Hopefully this might be the Gone with the wind art

I'll be pleasantly surprised if these steels are anything different to the UK/EU wave from a few years back. Saying that, I really would like the gone with the wind art, to replace the UK one.

Crossing my fingers that this isn’t recycled Zavvi artwork

Which is that?

Which is that?

Probably the most well known theatrical poster for the film. The one with han holding leia, mimicking the same pose from the poster for gone with the wind, hence the name lol

Considering what they're doing with cartoon movies i'd be amazed if they put this artwork on these.

Those silver steels? They looks god awful. I was shocked how good UK/EU star wars wave was tbh. Perfect, save for empire.

If these are the same artwork then I’ll be glad I bought the European steelbooks. Good luck getting a full mint set from Best Buy (or any US major retailer, for that matter).

That said, the classic ESB artwork would be great. I’m not holding my breath, though.

I have a sneaky suspicion we're about to get a poop art blast for these films.

I envision an all over orange steel, with a black silhouette of Luke riding his Tauntaun. With an all over orange back. And a confusing inside art that no one can discern.

I guess 99% of us would want that.

will be the same as the uk/ger/fr/es one... just with special best buy debossing

I'm hoping for this art, but yeah it'll probably be the stupid floating Vadar head again

Bring it on, this art sounds crazy. Another excuse to use Steelbook Empire as a door stop

Edit: Then I discovered the Disney 100 range and designs threads. Be afraid, be very afraid

The Vader steel is reminiscent of the 'coming soon' poster that hung in theaters long before the release of Empire.

You're not objective. How can you comment on your own artwork for steelbook .
Ofc you'll say it looks dope .

Aye, that's the one they used for the steel lol apparently there was some controversy surrounding gone with the wind at the time they were being released, which is why many people assumed that poster wasn't being used.

Oh are we getting a new wave of steels cos I actually decided the otherday I wanted Star wars on 4k. But if they match those god awful new Disney steels I think I will pass.

They aren't gonna match the silver disney 100 steels dw. Thats separate, celebrating 100yrs of Disney. They may be different designs to the uk/eu, but I doubt it.
