Jay 37,336 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I have no idea. The covers Sony gave us in 2016 (the actual OST LP covers) were terrific, and the reissues by Disney last year were perfectly fine too. I get wanting something "new" for these "new" remasters, but what they went with was..... extremely lazy. And ugly.

Wojo 2,453 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I like the covers. I would think the one for Episode IV should have a variant in yellow without "A New Hope" in between, but that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,514 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 It just feels generic to me, Trajan at least has some character.

John 2,032 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Here are my recommendations for the planets on each cover: Episode I - Naboo Episode II - Coruscant Episode III - Mustafar Episode IV - Tatooine Rogue One - Scarif Episode V - Hoth Episode VI - Moon of Endor, with Death Star II visible in orbit.

emiwan2 25 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Thank you for all your kind comments. This project is WIP so I will do alternative covers based on your recomendations I know that ROTJ doesnt' work that well, I like the idea of Death Star 2 with Endor moon in orbit, I'll try. Regarding Corsucant, I know that the planet plays a big role in all 3 prequels, but I think personnally that it really has kinda "adventure role" in AOTC more than in ROTS. I'll try with Geonosis anyway. If someone has a good pic for Naboo, I take, because mine is kinda poor in resolution... For Solo : It could be Corellia but I think Kessel will likely be interesting to work with, due the acid hues of the planet (as we can see in the trailer) : I really like the look of it.

I think the RotJ idea is nice. I agree with Coruscant having that role in AotC, although Kamino might be interesting, since it's part of the whole clone army mystery which a lot of AotC revolves around. Plus it would be a different look than a desert Geonosis or industrial Coruscant. TPM is a tough one because Naboo looks so much like earth, but the only other option, Tatooine, makes more sense for ANH. For Solo, go with whatever planet looks the best. So yeah, Kessel looks neat. I think of Rogue One how cool Wobani and Eadu look, and even though they have smaller parts in the movie than Jedha and Scarif, I would certainly buy a CD with cover art like that. Again, you have to think about the planet that is used alot in the movie, but also about the visual appearance. Keep up the great work!!! emiwan2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Has anyone ever thought of doing a ship that relates to each episode. I like the planet ideas here, but what about ships. TPM could be the Naboo Cruiser AotC could be (for lack of a better one) Jango's Slave I or a clone carrier? RotS could be the fighters Obi Wan and Anakin use at the beginning? Rogue One could be the imperial ship that Rogue One used to land on Scarif. A New Hope could be the sand crawler,the falcon, or the land speeder. Even a TIE Fighter or star destroyer. X wing. Empire could be the walkers-even though they are land based. RotJ could be Shuttle Tydirium TFA could be X wing or falcon again. TLJ could be the supremacy. Looking back it is hard for some episodes to find a good one, but just an idea. emiwan2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
