Lucasfilm introduced the title of Episode III at Comic-Con today. I don’t think there’s a soul in the fandom who’ll be surprised by their choice.
Now, now, now!
For those of us spoiler-ho’s who can’t wait for the official novelization, a fan written patchwork of spoilers and speculation is currently underway over on TFN.
The writing isn’t bad so far. Someone called it Zahn-like. I don’t know if I’d go that far, but it’s worth a look.
SPOILERS: Episode 3 Packaging
Jedi Defender has a look at some Episode 3 product design.
It’s certainly not subtle, but then what in Star Wars ever is?
What this site needs is MORE PABLO
The Clone Wars mini-series has been nominated for an Emmy.
And a new SW comic strip will be coming online to Hyperspace/Fan Club members. The first set will be by Pablo Hidalgo and adapt existing SW stories; the second will be a Clone Wars storyline by Paul Ens and Thomas Hodges.
First Look: New Insider
Starwars.com has up a preview of Star Wars Insider #77, the first issue under the new fan club arrangement. The biggest design change so far looks to be a new masthead…
Content includes the top ten OT moments, prequel update, Bantha Tracks, and a story by Timothy Zahn.
It starts shipping to subscribers July 22, and will be in stores August 3rd.
Fan Club Syncs Up
Those of you who have been, well, a bit put off by the timing of your Hyperspace online subscription and the new Hyperspace combined magazine/online subscription will be happy to know that things have been adjusted.
You can now renew your Hyperspace membership and get everything you paid for.
Let’s hear it for listening to the fans!
