    Just to say that the new background is really ccol! Good to see some Marvel action. Especially relevant if Lumiya gets some action in LotF

    I'm not a big fan. Too empty on the top/sides, too much pink, and I like banners that concentrate on more than one theme.

    Oh, I'm not saying the borders couldn't be filled out more, with the "center" image made more prominent than a pullback-shot of Shira, but the tint screams "Zeltron."




    (...Which, of course, was so obviously the intent all along.)

    Empty, sickeningly pink, and inaccessible to all non-Marvel fans. I've never seen a worse banner on TFN. (My apologies to whoever created it.)

    IMHO, it seems incomplete. With my browser, at least, there's a part where all you see is a portion of Lumiya's arm, and another part where you only see part of the lightwhip. It also took me a long time to realize that there was a picture of the unmasked Shira Brie/Lumiya in the left hand corner.

    I guess it should go without saying that I liked the last background much better.

    A bit spartan, but an intersting choice. I for one like it. Though the pink has me thinking more Pepto Bismol than Zeltrons. :p

    I like it, but it seems incomplete to me too. And then there's the pink.

    Worst background to ever be in existence on TFN. When will there be a change? [face_praying]

    I'm pretty keen on pink but I'm not too sure about the way Luke's legs are cut off on the curve (top left) section, and the way he seems to be suspended in midair on the lefthand section. It's not bad, but personally I reckon it could do with a wee bit more spit 'n' polish.:)

    It seems a bit too empty to me.
    I dislike the pink.
    If it's Marvel-themed, where the heck are Valance the Hunter or Fenn Shysa?
    And I must say I agree by saying it is the worst banner I've seen on TFn.

    Well, though Zebra3 created the banner, any compositional flaws would be my fault, as I rearranged to original submission's layout to be more dynamic and less spartan.

    >>but I'm not too sure about the way Luke's legs are cut off on the curve (top left) section<<

    It's a bit odd- on some pages, his legs reach to the top of the header lines perfectly as intended, on others, the "cutoff" space is more pronounced.

    >>With my browser, at least, there's a part where all you see is a portion of Lumiya's arm, and another part where you only see part of the lightwhip.<<

    You're referring to these, right?

    <img src="http://www1.theforce.net/JC/images/lit_lumiya/adl.gif"> <img src="http://www1.theforce.net/JC/images/lit_lumiya/adr.gif">

    Those are supposed to be the bracketing images for the adspace, but oddly no ad is currently "playing".


    I agree the board scheme is too pink currently- that's Raven's fault, but he'll be adjusting the scheme to reduce the amount of pink (not in in the banner but in the boards) sometime Monday most likely.

    Banners will rotate on Fri or Sat.

    Someone should color the pink lightsaber at least. [face_alien_1]

    I really love the idea of the banner especialy since Lumyia is coming back and all, but I really hate all this pink. And I think this banner could have been fleshed out a little more rather tne having those far shots of Lumyia.

    I've got to go along with the folks that hate the pink. It's hard on the eyes!

    Hey, all Quin is fine. But whoever said the saber needs to be colored is right. Luke's fighting with a nonglowing stubby pink stick here.

    How can he even fight this supposedly lethal assassiness, if he's barely Forceful in the movie period? That is when he defeats her, isn't it? [face_not_talking]

    Their confrontation, IIRC, is post-ROTJ.

    Right after Truce at Bakura. Circa one month or so after Endor, IIRC.
