Get ready to say goodbye to starwars.yahoo.com, the GFFA outpost founded back to 2007 to… Uh, we’re not sure, exactly. In any case, the URL will redirect to StarWars.com as of December 15, 2009. (via)

That date is a great date! I may be a bit biased though… it’s my birthday :P
It was always totally mystifying. What niche was it meant to fill? The whole Web 2.0 thing?
I actually signed up over there when it first launched. It was cool… for about 3 minutes.
Yahoo didn’t really seem to care about it at all… as you can see, the main article on the homepage – that’s been there since 2008 – is about seeing the “new” CW trailer… for the movie… from TWO summers ago. LOL! I mean, really… pretty pathetic.
Even the StarWars.com box – which you’d think would be automated – is linking to stuff from 2008. Very odd.
It took me like a dozen tries to get my profile stuff up, and by the time it worked I had stopped caring. Ahh well.
yeah, that was a case of too much stuff at once. TCW had launched and then this – kind of overkill. Never underrstaood why LFL allowed another site to draw folks away from the official site/blog/blogs.
Ahhh well, another ideas bites the dust. Anyone remember Homestead..?
Oh yes, Homestead. For those times that GeoCities was just too classy.
Never heard of it. Looks like I didn’t miss out on anything.
Izikavazo – you didn’t miss anything, believe us…
