Definitely sends a message.

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

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 ā€˜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 ā€œcleanā€ template?

It’s not exact, but this is from something I knocked up in the ā€˜dvd cover’ thread a few weeks ago…

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?)

Ā 

Could be a lot of work to make it happen - but also a welcome challenge for someone out there 😃

Someone who does Reddit ask him what what version of Star Wars he saw in 4K!

and does a cut of Rogue One before the re-shoots still exist - and does he think it likely it’ll ever get released?

(or can we pop around his place sometime and watch his pre-re-shoot cut of it?)

Do we even know if there’s a complete cut of some alternate story?

I’m guessing there is a cut of the film that was completed (or near-on completed) - before the re-shoots were ordered.
