OT DVD boxes?

Post by DPDarkPrimus »

This site has pictures of three supposed versions of the OT DVD boxset.

Those all look pretty sweet, but it kind of pisses me off that I'll have to buy the trilogy three times (as a DVD collector and a completist, it is required of me).
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

According to The Digital Bits, those are indeed early concept mock-ups, but the company leaking them did a very naughty thing:
First of all, we've spoken with those in the know (the right people, you'll have to trust us on this) and have learned that the Star Wars DVD box art that's been circulating around lately is "work in progress" ONLY stuff that should NEVER have leaked on the Net. These are apparently very early concepts - stuff that we weren't meant to see - and the final packaging is likely to be quite different. This kind of thing happens all the time - that a company working on marketing designs for packaging, or even poster or cover art, will do many, many different concepts as they hone in on the final design. So while these packages are sort of the real deal, they're really not if you get our meaning. Anyway, that's the unofficially official word - take it as you will. We will, of course, post the final box art as soon as it's released by Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox.

All three of them look great. I'm not sure which I like the most.

I kind of like the Jedi/Sith one, the Imperial one is reduced in greatness by the droids. The final conflict is probably the best IMO.

Won't there be a 6-DVD set?

Judging from the fact that Lucasfilm immediately went public to correct any misconceptions about it, I suspect that someone somewhere may be receiving a severe unlubed ass-raping for leaking this on the Internet right now.

Leaks at LucasFilm are hardly uncommon; this isn't exactly Apple we're talking about.

Oh yeah...amazed at the speeds they went at.

Still I did like the designs on them...especially the plain Darth Vader one. I believe they referred to as Dark Side(?)

Vader is Final Conflict, which I agree is the best one.
