Some Faces Discart… (from Rikter’s fantastic 2004-ish dvd covers disc)

These are great. I am making a set with this art style and was wondering where you got the images, and if there was a higher res set floating around out there?

There probably are some higher-res images of these somewhere out there by now - though I don’t know where, sorry!

These images are from Rikter’s awesome collection of covers and disc art - which can be found here:-

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ByfjLkYDj7bRd3A0WWFhSGNyRjQ - look for the ‘Discs’ section.

There are some good ‘how-to’s’ on youtube on how to make your own slipcases, as well as info on how to make them / a custom box set in the An Index & Help Thread for Case Covers, Disc Labels, and Fan Art.

It is also worth checking out some of the generic cover sites listed in the Index thread for alternative art for the 2011 SE blu ray releases (and there may be some quality cover art in the Index which you could use or edit as an alternative too).

Good luck with it - let us know what you come up 👍
 

Yea, the game does look intriguing - and always good to have more Star Wars games given the dearth of them in recent years.
 

I’m not 100% on this, but… Zynga apparently has a reputation for requiring a number of ‘in-game purchases’ for some of their other games - with many claiming it is almost impossible to progress or compete in them without making ongoing purchases.

a Play-to-win - pay-to-win situation 😦
 

Given there was also a big kickback vs EA a few years ago with ‘loot boxes’ in Battlefront II (and also vs Lucasfilm too for allowing it to happen) - I imagine many fans aren’t happy seeing Zynga linked with this game.

Edit:

‘Join the fight in Star Wars: Hunters, a new video game from Lucafilm and Zynga’:-

New Bounty Hunters, Rebel Heroes, and Imperials populate this competitive arean combat game coming to Nintendo Switch in 2021.

https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-hunters-game-announce
 

'If you’ve ever dreamed of competing in a galactic arena, the roar of the cheering crowd in your ears, a new Star Wars game promises to capture that spirit with all-new characters and Star Wars-inspired locations.

During today’s Nintendo Direct, Zynga and Lucasfilm Games announced Star Wars: Hunters, a competitive arena combat game coming to the Nintendo Switch system in 2021. Star Wars: Hunters will bring players together to engage in thrilling, team-based, multiplayer battles featuring a diverse array of distinctive new Star Wars characters.

Set after the fall of the Galactic Empire, Star Wars: Hunters will connect players in real time to battle in arena settings inspired by iconic Star Wars locales. Play as daring Bounty Hunters, heroes of the Rebellion, and an Imperial stormtrooper, in an action game that immerses players in fast-paced and visually stunning Star Wars conflict.

Today we got our first glimpse at some of those new faces, including a Wookiee warrior and a mysterious red lightsaber-wielding fighter, as holograms lining a graffiti-mottled hallway, which you can watch below.

“Star Wars: Hunters draws inspiration from classic Star Wars stories and settings, but with a look and feel that is different from anything we have done before,” says Douglas Reilly, VP of Lucasfilm Games. “We’re thrilled to introduce this wildly creative cast of characters to our fans on Nintendo Switch, where they can join with their friends in thrilling battles at home or on the go.”

Star Wars: Hunters will be available free to download for the Nintendo Switch, on the App Store and on Google Play later this year. Star Wars: Hunters does not require a Nintendo Switch Online membership to download and play.’

I’ll have to give these Dark Horse novels a re-read - it has been far too long. I remember enjoying the first, though for some reason never read the two sequels… (were they delayed for some reason?)

I • https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Crimson_Empire
II • https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Crimson_Empire_II:_Council_of_Blood
III • https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Crimson_Empire_III—Empire_Lost
 

Edit: ah, I refreshed my awful memory here at the Crimson Empire wiki - https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Crimson_Empire

The original comic art looked impressively enticing for all three series too…

Those loose bandages of his could be a recurring gag for how he injures himself (and others) each week.
 

I think you’ve hit gold here. Better than a lot of the stuff on Disney+ (or on tv in general)…

War of the Bounty Hunters…

'Boba Fett will take on the galaxy’s worst-

I read this as them being the worst at their jobs. Like they’re all just as bad as Boba Fett and keep tripping over and falling into holes. Now there’s a series.

