Just picked up a new magazine, called the Official Star Wars factfile. It's one of those you buy every couple of weeks to build a collection. Anyway. The 1st issue which is only 50p (UK Based) comes with a large A1 size Galaxy map, which is lovely.

Not sure if you can get this outside the UK.

How large is large, exactly? A wall poster?

[EDIT: Looks to be about 33" x 24" Would love to get my hands on that.]

Its about 23 by 30 inches

With the whole "EU Shake-Up" either in progress, or about to happen... how "Official" really is this magazine you've found?

its called Star Was factfile. They have a web site. Its issue 1 of 120 so I guess its being done to drum up interest for the upcoming movies.

According to their site.

Its copyright Lucasfilm ltd and used under authorisation.

I just tried to subscribe from the US, but I don't believe it's possible at the moment!

I just picked up a copy on eBay. The place I got it from ships worldwide.

Thanks for the great recommendation! I've been looking for something like this.

Not to mention the blueprints inside too. Falcon in this issue and X-Wing in the next. Could be very useful resource.

Neat! Thanks for the tip.

Heh, I grabbed a copy from eBay too

This has already been released many many many years ago. The older fact file went up to 140, however while it covered every thing from the novels to movies to comics, it stopped at or about Attack of the Clones. Don't think it had anything about Revenge of the Sith in any part.

Book one came with a folder, info on the battle of Yavin, Darth Maul as at Phantom Menace, info on the xwing.

Sounds different already

Cheers
