I did some of my earliest pro writing in features + reviews for Star Wars: The Official Magazine back in the late '90s, most memorably going out to visit Industrial Light & Magic to interview the team on their work for the Special Editions - it's a shame to see this great run ending.
The official Star Wars magazine STAR WARS INSIDER will come to an end in 2026 😔
The final 2 issues of the magazine, which launched in 1994, will be published early next year
