Hi & welcome soulflare

Those covers are most impressive - esp like the style and backs of SW & ESB - very cool.

Just lately I've noticed (mainly on sci-fi or action films) that the sound on my tv seems to jump quite high in volume when a special effect or loud scene, yet the volume when an actor is talking is quite low in comparison.

Anyone have any ideas on how this could be corrected?

^ I thought the Leia welding scene was on the TR47 set - but not on the anamorphic set?

It would be neat if the missing C3P0 tractor beam line would be included, though.

…and a strange, yet good experience it is too - seeing the opening crawl come up like that.

For me the rawer sound effects in many of the blaster and fighting scenes give it a more intense feel.

(unless it’s the tv on way out again!)

DanB - cool new version of TDC covers, m8.

Is there a version of those TDC covers with all the blue text changed to white out there? (not sure if I dreamt it or not - and if I did dream it I need to take a break from SW for a while

)

I think Sir Alec resented that a lot people from the 1980's onwards only really associated him with the Star Wars films - and was the major topic of converstion whenever a fan met and talked to him.

This is a man who has a lifetime of distinguised acting work - from the Ealing comedies (which I urge anyone to watch for his comedial timing and delivery), to Kafka, A Passage To India, Laurence Of Arabia, Cromwell, Bridge On The River Kwai and Tinker, Talior, Soldier Spy to name but a few.

No probs m8 - was a great idea of snooy47

Before I came across his idea I once went around the in-laws to use their cool printer - though they had Photoshop, a program I'd never used before - I was used to Paint Shop Pro) - it took me hours and fair few mistken print-out trying to size them up correctly...

cost me a few bottles of good wine as a thank you to them, that did

Maybe Luke missed a trick in ROTJ - he should have sent a hologram of Leia instead, I'm sure Jabba would have been more receptive...

Cheers for sharing m8.

It's a pretty good way for those with cover art to show what they have in their collection.

Would certainly be cool to see all of the covers, inserts and disart / disc labels from ppl like Rikter, Cerbero, DanB, Lars and others who done so much work on their covers.

Nice one.

^ nice one.

Some very cool covers there m8.

The OT inserts look well sound.

I'm not sure if it's possible to download the pics from there, though.

Thanks for sharing - you may get more of a response if you post them in a seperate thread...

^ You'll need to upload the picture to a website or someone's webspace for the pics - perhaps posting a link to the art may be easier?

I tihnk you can get some webspace free at places like http://www.freewebpage.org

Intriguing info, Bossk m8.

Could it actually happen? Eps 7-9? I suppose the OT actors are old enough to carry on the story 30 years on...

or could it be a smokescreen for another different venture - ie the rumoured tv series?

Hi & welcome wainsco

Sorry m8 - I didn't know there was a later version with the restored missing footage.

Try contacting Laserman or Rikter for the serial numbers - I think they may have the laserdiscs.

Rik m8

Start up Word so it's on a new blank page.

click on File, and then Page Setup, click Paper Size and tick the Landscape box, press OK.

now click on File, then Page Setup, and click on Margins. adjust the margins to 3mm on all sides - this will fit even the 4-disc dvd covers.

click on Insert (top row of commands), and then Picture - scroll onto and click 'From File' - search for the pic you wish to print (or save in word format). Once you've found it click Insert, wait a few seconds for it to copy itself over and then click on File, and then Save As... or Print Preview or whatever you are gonna do to it.

You're right about the new look of their bbs - very strange and unappealing.
