Hyperspace: Summer 2005 and Beyond...
April 28, 2005
Episode III may wrap up the theatrical saga of Anakin Skywalker, but as you know there are big plans for Star Wars in the next few years and Hyperspace will continue to be your insider pass to Star Wars excitement only Lucasfilm can bring.
It was one year ago today when we launched Hyperspace: The Official Star Wars Fan Club, combining the fan club, Star Wars Insider magazine and Hyperspace online content features and benefits into one great package.
In this past year, members have enjoyed Set Diaries and webcam from London, "Post Notes" reporting from ILM, monthly webdoc previews, weekly exclusive sneak-peek photos and concept art from Episode III, celebrity chats, daily webstrips, online debuts of the trailers and much, much more.
We can't reveal all the secrets of this third season for Hyperspace, so stay tuned. But here's just a small sample of what you can look forward to in the coming months...
Exclusive Video
Hyperspace has brought its members Episode III webdocs, trailer previews, exclusive convention video, DVD previews and other surprises. With the secrets of the final Star Wars film revealed to the public this May, look for regular new Hyperspace-exclusive video with the perspective of the entire saga, archive secrets, plus looks ahead to the future of Star Wars.
Blogs
You're a Star Wars fan, therefore you have opinions. But how can you let the entire Star Wars community know what you're thinking? Start a blog! Hyperspace member blogs can be read by anyone, and starwars.com will be continually spotlighting best-of-the-best and random content as well, getting your words in front of millions.
Are you part of a fan group? You can apply for a collaborative group blog that can become the home page for your force, garrison, club, society, tribe, clan or squadron. As part of starwars.com, new members will have new ways to find you.
Look for Hyperspace blogs to debut in May, just in time for your Revenge of the Sith rants and raves.
Galactic Gallery
The sketches, paintings and sculptures from the minds of the Star Wars concept artists are so magical on their own, they have spawned museum tours. Hyperspace will take its readers through a new virtual gallery through all six Star Wars films, including rare finds from the Lucasfilm archives.
Star Wars Insider Archives
Hyperspace members already have access to the full online archive of Bantha Tracks, the original Star Wars Fan Club newsletter. Due to popular demand, the online restoration will continue starting with 1987's first issue of the Lucasfilm Fan Club Magazine (renamed Star Wars Insider with issue #23).
Hyperspace Webcam
Episode III production is over, but the famous webcam refuses to go into retirement. Look for it to make planned special appearances at the greatest events (like the Episode III MTV TRL Party at Skywalker Ranch, and Comic-Con 2005) and the most secret locations (like the Lucasfilm Archives).
... and much more
George Lucas hinted at some of his plans for two Star Wars television series last week at Celebration III. As production moves forward, Hyperspace is once again planning to bring its members the best access as the saga breaks new ground.
Stay tuned for news about more exciting additions, including exclusive video, exclusive images, trivia contests, leader boards, video game cheat codes, original fiction, contests, expanded StarWarsShop.com benefits and more.
Of course, your favorites will still be here: first-look video, webstrips, celebrity chats, rare fiction, Kessel Mines articles, rare classic trilogy images, exclusive forums features, Star Wars email address, "Delta Source" newsletter, and 24-hour access to the full Episode III content archive.
