(word to those spookies! 😉)
and
The very talented JMoomer has some similar superb Criterion style covers here - http://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/974732 & http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-Despecialized-Editions-Custom-Bluray-Set/id/49995/page/20
Definitely worth checking out his other top work too (I think he also knocked up some matching disc art for the set below as well?)
.
No, no. There is a modicum of stupidity involved. There have been so many unfinished Criterion-esque covers that I thought I’d create some unfinished ones of my own. I’m still tweaking them, plus I won’t consider them final until the cases arrive and the test prints look correct. Because the two-disc Criterion cases were sold out on Casetopia, I opted for three-disc sets as well. But unlike njvc, my third disc is the grindhouse version of each. At the moment, I have two designs of each because I like reversible covers, though for Jedi, I may replace the droids cover with non-reversible Ewoks that are revealed when discs are removed (TBD when the cases arrive). Of course, someone can use just one cover and use whatever interior artwork they fancy.
These aren’t done yet in my eyes. I’m open to friendly, supportive, nurturing opinions (and proofreading!) because I just do this for fun. Please don’t ruin my fun.
Also, I initially started out making the discs thematically the same as if they all came as a set, but I got bored of that rather quickly. Instead, each disc is meant to stand on its own.
Enjoy.
EDIT - June 2017 : photobucket.com have been really annoying and have recently stopped 3rd party hosting - so many of the links for covers on the next few pages (pages 176 to 180) are now broken… (and I’m unwilling to pay the seemingly exorbitant $399 a year for the links to be to work again).
However, if you click on the ‘link’ below each picture - it will still take you to the cover / art etc to view and download.
Fortunately all the covers posted are also stored on Mega - which is free and easy to use and download:-
https://mega.nz/folder/JfUTwACb#F-B4a_-oJrLTbP7h0KHw8Q
I’ve managed to get 99.7% of Rikter’s superb Cover Collection disc (from around 2004 - 1.45gb) - and have uploaded it to a goodle drive, here - https://mega.nz/folder/0PFRzYpC#DLtVxS3gT3ikn67Qo5SbVw
Anyone using that link should be able to view and download any of the files on there if they wish.
Some of the dvd covers, disc art and inserts will be posted below and in a few posts to come over the next page or two - I hope they come in use, or inspire some other great people on here at ot.com to do their own covers etc…
If anyone has any covers by the superb ‘Coov’, ‘Ell the Ewok’, ‘DarkJedi’, ‘ReverendBeastly’, ‘Darth Solo’, ‘Yoda Is Your Father’, ‘FusionAddict’, ‘Chainsaw Ash’, ‘Hotrod’, ‘boris’, ‘EyeShotFirst’, ‘Falle’, ‘cerbero’, ‘AVP’, ‘Spyderbyte’, ‘Imrahil’, ‘ThrowgnCpr’ and ‘Yourfriendkaysar’ please post them up - along with any other decent sets/covers/discs/inserts etc by anyone else on here - it’d be a shame if their quality covers and art were lost over time (and to old broken/deleted links and obsolete photo servers etc)…
In no particular order…
^ cheers mate 😃

They are blu-ray size - but shouldn’t be too difficult to resize for use as dvd covers…
i think this is a great thread! a lot of you have been saying that you print your discs with a canon pixma printer, but i am not sure what pixma printer is the best/actually prints on a disc. could someone please point me in the right direction?
A good friend lets me print dvds on her Canon Pixma iP7250 printer - am very happy with the results. It is just a printer though - no scanning or copying.
My old Epson Stylus R300 Printer still does a good job for printing to discs - despite being around 10 years old (it’s just out of ink - inksaver covers are the future 😉).
Good thing to remember when purchasing printers - the cost of the ink. Printer manufacturers make their money from the ink they sell - and hardly make any money on the actual printers
(this is why some printers seem flimsy, don’t have a good ‘build quality’ or decent components inside - and can be problematic when things go wrong - when compared to printers a from a few years ago).
So always remember to factor in how much the ink will cost for the printer you are thinking of buying…
These are quite old covers and discart - there may well be some more modern ones out there on google images and the like…

Found these 4 great old dvd covers by the talented sluggo - may be of use to someone who likes the Faces sets…
Nostalgic.
Indeed mate 😃
I found some more MagnoliaFan dvd covers - these may be of interest to you… 😉
Think I’ll go for the $13 one you linked first, you think you could adjust the size of the new “Faces” one you uploaded that has “The Despecialized Edition” on the bottom? I’m sorry for asking and I hope I’m not being too much of a bother.
Are these ok mate?
Both covers below are 9.5cm x 7cm - which should fit that usb box - though if it needs adjusting let me know, or if you want the .png files just PM me and I’ll send them you.

