If he does, you probably won\u2019t get to read about it in Star Wars Insider, the official print magazine of the Star Wars franchise. The magazine will officially cease publication early next year with its 237th issue, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.starwars.com\/news\/star-wars-insider\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lucasfilm announced<\/a>. \u201cInsider has been a big part of my Star Wars experience for a very long time, both as a fan and professionally,\u201d editor Christopher Cooper shared in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s been an honor to explore the galaxy far, far away with our readers during my eight year tenure. But publishing has changed immeasurably since the Lucasfilm Fan Club magazine, and we live in an increasingly digital age, which sadly means that this chapter in Star Wars Insider\u2018s history is coming to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The magazine published its first issue under the Insider moniker in 1994, though its origins go back a lot farther than that. The idea\u2019s earliest incarnation came in 1978 with the Official Star Wars Fan Club newsletter, Lucasfilm writes. The newsletter eventually evolved into the Lucasfilm Fan Club magazine, which debuted its first issue in 1987. (In a little trip down memory lane, the studio shared that that issue\u2019s cover featured C-3PO and R2-D2 holding a cake with 10 candles on it to celebrate the 10th anniversary of 1977\u2019s Star Wars: A New Hope.) The title was changed to Star Wars Insider for the magazine\u2019s 23rd issue, and the rest is history.<\/p>\n<p>Almost four decades later, Star Wars Insider\u2018s next issue (#235) will mark a different 10th anniversary: that of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The new issue will arrive December 9, with the magazine\u2019s final two issues hitting shelves early next year. <\/p>\n<p>                    <a class=\"auto cell copy-container noimage\" href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/review-predator-badlands-dan-trachtenberg-elle-fanning-dimitrius-schuster-koloamatangi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Predator: Badlands brings Star Wars sweetness to film&#8217;s most lethal hunter<\/a><a class=\"auto cell copy-container noimage\" href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/star-wars-imax-re-release-special-edition\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Which version of Star Wars is Disney re-releasing?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Earlier today, GQ published an interview with Oscar Isaac in which the actor said he\u2019d consider playing Poe&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276347,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,134,344],"class_list":{"0":"post-276346","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276346\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
