You mean change the Reylo death star fight to something else?

I've updated my blog today, so now you can have an extended look at the full size versions of all TROS covers (and a few others). Here are the links:

So although I said earlier that I totally absolutely wouldn't do it (no fucking way!).... well I totally absolutely did it and remade that damn IMAX theatre stand art (with minor edits).

Feel free to use it for your projects:

DUDE I saw this collection you made some time ago and loved it! Can I ask you to make a small change in the A New Hope one? Justo to make it say "A New Hope" in the same style as the other titles in the collection :v

Let us know what you thought of the film when you come back, I'm STARVING for opinions of people that are not blinded by pointless rage and hate.

My feelings towards the film are mixed... although I hope it grows with repeated viewings.

Here's a bunch of retroesqe artworks for the whole trilogy. TFA artwork by Struzan, all other ones by maestro Paul Shipper.

tintacle · December 18, 2019

I've made this TFA cover years ago:

I can of course try to come up with matching designs for all other episodes, but not today, because I'm about to leave to watch THE RISE OF SKYWALKEEEEEER!!! :woop:

Oh, but ~~here's a quickie~~ here are two quickies before I'm off:

Do it, it's probably your last chance

December 17, 2019

I'm afraid blue won't save it

JJ clearly hasn't thought about logo design when he pitched that title

Pieter Boelen · December 17, 2019

Fucking hell! I just spent 1.5 hours creating ROTS custom logos before I noticed my mistake...

December 17, 2019

lol, good one ROTFLMAO

Took a jab at the Target Exclusives myself...

Rise of Skywalker is obviously just a temporary placeholder until I get hold of a hi-res version.

I love the emboss effect you did on the outline. It makes the logo pop out even more

It will be interesting to see what Disney does with the inevitable 9 Expanded Soundtracks, because there clearly needs to be a symmetry with the cover art across all 9, but they can't be too simplistic or they'll look the same as existing releases (like all the remastered OSTs and the 3 ST OSTs).

I generally think simpler is better with Star Wars, simply because the variety of artwork produced for the 9 films varies so greatly due to the changing design trends in which the films were marketed. You can't really have a release of ESB with that original artwork paired with TROS and its theatrical artwork, the difference is just too stark. Perhaps whatever they do for the 4K releases next year will hint at the expanded score artwork?

If Disney strives for uniformity, and they will (for economic reasons... not for aesthetic ones), then we will be "delighted" with something like that, I'm fairly sure:

Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum (I actually just found it), so I'm sorry if I'm doing something wrong, I don't know how to post images here :'D

This is also the first time I ever show any custom cover I made on the internet lol.

I have been always a fan of custom soundtrack covers, especially Star Wars ones. And recently I got the extended editions of the prequel OSTs and the complete scores of the Original Trilogy. I didn't really like the covers on those ones because they were mostly inconsistent, but the one I really loved was the Episode III cover with mustafar. I liked it so much that I decided to try to make similar covers to the other movies, and this is what I came up with. (actually I just saw here that people already posted covers with planets, I swear I didn't steal your ideas guys :p)

My original plan was to have Tatooine on A New Hope and Naboo on The Phantom Menace but I couldn't find any good Naboo image that fit with the rest of the planets, so I decided to have Tatooine on Ep. I and Yavin on Ep. IV.

(It kinda bugs me that 4 has the Yavin planet but the scenes take place on the Moon, but 6 has the Forest Moon of Endor instead of the actual planet Endor, so sorry about that :v)

Keep posting more of your covers, because these are really good! You've got a sense for details, man.

I recently stumbled upon the Japan Edition of TRoS:

And I decided to remake it in square format:

And then I decided I'd do the same for The Last Jedi, yet with a few subtle differences compared to the official design:

And because I was already rolling along, I sat down for another hour or so to come up with a fitting custom cover for The Force Awakens as well:

This one was tricky, Photoshop action was rather extensive as I had to move around quite a lot of elements. But it makes me happy to see a full trilogy of Japanese Editions. And I'm now I'm thinking about OT and PT versions already...

There never was and official one. The only one I've ever seen is the one I made in 2017.

Well, it speaks for you that I used to think it was official.

Just to clarify, was there ever an official "Target" style logo released for TLJ? I thought it was a fan-made effort.

I thought so, but now I'm not sure anymore

Thanks, but the one you posted is expectedly much better than my attempt. It helps that they had a full face version of the Kylo Ren image to work with, the cropped one from the poster was a headache.

I'm looking forward to your updated Star Wars section on your site! I'm sure we've only seen a hint of what you have in store

Aaaah, don't stress me My TROS collection is rather small compared to previous efforts. I wanted to publish a new blog post next week, but haven't written a single word for it. I really have to get going! But I certainly won't go into the pain of recreating the official "Target" design from above, only to see the original being released a couple days later. Been there, done that.

crumbs · December 10, 2019

Well I mistook it for an official design so don't be too hard on yourself, eh

All I have is the low res image below, which is actually a photo from an official cardboard stand-up for cinemas.

So an official design exists. I'm waiting for a high res version to pop up somewhere.

December 10, 2019

Nice one JTWFan! Is this "Target" design finally out officially or did you make it yourself?

Cerebral Cortex · December 8, 2019

uh nice...!

Seems like Paul Shippper made some last minute changes too

November 29, 2019

What? no one's coming in full stormtrooper gear?

November 28, 2019

Not as far as I know. For the orchestra yes, sure. For the audience however they say something like "come in something you feel comfortable in"

November 28, 2019

I still don't plan wearing a suit.

November 27, 2019

Great, thanks guys!

Do you prefer it to the 2nd version?

November 26, 2019

what do you mean with 'matching ones' ?

Ricard · November 26, 2019

Based on the promo (merchandise?) poster, which I really like btw.