Would watch 👍

Nice one, PJ - am looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I never thought I’d be that interested in watching the 1997 SE’s again, though some of the work done around here… by yourself, trillary dump, and dark_jedi back in the day etc, have intrigued me once more - thank you.

It’s very sad. This place isn’t what it used to be.

I was bored and went into some old threads. I found that this site seems to be in its third stage. Around the years 2008-2009 or so you had some original members (from 2003) complaining about how all the “old members” were gone and the place wasn’t the same. Many of them (Darthchaltab etc.) stopped posting around then, or a few years later (psychodavy). End of OT.com The Early Years.

Then TVs Frink and Duracell (among others) came along and the site (or at least the Off Topic and Film areas) was/were rejuvenated. OT.com The Next Generation

Then 10/18 happened - a whole bunch of active members got banned and other active members left in response.

Just for clarity; for anyone unfamiliar with situation at that time, and now reading this…

a ‘whole bunch of active members got banned’? It was 3 members who were banned… Collipso (who’d been here around a year), Possessed, and TV’s Frink - Detention Block AA-23 : The OT.com’s Banned Members.

10/18 didn’t just ‘happen’ - if I recall… it was a ‘final straw’ type-situation in a lengthy & ongoing state of affairs for at least one, maybe two, of the members above.
 

Then 12/20 happened - more active members (chainsawash etc.) got banned. End of The Next Generation (?)

Now I’m humming the ST:TNG theme in my head 👍

2 members were banned - Chainsaw and dahmage both announced their leaving of the site before they were banned (with continuing attacks on members / site / site staff in their ‘leaving’ posts; resulting in their bans afterwards).

Like ‘10/18’, that didn’t just ‘happen’ either.
 

The same with Duracell sometime afterwards.
 

It seems we are in the third stage of OT.com. So far it is a lot less fun.

If you feel this way then why not contribute to help make this section of the site more fun?

As others on here have said previously… many sites and forums that also now have a Discord have seen participation reduce in their Off Topic, General Discussion or The Boozer sections. The upshot seems to be the same here - the OT Discord seems to be doing well with a number of members actively participating / shooting the breeze on there - more so on there than here in The Cantina.

Maybe that’ll change again over time…
 

I am aware of the circumstances regarding the bans.

Aye, though when members on here state a ‘whole bunch of active members got banned’ or similar - a group, clan, gang, host, posse etc as others have previously stated… sometime afterwards I (and likely the other mods) receive PMs and questions sometime after asking just who was in the ‘bunch’ that were banned… and it is ‘just’ 3 members.

Which is in part why I mentioned ‘Just for clarity; for anyone unfamiliar with situation at that time, and now reading this…’

The point is that there was a ripple effect when they happened because those members drove a lot of the discussions around here and drew others into participating.

Yeah, I agree with that… to a point. Though it is also worth noting some previous members’ actions on here also resulted in others withdrawing from discussions - either from certain sections of the site, or the site altogether… something which is often overlooked or forgotten about.
 

Is discord, at least here on OT.com, mostly text chats? I prefer it to vid or voice. I kind of like to have an image of what members are like, without really knowing what they look and sound like. Does that make me a weirdo? 😃

Yes - mainly text chats (though it is easier to add videos / gifs and audio on the Discord in general, than it is on here).

We are all weirdos on here 👍 (and on the Discord too!)
 

War of the Bounty Hunters…

'Boba Fett will take on the galaxy’s worst in Marvel’s epic ‘War Of The Bounty Hunters’:-

https://www.starwars.com/news/war-of-the-bounty-hunters-exclusive
 

'Back in 2019, writer Charles Soule created a big pitch document for Marvel’s flagship Star Wars series. It outlined his plans for the title, but also included was one specific story he was itching to write.

“Boba Fett clearly doesn’t take Han Solo directly to Jabba’s palace,” Soule tells StarWars.com. “Something had to happen in between that intervening time between Empire and Jedi. And I was like, ‘I would like to tell that story, and I would like it to be about Boba Fett and what happens to him.”
 

(Lots more info and art in the linked article…)
