Star Wars DVD Cover Art Leaked

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the god-i-really-can't-wait dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Everyone already knows that Star Wars is coming to DVD. In related news, the Digital Bits reports that the proposed cover art for the upcoming Star Wars Trilogy box set was "accidentally" leaked over the weekend by design company Neuron Syndicate. The images were pulled, but not before copies were made. Three versions of packages for the Star Wars Trilogy can currently be viewed at French fansite KamuiWeb. If only those were packages of the original versions of these childhood classics...."

    Great! Now we can get started and make the DVD clamshells, and get all ready for when we can download the divx's off Grokster and burn them.

    Why isn't it 3d? Holographic cover would be the LEAST that Lucas could do for making us wait this damned long.

      I heard that halfway through Empire Strikes Back, Han rips Leia's dress, exposing her right breast in front of eighty-thousand stormtroopers.

  10. There are leaks. Everywhere! by plams · · Score: 5, Funny

    Seems like everything leaks these days? Even an open source game, work in progress, "leaked" recently - but I think they only used that term to be cool and trendy.

    Too bad the leaks sometimes contain spoilers, though. Or as Triumph the Insult Dog puts it:

    Triumph: Spoilers? I've got some spoilers for you!
    (StarWars nerds starts to look a little more curious and alert)
    Triumph: You will die ALONE!
  11. Re:I doubt they were really unknowingly leaked.... by lambent · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, but they've been dicking the fans around for ages about this. It wasn't so much a question of if ("You know, we're doing okay these days ... we don't really need the billion dollars the dvd box set will bring in") as of when ("Really, we should have released these by now. Who's going to be fired?") and how often ("Three different sets? Okay, I take it back ... you're not fired, you're promoted.")

    I was expecting the cover art to have something to the effect of Lucas lighting a cigar with a hundred dollar bill while laughing at us and giving us the finger or something :)
