The Binders Strike Back with DeAgostini’s new The Official Star Wars Fact File magazine. The Official Star Wars Fact File is a weekly publication that features “Essential Guide” like discussion of the events, characters, locations, and technology of the galaxy far, far away.
Written by author Iain Lowson the new edition of Star Wars Fact Files is planned for an approximate 120 issue run and is available in both print and digital editions.
I really enjoyed reading through issue #1 they contain not only info from the films and The Clone Wars but also elements of the Expanded Universe are included as well. Some of these articles are more in depth than we have previously seen in the Essential Guide reference books and at around 30 pages it is a not insubstantial bit of Star Wars information to digest every week.
A few shots from inside issue #1 to get an idea of what you get:
More information on The Official Star Wars Factfile can be found on the magazine’s website: http://starwarsfactfile.com/
To hear more about the magazine you can listen to the Radio 1138 podcast episode #4 where co-hosts Mark and James interview the author Iain Lowson.
Stay tuned for more coverage of future issues of The Official Star Wars Factfile.
