Intriguing - especially the Emperor's claim that he will 'rediscover' the power to stop people dying - I though that he ALREADY knew how to do this and was using the premise of him and Anakin uniting to bring him to the Dark Side.

I'm off to view Ep3 again...

^ nice pic, Ric - I am now rather disturbed...

Bessie the mule:-

A farmer named Clyde had a car accident. In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer was questioning Clyde.
"Didn't you say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine.'," asked the lawyer.
Clyde responded, "Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule, Bessie, into the..."
I didn't ask for any details", the lawyer interrupted. "Just answer the question? Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'?"

Clyde said, "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road...."
The lawyer interrupted again and said, "Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now, several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question."

By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Clyde's answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule, Bessie".

Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded, "Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side.

I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting, real bad and didn't want to move. However, I could hear ole Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans.

Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene.
He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes.

Then the Patrolman came across the road, gun in hand, looked at me, and said "How are you feeling?"

"Now what the hell would you say?"

I have come to the conclusion that Rikter owns some sort of TARDIS that enables him to collect all this stuff, watch it, torrent it, make covers, answer questions and help people out, send it out and then have a busy normal family life

Cool list, Rik m8

Sweetmeats

There is an awsome guide on everything dvd and discart related on how to create, size and print them correctly - there's a fair chance of it being somewhere amongst these very 50+ odd pages in this thread. IIRC it may have been Rikter who posted the guide, though this was a long, long time ago...

PapaVader - nice work, I really like the drawn style of pics on the front cover (similar to Spidernap's MagnoliaFan covers) - and the lack of black ink used there is always a bonus when printing

Saw Episode 3 at the cinema for the 1st time yesterday - can only say that as before with the Prequel Trilogy - while some segments of the film were great - others left much to be desired, esp some of the dialogue.

Magnolia - we patiently await your Ep3 Edit...

sorry for the delay with an answer, Hoichi.

Rikter has a dvd full of covers, discart and inserts you can get hold of. He also has a bittorrent file of covers that you can download.

IIRC - means ‘if I recall correctly’

Rikter has a website here:-

good stuff m8 - the more I look at the backs of those covers the better they look - such a simple yet effective design, not cluttered, yet it has all the info you'd ever need, and is instantly recognisable from other covers.

Great set of 8 pictures for each film too.

Hi THX - if you want to display your covers where ppl can also download them then try Grisan's superb covers site:-

http://home.pages.at/grisan/

or getting in contact with Rikter and adding them to his bittorrents or dvd collection

Very cool Holiday Special cover m8
