The GTF site certainly does have the potential to be a competent all-in-one source for basic DVD release info, hope it makes it there!

Indeed. It's kinda like the entire anime sub vs. dub thing. I've found that I seem to subconsciously prefer the first version I see, whether or not it's subbed or dubbed most of the time. The exceptions are Cowboy Bebop and Princess Mononoke, both of which I saw dubbed first. When I first saw Mononoke in theatres in 1999 (its American debut) it was dubbed, but then I immediately D/Led a crappy-res LD-rip RealVideo fansub of it and watched it to death. To this day I can still remember the subtitle variations between the official DVD and the fansub script(s)...

As far as I know, most shows that are on DVD in 16:9 are broadcast on SDTV (i.e. regular TV) in 4:3 with the sides chopped off or perhaps pan/scanned.

Here's a set that I made a set based off of original poster images... "Hasn't everyone and their mother done that?" you ask? Well, my set uses posters that haven't been used before! On top of that, instead of screencaps of the movies, I decided to use Ralph McQuarrie's concept art on the back cover. However I can't claim that the designs are completely mine; some portions of the covers were based off of the THX, EditDroid, and Fatboy covers. Still, I think they're original (or original enough) and a worthwhile download...

ANH based on the Hildebrandt Style-B Poster:

ESB based on the International Poster:

ROTJ based on the 1985 Rerelease Poster...

I had to compress them to get under the 1MB/image limit at Imageshack, but I'm going to get the original PNGs to Rikter for the Cover Torrent 2.0. Still, please let me know what you think of them!!!

Agreed. No OAR (original aspect ratio) = no download.

I'm making a cool set of DVD covers using poster art that hasn't been used to death in others' versions (SW B, ESB Int'l, ROTJ 85) but I haven't been able to find a decent version of the Empire Strikes Back international black-background poster.

Does anyone have a decent (~1000 pixel) scan of it that I can use? If you can manage to find the 14" x 36" insert version, that would be even better because less of the art is covered up by the logo...

Thanks!

No, the official DVD release is far from complete. It's even less complete than the official Droids DVD release...

Don't worry about sub-par (for even for DVD-R) quality. The only extant versions of the Ewoks series that I know of are ~70MB/ep 352x240 DivX3 VHS-rip encodes.

There is NO WAY that Star Wars was put out on home video at any point in the 1970s. None.

Very nice, good call on the K.I.S.S. approach. One question though: Would the ROTJ cover look better with the other poster art (the one with the "metal-bikini Leia") or am I off-base here?
