The new issue of
Star Wars Insider, Lucasfilm's official fan magazine, takes a fond look back at the Summer of
Star Wars, featuring extensive coverage of Episode I's North American opening and the
Star Wars Celebration, including reactions from George Lucas, Liam Neeson, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson, and of course, the fans. As usual, the magazine is crammed with impressive photos from the new movie and the fan frenzy. Also featured is an interview with actor Ahmed Best and an in-depth look at how ILM brought Jar Jar Binks to life, as well as Rick McCallum's Prequel Update and an exclusive excerpt from R.A. Salvatore's new novel
The New Jedi Order: Vector Prime -- a complete chapter starring Leia, Luke, and Han. The issue also boasts two covers: newsstand copies will feature the Naboo battle scene, while subscribers receive a cover shot of mysterious bounty hunter Aurra Sing, whose new Dark Horse comic is featured in the issue.
Subscribers also receive a bonus Prequel Update from McCallum.
