The Official Star Wars Fan Club Breakfast at San Diego Comic Con will be Friday, July 25th at the godforsaken hour of 7am. Tickets are going for $62.75, and fan club members will be able to purchase them on Wednesday.
New Bantha Tracks is ready for download
Bantha Tracks #85 went up last night, so Hyperspace members can head over to StarWars.com for an 8-page PDF featuring Germany’s Jedi-Con, WonderCon, and ‘Bantha babies’ (not to be confused with baby banthas. Next time?)
Hyperspace: New Lando short story!
Yet more brand new fiction for Hyperspace members! The latest selection is Lando Calrissian: Idiot’s Array, set pre-ESB, by Rich Handley.
Which old-schooler will be next? Dare we guess?
New story on StarWars.com tonight!
‘Precipice,’ the second brand new Hyperspace short story, is up on StarWars.com – and it’s by our own Chris Cassidy! She tells me that it takes place while Obi-Wan is held prisoner on Geonosis during Attack of the Clones.
Download Bantha Tracks!
The Hyperspace fan club newsletter, Bantha Tracks, is now available as a downloadable PDF – and you don’t even have to be a Hyperspace member to try out the first PDF issue.
Longtime subscribers will note that it’s now significantly longer, too. Cudos to Mary – and our fellow fans – for the great job!
And the new Hyperspace short stories are a go
Knights of the Old Republic writer John Jackson Miller’s ‘Labor Pains’ is up on StarWars.com with illustrations by Pablo Hidalgo.

All-new fiction coming to Hyperspace
According to Knights of the Old Republic writer John Jackson Miller on the TFN boards, StarWars.com’s Hyperspace will soon be bringing us original Star Wars short stories. (They’ve been reprinting previously-published short stories from magazines and anthologies for quite a while now, as well as original webstrips.) Miller’s “Labor Pains” will be among the first offerings.
What’s the Story takes a bow
And we bid farewell to the official site’s ‘What’s the Story’ feature with a listing of all 61 fan-written contributions to the Databank. (CJers will probably remember Kalyn Farnmir, even if the winning entry does lack penguin squeezing.)
