About my design

by SuperPope
Admit it. You were disappointed, too. :)



I'm partial to the navy, but chocolate and black also look pretty nice.



What do you think?

i don't get the circles and color choice. why not just make it yellow like the actual star wars crawl?
SuperPope
SuperPope on Jun 06 '05
I thought that would be too cliche'. I still wanted it to look original but not so much that you wouldn't get the joke.

I wasn't disappointed...then again, I am a nerd. :P May the Force be with you!

i agree with the sentiment, but i think the design could use some refinement.

I loved it. Who wants to copy verbatum what has already been done? Let the guy flex some creativity, ya mooks!



It could, however, use more cowbell...

Darthavok, thanks for the honest critique and scoring of a ZERO simply because you're willing to swallow anything George Lucas feeds you...



The movie disappointed me because it was boring, turned Vader into a pathetic baby killer, and didn't make me believe in his fall to the Dark Side. One second he's about to kill Palpatine as a traitor, the next second he's bowing at his feet.



But the most important thing to realize is this: MY SHIRT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY. Don't take Star Wars so seriously.

I loved the design, purple letters and all. It gives it a "this is just my opinion" feel instead of "you should all think so too".

And it was a good story, I just hate Lucas's directing. But that's just my opinion too.

If you're going to satirize something, go the mile and do it all the way. The purple is completely out of context in my opinion.



I like the idea.

Ohhh, golly ... geee .... phewy!

I can't decide if I like it better your way or if I'd like it better revised with yellow and more cowbell. And indecision means that you should leave it as is.

Good shirt. I know lots of folk who would enjoy it.

Thanks for the comments, everybody.



This is not supposed to be a satire of the opening scroll in Star Wars movies. It is a satire of Star Wars logo as it appears on some T-shirts. For example, the one Ewan McGregor is wearing on the cover of Esquire this month.

This shirt is perfect! I'd buy it and love it! It expresses exactly how I feel.



The movie was as good as trash...

i think many people who dislike new star wars do so merely to be contrary and trendy. it's like getting a delicious burger from a delicious burger joint and then being disappointed it's not filet minon and winning an oscar for best picture. i wish i was cool enough to rock the boat and make a shirt about it.



rock on.
SuperPope
SuperPope on Jun 08 '05
I think many people who dislike Star Wars in general are doing it to buck the mainstream.



Personally, I love Star Wars. The reason I was disappointed with this one is simply because I waited more than 25 years to see the events mentioned in the original trilogy played out on screen, and they didn't live up to my expectations. That's all.

Super pope-star wars is totally dope, i agree, the shirt is also cool, just dunno about the circles, a bit much maybe, but ja, a cool homage

i think many people who dislike star wars do so due to plan ol' lack of interest.

super pope and snowflakes, i totally agree with you. i love star wars so much, just this last movie was painfully crappy. the acting was plastic, as was the directing, and they spent far too much time on impressive special effects. the preview was better than the movie, because u didnt know what was happening. I was really looking forward to seeing exactly how Vader gets himself in such bad shape, but anikin's switch to the dark side didnt at all have me convinced. i tried my best to like the movie, but it just didnt get there for me; they had a huge budget and didnt do the right stuff with it.



but ya, i like the background in black or brown.

This is great. I think people often mistakenly want to see things stay too close to the original. The colors and spirals help it to step away from those lame "im with stupid" style tshirts that go right for the obvious. Great job.

ROFLOL. I love this idea. I personally kinda liked III, but hey, I know plenty who would wear this shirt day in and out. Darken the purples/blues and de-contrast them (if that's a word) and you've got a winner.

hey...my favorite...dont say like this...:(

nice. but deffinitely would've been better if it mimicked the actual text abit better. maybe copied the writing a little:



Damn! That George Lucas did the impossible! He took the greatest SciFi trilogy of all time, and used it to create the worst trilogy of all time!



or something . . .

I enjoyed Revenge of the Sith, but then I'm just a effects freak.

Admittedly, the dialogue and acting was diabolical, mostly.



Gotta love those effects though.



Okat...er.. now for the shirt. I like the idea, but again... would like to see it more in the style of Star Wars. Yellow\Gold text

...Okay, someone had to do it, and I love SW ;)

I'm only kidding though. the shirt made me laugh.

the movie was great

SuperPope on Jun 12 '05
Hmmm...I'm afraid my design isn't going to get a fair vote due to the biased votes of a few militant fanboys. Oh well. We'll just see what happens. :)
sykopiro
sykopiro on Jun 12 '05
Or maybe there are some people who did actually enjoy the movies? ;)
SuperPope
SuperPope on Jun 12 '05
Not the point. If you liked the movie, dont check that you'd buy it. But you should grade the design on its own merits.



At least that's my opinion. I've given 5s to shirts I wouldn't be caught dead wearing...

I'd say the third one isn't the one to be criticized. I wouldn't say it was a smash like it was supposed to be but it wasn't too bad. The second one was absolutely horrid in all aspects if you ask me. Just terrible.



The shirt's cool. Don't change it to yellow...it's better how it is.
