I thought this would be pretty easy google search, but it turned out that it is not…

I’m trying to find hi-res photo of Luke holding his lightsabre from ROTJ , at least from waist up and preferably on dark background: throne room would be perfect, endor could do, but sail barge rather not - light background. Or even studio shot would be ok.

Can anyone share something?

Thanks for help.

Finally got my hands on 1997 ESB in HD. Thanks to trillary dump for the movie reconstruction!

So that I’ve made my cover based on 1997 VHS. Gold and Silver version…

That cover looks amazing dude! You planning on making them for ANH and ROTJ?

Hey! Thanks…Not sure. I certainly have no interest in SE of the other episodes, but I always loved the look of the 1997 VHSs. Cool&classic designs with great Struzan. So, maybe I will some day.

Merry Christmas to all,

Thanks for answer.

What’s funny to me is people complained that TFA played it too safe, now this did the opposite of that and people are still complaining.

you can say that pretty much on everything when saying just “people” is enough for you. you may be surprised but people as a group tend to have contradictionary opinions.

So since it’s already been said, why not just say nothing at all? It’s been said here over and over anyway so it’s adding nothing new.

right…lets close this thread

Unless TLJ & Ep. IX prove so stellar that they make up for its flaws and elevate it above itself, I’ll likely never watch TFA again. Still, my desire to rewatch TFA is greater than my desire to read the same warmed-over anti-TFA diatribe over-and-over again.

A friendly bit of advice: If your argument includes mentions of “fan service” and “Mary Sue”, it’s safe to say it’s all been said before, hence you can spare yourself the effort of saying it again.

friendly advice: you should get used to it, because you will hear it a lot, because besides “fan service” there is really nothing significant to say about this movie. seriously, poster for tfa should be in encyclopedias right next to the term “fan service”, because you really cant find better example

I just don’t understand why some people want to change people’s opinion or belittle them for difference of opinion.
I don’t like TFA but anybody who does is just fine.

i am evil. don’t you see?

Also…

Some people: WHY ARE ALL THE STAR WARS CHARACTERS IN A STAR WARS MOVIE?!?!?!!???
Other people; WHY WAS LUKE BARELY IN THE MOVIE!?!!???!!?
Me: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you somehow didnt get my point - that people seem to have pink glasses filled with nostalgia tears

so you liked the movie because of the characters? like marey sue? or hux’s cringy speech to apathetic stormtroopers. and can you tell me which part of snoke’s character did you like the most? and i dont blame you that you dont like maz kanata. i barely remember her too…did you also like the map to luke skywalker? why do you need a map for a space that is filled with 99,99% of vacuum anyway? with dotted line from one side of the galaxy to the other? what about just coordinates? or that it allegedly didnt match any known charted system while it was segment as big as third of the galaxy…does even anything make sense in this movie?

take away all the callbacks, references, rip-offs, fan service, han&leia&luke&chewie&falcon, all the iconic designs and ideas they came up with in 1977…and tell me what will left of this movie?

i love the apologetic phrase that they “played safe”. they didnt play safe, they played plain stupid. how could they have thought that there is even someone who doesnt know the original trilogy so that he has to be introduced to the stuff everybody know? you have star wars references everywhere. and even if there is some hermit who doesnt know star wars, he wouldnt care about new stuff if he doesnt know the old one. if it was solid good, everyone would accept it…but first and foremost there are milions of fans who will not forgive you that you are showing them rebels running from the empire, death star blowing up another planet, trench run, droid with very important plans etc. all over again. i just cant comprehend that there are even people who defend this stupidity as “playing safe”

and i am really really sad that with all those spin-offs and animated series on the way i will most probably see rebels and empire beating their heads up to episode 9 all over again…

these look great. very classy…yes. please post stuff for printing

These are done. Did two versions for VII - one with, and one without the Roman numerals.

wow. i love that leyendecker-style poster!

I made dvd labels, originally intended for MaximRecoil’s 1984 vhs set (hope he doesn’t mind). I just wanted something more than simple text despite it is classic. So i used his typeset recreation (with tiny tweak) and put some background images there.

…if anyone’s interested i’ll put links for hi-res

If anyone has any covers by the superb ‘Coov’, ‘Ell the Ewok’, ‘DarkJedi’, ‘ReverendBeastly’, ‘Darth Solo’, ‘Yoda Is Your Father’, ‘FusionAddict’ and ‘Yourfriendkaysar’ please post them up - along with any other decent sets/covers/discs/inserts etc by anyone else on here - it’d be a shame if their quality covers and art were lost over time (and to old broken/deleted links and obsolete photo servers etc)…

.

second that…and thanks for the pics and links oojason!

great! thanks for them…good stuff should flow
