    I don't have the official Star Wars fact file but my friend does.

    It looks way good!

    Does anyone collect it?

    I want to buy it but I'm not sure if I can get the previous issues (or if I could afford it)

    Does anyone have anything they want to discuss about the Star Wars Factfile?

    I have been collecting it, and as it was supposed to stop at 75, and now is up to 140 something it's cost me more than I ever expected. At $6 an issue....you work it out!!! I do love it, and there is lots of good stuff, and I have enjoyed reading it. I haven't actually filed the stupid things in like 12 months......my bad. It's up to like 7 folders now I think, and it's taking up so much space!!

    But if you want to collect it, I may know someone who has one started but not completed. ;)

    Yes, I've been collecting it Champ. Thanks A-D for reminding me how much I've spent on it :(

    Anyway, its got a lot of info, quite a few piccies you don't see anywhere else, and lots of EU stuff if you are into take. My only gripe is that its totally 'in-universe'. You don't get any behind the scenes info. If I'm reading an article about some EU character I'd like to know where I can find out more - like which novel, comic or game they appeared in.

    Something like the Star Wars Encyclodpedia that came out before TPM at least gave that sort of info.

    Still available at Amazon.
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0345402278/qid=1091661348/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/102-0014918-6803321?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

    If they released a new edition of this now, it would have to be a three volume set :)


    Plus, with the Fact File, they are really going to have to cram in all the ROTS info before they get to the end of publication - my guess is that it will just keep going on ... and on .... and on....

    Thanks for the info.

    But can I actually get all the old issues like 1 ect?

    I don't know If I'm willing to pay $840 for it though.

    Do you pick it up at the newsagent each week/month or get it delivered? How can I order it if I decide to get it?

    Champ,

    I got mine delivered direct (paid by credit card) and I believe A-D gets hers through a newsagent.

    I agree its a lot to pay to catch up - its a rather cunning way to publish a book - you don't notice the small amounts so much over time.

    Anyway, checkout their website,
    http://www.deagostini.co.uk/starwarsfactfile/

    There is an email address and phone number for the Australian disrtibutor.

    (03) 9872 4000
    bissett@bissettmags.com.au

    I'm sure if you got in touch they would let you know what the options are.

    Cheers

    True, it is better as it's not been 'corrupted' by the net.
