May the Mouse be with you

Bloomberg Businessweek runs the Disney/Lucasfilm sales story.
Probably not your everyday leisure magazine, Bloomberg Businessweek runs an in-dept story about how George Lucas prepared the selling of his company and what might happen with our beloved saga. A very interesting article (also availabe online here) but - of course - as a magazine collector, even better in printed form ;-)

Happy New Year 2013!

To all my readers, followers and fellow magazine collectors: Happy new year, again! As always I promise to post more stuff, but - well - wait a second, that is exactly the same phrase from last year ;-) Well, it´s just because nothing has changed...

Except that we have a new COUNTDOWN for STAR WARS episode VII!!!!!! Just when you thought, magazine collecting becomes boring, STAR WARS is back in full swing. I´m really exited about this!!!

Don´t forget:  I´m always in magazine collecting mode. Just drop me a mail for news and infos... 

 Stay hungry. Stay foolish - as a well known genius used to say. Missing you, Steve

Can you hate the creator ?

That is just one headline of many really interesting articles fom the GALAXIS magazine no.3 December 2012 with a fantastic Boba Fett cover.
This issue of Galaxis is... let me quote ´the magazine of science fiction and science. Complete episode guide to the original Battlestar Galactica, a visit to CERN, SpaceX takes off, classic short fiction, our epic Prometheus review, wuxia and Star Wars, SF authors Charles Yu and Lev Grossman, presidential SF politics, and much more´
It is certainly a good read and - did I mention it - it´s just 2.99 US$ cheap (Actually it dropped to FREE)!  You can read the digital copy right here via ISSUU - worth checking out. Of course - as a collector - I prefer the print copy which is also available! I can only recommend supporting the printed Galaxis mag with an order of a printed copy, as good Sci-Fi publications are fading fast in these digital times...but that´s just MHO.
Thank you John Zipperer for sharing your passion with us!

It will be a day long remembered...

You´ve heard or read it probably everywhere, but this is just too good to be not posted again...

George, thanks for all and congratulations for this DEAL OF A LIFETIME! I have a pretty good feeling about this. Disney will make sure, that STAR WARS will be HUGE again! I can´t wait until 2015 and enjoy EPISODE VII.
After all this years, we will finally enjoy the third trilogy of STAR WARS. And what a clever move George did by selling the complete Lucas empire to Disney !? It surely is in good hands and will live there forever - well, at least for my lifespan and the one of my family.

            May the force be with you - always!

Welcome back  Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie!

It´s been a while, but DARK HORSE and Lucasfilm have finally decided to go back to the STAR WARS origins and the original timeline of A NEW HOPE! 

It has just been announced that DARK HORSE will start a new SW comic series in January next year focusing at this area - finally!  For more news check out the DARK HORSE web site or read the first look here at the OS9 web-site!

STAR WARS meets economy

Talking about pop culture influence, a Darth Vader lookalike graces the cover of a new business magazine in Germany. Nothing about true STAR WARS coverage here, but the evil spirit of our favorite Sith Lord is truly suitable for a comparision to some bad broker / businessguys.
