WiP...
Love it! Simply wonderful! One minor suggestion for cohesiveness, though would be to move the LucasFilm logo to the top of the spine on each box (removing the Fox and Disney logos, but keeping them on the backs of the cases). Will you make any for the bonus material from the current box set in this style? These are so well made, that it makes me really wish the bonus materials could actually be split up, where each box would have bonus material included for its respective movie.
Here's another set of custom Star Wars Blu-ray covers I can share. Please specify "the white set" in your PM, so I know which ones you mean.
Lately, nearly all of my clients have elected to share their covers with fellow forum members. It's a nice trend.
Fritz,
Have you done a cover for Empire like these that uses the original US release artwork?
One of the absolute worst covers I have seen in recent memory is Olive Film's release of Zapped! from '82. I didn't get the disc so I didn't realize how bad it is until I saw a post from a fan asking for a better cover. I rarely make a cover for something I don't own, but this one was so bad, and the original art was so, um, "fun", I couldn't resist.

Every movie fan/collector has their favorites and favorite guilty pleasures. For me, one of the films I can revisit as often as I want and never gets old is that little slice of kitsch from 1968, Lady In Cement. The second film with Sinatra as Miami detective Tony Rome, this film has a lighter, less serious tone than the first "Tony Rome" film, and more importantly, features my favorite sex symbol of all time, Raquel Welch at the height of her career. Indeed, this is one of a bare handful of DVDs I have kept despite now being years into the HD era, even if it is more of a frustration than a pleasure to watch in 480p.
As you might imagine, when this and Tony Rome were announced as a double feature by Twilight Time, this instantly became one of my most anticipated Blu-ray titles ever. With just a few days before the disc releases, it was a forgone conclusion that I would attempt a custom cover to replace Twilight Time's. I use the term "attempt" because this is a double feature on a single disc so individual covers was not really an option, and doing justice to two films on a single Blu-ray cover is usually nearly impossible. In this case, I found some decent elements for both films that I felt I might be able to blend into something I would be happy to put on my shelf. After spending the better part of a day on the front image, I'm pretty pleased with myself. My cover is available in the usual places.
