Here's what I have for prolly the best SW movie to date...

Still need to add some bad guys' space ships on the back, and work on image adjustments.


Question - does the stylized front scene work? I have a pic of same scene (lesser resolution, and with a bad stance for Luke) to use instead. But this scene is what the movie is all about. Finally Luke (almost Jedi) stands up to his *SPOILER* father...

This is going to be a great addition to the collection, but I am unsure about the silhouette image on the front. It doesn't tie in with the rest of the cover series.

'Twas my thought, why I asked. I'll see about the other image. Also have another Yoda I want to try on the back.

I agree about the silhouettes and about Yoda, maybe just swap him and R2D2? that way the saber won't be affected by Luke? Ps, I've never watched any Star Wars movies so if i butcher a name or two, please don't kill me :)

Swapped Yoda and R2D2, thanks.

I think I'll try something different on the front. This is worse, lol :eek: The angle thephoto is taken takes away details from Luke's stance makes one of his lower legs seem twice as long as the other, haha

For me, the issue with the silhouette images are the consistency across the collection. All of your other covers have images of the characters, and not silhouettes.

Welcome to Hoth!

So a very different direction - at least on the front. I think this is better. Hope you like it too!

I like it, quite different but i think somehow a little bit of the colours to match the back would help? In the background? Crikey, if you keep these up i might hjust have to start watching all this Star Wars stuff (quite a bit that I have never seen and what I have was a long time ago)
