shouldn’t help at all, I’m saying as you did, that as long as we can provide it without limitations to it’s dispersal that we do so while still being able to properly care for our own.

It’s not posturing - you asked for an answer and got one. The rest of your statement - in relation to a conversation about the gag rule - is a deflection and irrelevant to it.

The removal of the gag rule will not cost the US more money.

Now, if you’d like to talk about the wider effects of allocation funds from the Govts to it’s people at home and abroad that is a different conversation. As is the current state of the NHS.

They were my views, not deflection, and I don’t know what the cost WILL be at the moment because I don’t have any information on what is now being asked for and what the actual costs are. If you know then share them please. I want to have an informed discussion, not a pissing match, over it.

There is no monetary cost to the US in having charities, health groups and medical professionals being allowed to talk about abortion in countries where their is help is needed, and education an important factor therein.

If you think there is - there is a little chance of ‘informed discussion’.

I’ll leave it there.

I said absolutely nothing about associating a cost with verbal discussion of abortion, none. I am talking about actual medical/surgical services/supplies only and their dispersion.

Another deflection - or to blunt - a lie. Your own words say different in response to 005’s post earlier…

If any organization mentions the word “abortion”, they can no longer have any American government funding, even for contraception. There is no wisdom to any of this. You can’t expect the entire third world to stop having sex because they can’t get condoms anymore.

You mean they cannot abstain? They must have sex constantly to survive like breathing air? They shouldn’t need American funding to take care of their own country should they? Those countries cannot raise the money themselves and/or find better ways to educate their populations on their own?

As I said there is little chance of informed discussion with you - it’d be more lies, deflections and revisionism from yourself - as well as an apparent ignorance of the facts linked to articles by other posters during this discussion.

And I’ve not the interest to carry on with that type of fact-free ‘discussion’ on your part.

Have you an answer? - or do you have another deflection?

Yes.

This is Jay’s answer, not mine, and I’m not sure why he might presume to speak for someone else.

I raised a chuckle - and he wasn’t wrong.

Apologies for derailing the thread if it has moved on to other subjects.

The global gag rule goes much further than simply banning US foreign aid from paying for abortions directly — which is already the law, and which has its own detrimental consequences for women.

Instead, the gag rule tries to control how international organizations use their own funds, raised from other sources. Just like Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood in the United States, it’s an attempt to stop abortion from happening by forcing organizations that provide it to make a choice: stop providing or promoting abortion, or lose the large amounts of funding that you get from the US government to support your other medical services.

The reality is simple and brutal. Reinstating the global gag rule will not reduce abortions. Sub-Saharan Africa, for instance, had higher abortion rates after George W. Bush reinstated the gag rule, because it reduced women’s access to contraception and caused more unwanted pregnancies, which women then chose to terminate.

The gag rule will, however, lead to more women dying across the developing world. Marie Stopes International, a major global family planning organization, estimates that without alternative funding, the loss of its services alone will cause 6.5 million unintended pregnancies, 2.2 million abortions, 2.1 million unsafe abortions, and 21,700 maternal deaths just in Trump’s first term, from 2017 to 2020. The organization says it will also be prevented from reaching 1.5 million women with contraception every year.

Studies conducted by PAI have shown that every time the global gag rule returns, more women in developing countries bear unwanted pregnancies, die or become disabled due to unsafe abortions, or lose crucial medical care.

So much for respecting life.

Directed at personal use of one’s body ONLY, taking precautions or abstinence is every persons right and responsibility if they could not afford the possible outcome. In cases of medical necessity (life/death of fetus/mother) or sexual assault/attack, I would think they’d be wise enough to allow it. I’m not them nor am I privy to the actual details of all this gag rule encompasses so this is just my opinion based on information I know of.

Some are refugees, some are uneducated, some will have been made pregnant against their will (though cannot for fear of safety disclose that). Some will be in countries where there is hardly any government in place - or the little Govt there is, is corrupt, inept - or not trusted.

Thankfully a few charities do great work in places like this - and as stated in the vox thread above - it seems that many of these places will lose access to birth control, education and the services as a whole (along with the results and effects last time the ‘gag rule’ was in place).

For people on the ground there it’ll be a confusing time - possibilities will have changed, leading to confusion and trust issues - and education now has limited options too.

It also seems likely that pooling resources with other countries may well be lost too.

I’m not them nor am I privy to the actual details of all this gag rule encompasses so this is just my opinion based on information I know of.

I most certainly understand the roadblocks involved. I also consider that, in this day and age, people are far more aware due to all the education that was created when such dilemmas arose overseas. Does that knowledge just disappear? Do all those who’ve learned just forget? These are questions I cannot answer but I am glad there are other avenues.

I read it - but it didn’t include the possibilites/scenarios - or effects of - that I asked.

Education is key to this (and many things in life) - a young mother may not have the education, or access to education, as someone who had better education just a few years ago. As stated, education has just changed due to re-introduction of the gag-rule.

Word of mouth is key in environments that these charities are struggling with - and highlighting. Education is always in flux - and without doubt ‘all the education that was created when such dilemmas arose’ will indeed disappear over time - or as stated above not be in-effect for say refugees, remote places, or places where there is little trust in the Govt - or corruption - or in places where the mother may not be able to admit she has been raped for fear of reprisal or social stigma etc.

If removal of the gag-rule can save more lives - and educate people to all of the possibilities - then surely that is the better outcome for those that are likely to be affected the most, no?

If it can be done in such a way so as not to negate or remove the care of the citizens whose money is used to provide it, then yes, I would agree completely. I should state that I do not believe that it should be America’s responsibility alone to provide such things. There is an entire planet of people and nations that should bare some of the weight with regards to helping out neighboring societies that might need that little extra.

Other countries provide aid too (as mentioned in the articles linked above) and many provide aid without condition of ‘gag rules’ like has just been re-introduced.

The removal of the gag rule (or full range of options or education) - is not going to cost the US more money.

I asked you about your country because you asked me about mine. You did not answer my question so I’m going to assume the answer is no unless you just forgot what I asked.

Deflection indeed.

Don’t assume - where’s the facts in that? Though why assume ‘no’?, why not ‘yes’ or a similar amount? Why not look it up?

These are rhetorical questions - you don’t have to answer them.

.

In case you are genuinely interested in the answer to your question ‘Does your country offer equal amount of assistance as America (in equal ratio to your population), in tax payer dollars, to these causes while taking proper care of it’s people at home?’

Upon entering the term ‘percentage per population for overseas aid’ into the search bar this appears top…
