I started on the Back of Phantom Menace before I have to resources for the front, I had to decrease the special features from pt. 6 to 5.5 pt. in order to fit it all. I still need to flesh out the descriptions on the features :bandance:

Nice start! :thumb:

Two things (here I go again, Arky! :P ):

Avoid widows (click here for info on widows & ophans). Decrease the kerning on the last line of your synopsis to avoid "Sith" being on a line by itself.

I realize there's a lot of Features on this one, but do you plan to use an image like Yoda on this cover? I think you should, layout consistency is important when doing a series. I know I talked you into adding descriptions to the Special Features, but you can probably edit some of them down to fit into the space you had on Empire. For instance, "The Beginning" could say "The Beginning. All-new hour-long documentary" and leave it at that. You could probably also lump some things together like "Production Gallery, Theatrical Posters, Theatrical Trailers and TV Spots."

Either way, it's a solid start and I'm excited to see more!! :D :D

So far i don't have much to add to the new cover nikerun (btw, what's your real name?), only thing i noticed was the widow but Kernie already mentioned that so... let's wait for the next update :)

EDIT: just saw the new update... much better and i like a lot the red color!

OOOHHHH.... Really like the red color!! :jump: :jump: :jump:

And nice work making room for an image!! :D :D

You don't have to, but I usually add "and More!" on my Features lists that run too long, implying there's more stuff on the disc than just what the cover says. You could put it after TV Spots if you wanted to, but I don't think it hurts the cover if you don't. :P

Another thing i noticed was the tag instead of a quote. If you wanna keep the consistency on the covers i think you need to decide between the tag and the quote. Personally i prefer the tagline.

Good point, Arky... but did the critics have anything good to say about Phantom Menace? :P :P :P

I personally don't mind the tagline though, but agree about consistency...
