This interaction took a leap forward with the full integration of the site and fan club in Hyperspace: The Official Star Wars Fan Club. This marriage made possible a depth of inside access into Episode III never-before-seen with a Star Wars film. We look forward to bringing the same experience to our members with the two Star Wars television series in development, an anticipated Celebration IV event, next-generation Star Wars video games, special theatrical and DVD releases and whatever else the future has in store.
None of this would be possible without the on-going loyal support of our Hyperspace members. As a token of our appreciation, Lucas Online recently randomly selected another ten Hyperspace members to receive a free copy of the hardcover copy of Industrial Light & Magic: The Art of Special Effects by Thomas G. Smith. This lavish, profusely-illustrated volume originally published in 1986 tells the remarkable story of the first ten years of the organization whose name has become synonymous with state-of-the-art special effects: Industrial Light & Magic. Covered are its early days in a large empty warehouse in Southern California's San Fernando Valley, its Oscar-winning accomplishments creating special effects for the Star Wars trilogy, the Indiana Jones movies, and many other beloved films.
Congratulations to Hyperspace members: Jim Abell, tuskanmunky, jediAlexy, CharbroiledEwok, rfilippetti1520, obi-john_17, SandratheI, Boba Fettian, darthmokyris, and Rogue4809z. Enjoy the book.
And an on-going thank you to all of our members. Star Wars is forever.
