good call charlie

I don't ever recall seeing a Prequel Trilogy only cover here at all.

AbsoluteDestiny has been kind enough send me his file on his OT cover - posted a page or 2 back - and from that I'm hoping to come with something for the Prequel Trilogy.

Be warned though, my skills are extremely limited, and it will be a basic looking inksaver (predominantly white) cover.

Hopefully one of the very skilled lads and laddesses on here will also knock something up too...

Flash Gordon (1980 version)

"I love you Flash - but we only have 14 hours to save the Earth!" almost Lucas-like

although it did give us a marvellous performance from Brian Blessed as Vultan "Gordon's Alive!!!" and a stomping Themtune

Second thoughts - I'll be the accountant

Britain still has no extradition teaties with Brazil, does it Ric?

More shocking songs that make it my ears...

Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up' and the Jan Hammer's 'Miami Vice Theme'

though I am a child of the '80s and am therefore a sucker for a mean drumbeat or synth based track

Hi Russ - the 1994 fullscreen ROTJ cover is one that’s not seen too often - I don’t think I’ve ever seen that one before.

Good luck with the rest of the project m8 - the more PAL goodness being backed up forever, the better

If you need any help on info for the UK releases try the bbfc.co.uk website - they are surprisingly friendly lot for a bunch of censors - and have vast info on every film released in UK cinemas AND on tape.

2025 Edit: a couple of UK ex-rental tapes for Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi were recently digitise and made available…

Definately m8 - I do wonder over time if scenes from the Prequels will be thought of in the same way?

On a different level as a teenage lad the Leia bikini scenes from ROTJ sort of stick in the memory

From what I understand (had a Genesis not the SNES) but Super ESB is considered one of the 3 hardest games ever made. EVER.

Care to list the other 2 you’re thinking of mate?

Is one of them Jet Set Willy on the commodore64 or spectrum? I spent hours, if not days, as a kid trying to complete that - only to enter a room ‘wrong’ and lose all my lives. A little frustrating in that it took around 5 hours to complete the game - and no saves or time to rest etc…

As for the Super Star Wars series - bloody difficult but do remember them as highly addictive games 😃

C’mon people, it’s time to own up and admit just how bad some of your secret musical tastes are…

I’ll go with 2 for starters:-

Bananarama’s ‘Cruel Summer’ - typical '80’s crap thunk poptune

William Shatner’s ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’ - just so cringeworthy awful I enjoy listening to it

Wasting a couple of hours and few £s in the cinema on a very forgettable fimlm - and then they'd like us to part with more time and cash for a Director's Cut?

Enough of this crap. No more double dipping or whatever the term is.

"I agree... mostly. You have reinforced my point that the three "great" SW films are ROTS, ANH, and ESB, while the threee that "lack" are TPM, AOTC, and ROTJ. What I hate, though, are those kids who love the PT, but don't care for the OT. Those people really piss me off, because it's obvious that they only like them for the "cool" effects and flashy scenes, and couldn't care less about the story..."

^ they will grow up - and possibly appreciate the OT characters and their interaction more, along with picking up on things they missed out when they were younger whilst looking at 'kewell' explosions & creatures... (shudders)

any chance of a 'prequel trilogy' cover - or perhaps a six disc 'complete saga' cover in the same style?

^ aye, that's one of the few annoyances with trying to get covers for the various Sci-Fi / Star Wars stuff - many people (understandably) use black for designing their covers.

It's a conspiracy with the printer ink companies, I tell ya!

If you wish to see some metallic SW boxes with artwork on, then this is the place for you m8, and he MAY even be able to help you out with an exclusive set:-

Many people here have expressed the same kind of feelings as I had when watching TPM for the 1st time, however I would say, on the plus side I was impressed with Liam Neeson's portrayal of Qui-Gonn, and the lightsabre fight bewteen him, Maul and Obi-Wan, along with the promise McGregor showed as Kenobi, but that was almost it.

However, I do remember thinking 'is this it?', 'is this the best that GL and his people could come up with'?

With thanks to the Phantom Editor, MagnoliaFan and ADigitalMan (along with many others) I can now watch them enjoy it - there was a decent/good film in there - somewhere. In a way it is pretty damning of LucasFilm that the editing and pacing was so 'off' and overdrawn that a few fans with imagination and some cheap software made it feel more like Star Wars than LucasFilm could.