No bother at all mate - let me know the dimensions of the photo sleeve on that USB box (it may be best to wait until it arrives, then cut up a piece of paper that fits snugly in there - just to get the measurements spot on) and I’ll re-size the Faces covers for you.
It’s surprising how expensive these little usb boxes are - maybe because they are still not very common the manufacturing costs are higher than expected? Also, as soon as the word ‘wedding’ is mentioned in relation to them being used by wedding photographers the price goes up even further…
Maybe local jewellery shops will have something similar/useful in?
If anyone does find some cheaper usb boxes available to buy please let us know - especially if it is something like these below…
http://www.starwars.com/news/a-statement-regarding-new-rumors
"We don’t normally respond to fan or press speculation, but there is a rumor circulating that we would like to address. We want to assure our fans that Lucasfilm has no plans to digitally recreate Carrie Fisher’s performance as Princess or General Leia Organa.
Carrie Fisher was, is, and always will be a part of the Lucasfilm family. She was our princess, our general, and more importantly, our friend. We are still hurting from her loss. We cherish her memory and legacy as Princess Leia, and will always strive to honor everything she gave to Star Wars."
That’s some fantastic work all around Stealthboy - nice one 😃
Loving the “Faces” inspired covers man! Maybe it’s strange but I just prefer these versions as the 1995 set was the one I was exposed to as a kid by my parents (more my mom than my dad as see saw the original Star Wars in '77).
I’m having trouble tracking down a usb box though as the ones linked to don’t ship to the states sadly 😦
No worries mate, glad you liked them - though a shame that company doesn’t ship to the US 😦
These do a similar usb box - https://www.amazon.com/Elite-Flash-Drive-Box-Photo/dp/B00FS0SKYA for $13 delivered.

Could any kind person please let me know which font is used for the ‘WIDESCREEN EDITION’ text just above the Star Wars logo on doublex776 / crissrudd4554 superb dvd cover below, please?
Edit - found out it is the ‘Bank Gothic’ font 😃
I’d just like to try knocking up a version of that that reads ‘DESPECIALIZED EDITION’ in the same font for a Faces-based usb boxset cover
many thanks 😃

It does look better on a dvd case than on here (honest) - even when printed in ‘draft quality’ settings on some cheap semi-glossy photo paper…
As before, it should be quite easy to cannibalise or resize for other size covers etc - and for those of us stingy inksavers out there 😉

^ That’s a fantastic quality dvd boxset there mate, and a top idea for a dedicated Boxset Thread too 😃
Some of the work that has gone into the DeSpecialized boxset covers alone are amazing - ronwlim, one69chev, FrankT, phildesfr, detola, G E Predator, Starwhore, natedeug, EyeShotFirst, RoccondilRinon, tommyauck, Mjvmovieman, The Aluminum Falcon, coov, Stealthboy, Morsoth, crpl_hicks, Spheretronic, Harmy himself and anyone else who I’ve forgotten to mention (many apologies) - all quality endeavours.
My box set is not quite a dvd cover…
Thought I’d knock up (cannibalise off the superbly talented ronwlim and other folks on here) a very simple USB Box Cover for my Harmy DeSpecialised set…
^ The USB Box above cost £8.95 + delivery, from here:-
(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 😃
(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 😉)
^ big thanks to Carbonite Solo for the The Last Jedi logo 😃
The artwork above (and below) can also be found on a googledrive here:-

Please feel free to view, download, edit and vastly improve upon any of it 😃
I like this idea of a USB cover! Can you do one for the 1995 version of the trilogy? I always did prefer the “Faces” set.
Nice one - I’ll try my best (I’m not very good at this lark), and am a little busy right now, but will give it a shot in the next day or so…
.
The good thing with the usb covers is that you can put any image 8.5cm x 8cm in 😃
(^ or whatever size the usb picture sleeve is. The cheaper usb boxes without the photo sleeve would probably look decent with a sticker on too.)
Thanks for the kind words. Inksaver for the win; looks great.
Cheers mate - nice one - and thank you for that great Bonus Materials cover from your Harmy DeSpecialized boxset 😃
