U.S. covers vs. Japanese

The Japanese covers are AMAZING. The best American covers (outside of the art books), IMO, date all the way back to the Thrawn trilogy and even some of the much-maligned KJA works. At least those texts had good art on the cover. The Japanese covers, meanwhile, are frequently perfect and incredibly cool. I would consider re-buying the entire NJO if they simply released them with just the Japanese covers in the US. That's how good I think their cover artists are.

The Thrawn trilogy, you say? Can't agree with that in the slightest.

Flat, dead, detailess illustrations with Imperial army troops minus any body armour, Mara Jade in WW2 Marine Corps "Duck Hunter" camo, and Joruus C'baoth going all Prince Charming ala the end sequence of Beauty and the Beast are not my ideal as far as cover art goes.

TTT covers underwhelmed me. I was very surprised the art-loving Chiss himself wasn't more prominent.
And I agree with Q_M. Wedge on the cover of Rebel Drwam looks awesome.

I like the US covers a lot better.
