Now...I got a question...In the new Star Wars insider, on page 15 I believe, there is a picture there.


Connie, you received SW Insider #101 already? I thought the subscriber mailing date was delayed till the first week in May. Lucky you! applause

Speaking of SW Insider, there is an awesome website that always carries the Diamond PX Exclusive cover variants of every issue. I am an avid collector of SW Insider and own every issue that has been printed (including the various cover variants). I've used this site on many occassions and have been extremely pleased every time.

For those of you who like to collect every issue, definitely check 'em out: http://www.tfaw.com/Search?quick_sstring=star+wars+insider&_results_sstype_search=

Just lemme know, on that page, when you get it, what chick that is in the pic, want ideas.

Hugs and have fun reading!!!

I collect all the SW magazines, too. Justin, do you have the Insider all the way back to the old Bantha Tracks? They're fun.

Anyway, I got my issue yesterday. That's definitely Padme, but that's not her burial dress, obviously. This is from the Dark Times comic book series, and they roam all around the GFFA in this particular series, so it's probably something pretty interesting. I'll get the comic soon, so when I do, I'll let everyone know what's up.

But - from the background of the shot, Vader's in some sort of cave. Maybe he's found Padme before she was taken to Naboo, and/or he's stolen the body. Then, the "good guys" get it back and take it to Naboo and bury her in the ceremonial outfit, etcetera, etcetera. My "creative" theories, anyway happy .

Yup, I have every issue, even the older issues when it was called Lucasfilm Magazine. I didn't start collecting them until 2002 when I became a Hyperspace member, so eBay was extremely useful in obtaining the missing back issues to complete my collection.

Every issue is bagged & boarded and stored in those white corrugated comic book boxes in my SW room.

Speaking of Bantha Tracks, that is my current mission - to obtain all of the printed BT issues. And I am extremely happy that BT is now available in PDF format for easy printing & collecting.

Yep, have the Lucasfilm issues too. Also like SW Galaxies. Some great stuff out there no longer available, unfortunately.

I never read SW Galaxies before (there are only 7-8 issues, right?). Jay Shepard referred them to me and said I should definitely try to get my hands on 'em.

I just realized I got the name wrong -- it was called Star Wars Galaxy. There are 13 issues, then it was replaced by Star Wars Galaxy Collector. Both are really a good magazine, precusors to the Insider.

And here I thought I was the only one...

I collect the magazine as well. I have 2 subscriptions. One for reading and for the son to get all yucky...lol, and one for "bagging and white boarding." Now, I do not have every issue, but plan to once we move. I want to dosplay them all on the wall, along side all my action figs.

So Val, you think its Padme? I do love that pic, wish there was a way to put that pic on my desktop, without the Vector and words written on it. Oh well...but, some more theories Val would be great!!!!

I have two subscriptions as well, Connie. Dianna has her own membership in addition to my own, so we do the exact same thing as you - read one copy and store the other mint condition copy away.

Great minds think alike! wink

I've got that poster... my girlfriend got it for me from the Star Wars store. Interesting story about that poster... it was never actually a poster. It was just a pic sent to people promoting the film. Poster collectors started asking about it and finally they made it into a poster because of the demand. Just thought I'd throw that out there. =)

Not Star Wars related with the exception of LFM doing the work... but Iron Man was excellent. One of the better super hero movies so far. If you're a fan of the comics, then stick around until the end of the credits. You're everday movie goer won't understand it but hard core fans will get a kick out of it.
