So, trying to get these done...
Here is what I have for the origin story of Han Solo.
A little surprised this got a 4 star review on Empire, since SW: ROS ony got 3 stars. This is in my not so humble opinion the weakest of the stand-not-so-alone movies. But I guess the Millenium Falcon is the real star of the show, and carries some love with it, lol

Still some things to do:
- Need to refine the cutouts on the back characters; only Han Solo done. Also need to adjust the images to better fit eachother (curves/contrast/saturation)
- Need to find out and add time relevant spaceships
- I still LOATH to cut out wookies!!!! :eek:

Not sure about Chewie on the front, even tho he was cut out from the same poster as Han (Harrison Ford/Alden Ehrenreich for non SW fans). Seems to be a little more Struzan-styled drawn than Han for some reason. Will he work? I could maybe try and find Lando in same style, and have him on the front as a third character (and delete him from the back, giving it a little more breathing room)

How does this work?

I think it's looking really good so far. I'd keep the characters you've chosen atm as for me they seem to fit well. I don't notice any difference in styles :)

Update:

- Cut outs done.
- Spaced out Chewie and Han on the front.

- Tried TT in purple, but then I would have to go purple on legal/credits/logos and reverse the color of synopsis to keep with earlier covers in the collection. Think I will keep as is.

- Now to do my research on time relevant spaceships; maybe also try to find the train they're robbing to add to the front background (fingers crossed). May have to rewatch it (ugh) to get some ideas of elements to add.

Just wanted to show the purple. Would fit with Ahsoka/kenobi/Mandalorian style - and set it aside from I-IX collected covers.

What do you think?
