David Vincent 8 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 David, that's rather nicely done! How did you put the star wars logo on the picture without covering the underlying painting?Thank you MSM.Using Paint Shop Pro, I have worked on the high resolution poster and deleted all the text. That was the hardest part of the work, especially for the EPISODE III logo.Then, I donwloaded the Star Wars logo used on the two first albums on Internet, probably this one : and made a transparent paste to delete the black background.I also used the correct font, added the black contours around the Star Wars logo and you get the result.The highest resolution I made is 1785x1785 [412kb], I have also a 800x800, a 400x400 and a 200x200 versions.

I love that cover!I just downloaded the 1785x1785 version...if the OST will not have this cover, I think I'm gonna print this one and put on the jewel case instead of the original one!

King Mark 3,626 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 If they have to put Vader,he has to be even more huge but faded into the background,so that only his eyes loom over the rest of the bunch,so it matches the TPM poster with the Darth Maul eyes.also whatever original poster that Vader belongs to,I think Drew should have used a picture reference from RotS and nit from Star Wars.That bothers me the most.I mean,doesn't Lucasfilm know by now that most of the SW fans are internet geeks who will figure all this photoshop editing crap out within minutes that it is shown online?Who is he trying to fool?K.M.

orrakul 0 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Yes, the first poster is definitely the best. When Star Wars (Ep. 4) was released, George Lucas was likely much more idealistic; this was evidenced in the poster and the film itself. I wish I could like the new Star Wars films as much as I did the original 3 - but they, like George Lucas, are just very cold, calculated and corporate. Has George Lucas become Darth Vader?

H2OProof 2 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 But the DVmask asymmetrical on the poster is very ugly I think.Yeah, it should be in the centre, like it is in the ESB poster. Looking at the three Prequel posters together, the off-center mask works well as a "bookend" and in that sense gives balance when placed side-by-side.

And I also don't think thqat was the idea. I also don't understand why the mask itself is so obviously assymmetrical, as if two halves of two different masks were put together.

Bowie 45 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I'm still hanging out hope for the "real" poster to be revealed online. I can't believe Lucas let so many CLEARLY flawed artistic techniques through, for the final film of his hexalogy. It's an eyesore, for Christ's sake. It makes me embarassed. End of rant.
