Thank you. Finally after over 1000 posts some said what so many of us have been thinking.

Also, in honour of so many posts for such a crappy release, I thought I would list a recap of the 1100 posts just for anyone coming in late. Just to think, it all started so innocently.

1. Yay, good times, best Star Wars film, can't wait. Great artwork options for this one. ANH looks great so surely this will match up.
2. What the heck is that teaser Zavvi have released? Surely it can't be the Darth Floaty head poster right?
3. Oh it really is the Darth Floaty poster. They are just messing with us. They will likely change it.
4. This is an outrage, I demand Zavvi/Disney change it this instance.
5. But this artwork is better. So is this one... and this one. For the love of God, change the f*****g artwork!
6. F*** me, they are really not changing the artwork. That's it, I'm done with steelbooks.
7. I'm cancelling my ANH pre-order as well.
8. But I will pre-order this one just in case.
9. There must be a reason why they have chosen this artwork (copyright issues/Black Lives Matter/Disney want to mess with us/the designer was stoned)
10. Repeat stages 4-9 over and over again in whatever order you like for the next 500 posts.
11. It's despatched (gulp).

Who knows what the next 1000 posts will hold. Tune in again for the next instalment of the Darth Floatygate scandal.

You missed the step in this thread after stage 10 but before 11 where it was implied this “ was a theatrical poster the whole time “ like a Trump spin doctor.

I think you mean what about 5 of you are saying against the 100 who disagree with the art work.

Lets Hope this one turns up, still waiting for Star Wars....(UK)

gonna have a laugh if they use the Kastel poster for the rumored best buy steelbook, but the spine for that one doesn't match the other 8 zavvi ones because the 4K UHD logo is different.

Tell me more?

Tell me more?

i said 'rumored,' but i suppose i should've said 'presumed' or 'conjectured' (as it's based on incomplete information)

lots of hopes that best buy will sell a a similar line for North America.

my thinking is that if they turn the artwork in later than they did for the manufacturing run for zavvi, they might justify using the Kastel art in place of disco vader.

Been a postie with Royal Mail for nearly 30 years and can honestly say the past 4 months have been hell.

Worked all through lockdown (wasn't really given a choice) no ppe, social distancing impossible and parcel volumes through the roof with people sat on their arses ordering everything online.

So please accept my apologies if your steelbook arrived late.

Does anyone know why they chose that Darth Vader floating head as the art? Looks weird compared to the others

I got mine last week. I'm in Ireland.

Anyway, I was joking. Don't take it to heart.

Yes, somebody does.

 

[Steely-Booked]

If you take a wet sponge and wipe it over the front art, it turns into the GWTW poster art. Rumor is that if you do that to Jedi, it turns into the Revenge of the Jedi Poster art.

As a fellow UK citizen, just wanted to say thankyou. Britain would not have got through the past six months if it was not for front line workers like Nurses, Doctors, Supermarket Employees, Couriers.
I’m sorry to hear about the lack of PPE and I hope it gets better for you.

The postman has been and gone...

Did no one get delivery today? Did a strict 3rd Aug delivery order get put on this?

Far too early to tell yet - my postie usually comes round our estate about midday.

 

[Doctor]

Yes, somebody does.

You think the person that actually selected it does?

Yes I do.
