With 18 items, including three posters, an exclusive comic book, patch, membership card, stickers, and more, we think this is the best fan club kit to date, and a fitting ensemble to commemorate the retirement of Hyperspace.

And as a nod to those old-schoolers who have been with us since the old days -- or have perhaps recently returned -- you may recognize a few items from the original 1980 fan club kit, along with some upgrades. The classic "Gone With The Wind"-style Empire poster, which was included with the 1980 kit as a 20"x27" poster, has been up-sized to 18"x32", revealing the full artwork as originally envisioned by artist Roger Kastel. Also, we've reproduced the original Empire logo pencils included in the '80 kit (the logo and illustration have been cleaned up), and the traditional George Lucas welcome letter has been printed on the old-style Fan Club letterhead stationary, a throwback to the early days of Star Wars fandom! And did we mention, the posters come rolled for the first time since 1983?

Kit contents include:

• Roger Kastel Empire "Gone With The Wind"-style original artwork poster (rolled, approximately 18"x32")
• "Thank the Maker" 16-page comic book (story by Ryder Windham, artwork by Kilian Plunkett)

• Reproduction 1980 Empire Strikes Back fan club pencil

The Battle of Alderaan. The Republic's gravest hour. Recently promoted to Darth, Malgus launches the first of many surprise attacks that would become his trademark during the Great War, perfectly timing the assault with a feint that pulls the Republic fleet light-years away. Thousands of assault droids and hundreds of Sith set the heart of the Republic ablaze, and Alderaan's few defenders are swept away with ease.

Unknown to Darth Malgus, small groups of Republic Troopers are stationed on Alderaan, some recovering from wounds, others are awaiting orders. As these brave soldiers take to the forests and mountains to fight a guerilla campaign against Malgus's forces, the Republic fleet rushes back to repel the invasion. With time running out and Alderaan's capitol threatened, it falls to Havoc Squad, the elite Republic Special Forces unit, to coordinate one last desperate stand against Malgus' vastly superior numbers.

Though the magazine will still be available in newsagents and bookstores, Zinio offers an exciting alternative to the print edition and a high quality digital reading experience, allowing you to zoom, interact, and share with friends, anywhere, any time.

You can preview the digital version of the current issue of Star Wars Insider at the Zinio website by clicking on this link.

A subscription to the digital version of Star Wars Insider typically saves readers 30% off the newsstand price. In the United States, the subscription price is $36.34 (compared to a cover price of $51.92), and in the United Kingdom it is £24.77 (compared to £35.39).

Now I have to ask myself if the print version isn't now on its way out with this new online version. If I can't keep a copy in PDF format or something like that for my money, it is of no use to me.

"Wanting to give female fans a voice and affirm that they play an important role in the world of Star Wars and science-fiction, we created the Her Universe brand especially for them. We are excited to outfit fangirls of all ages -- to give them the confidence to step into the spotlight and express their own fandom," says Eckstein. "Ever since we announced Her Universe, the outpouring of support from the fans has been incredible. We are also creating a Her Universe community, a place for their voices to finally be heard."

Be sure to go take a look!
