STAR WARS INSIDER MAGAZINE #98 (Previews Exclusive Cover Edition) 2008 Titan Magazines

30 YEARS…AND BEYOND

It’s the end of Star Wars’ 30th anniversary year, but we continue to celebrate Lucasfilm’s legendary franchise in the pages of Star Wars Insider!  From the first film to all of Star Wars’ modern guises, it’s the ultimate resource: as vital to all true fans as the Mos Eisley cantina is to all the scum and villainy of the galaxy.

Star Wars: The TV Series!

As well as in-depth features and interviews, we also bring you the latest news from the Star Wars universe. In this issue, George Lucas offers some clues about the much-anticipated live action Star Wars television series: “It has nothing to do with Luke Skywalker [...] or any of those people. It’s completely different.”

Galaxy Sounds!

In this issue, Star Wars Insider interviews Ben Burtt, the acclaimed sound designer who makes the Star Wars galaxy instantly identifiable with the unique sounds made by its colorful characters. Meet the Oscar-winning innovator who has voiced droids, made Wookiees roar, and put the breath into Darth Vader!

The Man who sold Star Wars

Delving deep into Star Wars’ illustrious history, this issue features Charles Lippincott, the man tasked with bringing a low-budget space movie to a mass audience back in 1976. As Lucasfilm’s first head of marketing, Lippincott led a word-of- mouth campaign and created a buzz with the fans that revolutionized film marketing. Plus, keeping the focus on A New Hope, we present the last installment of Joe Johnston’s storyboards for the movie – this time, a never-seen-before moment when Luke says, “May the force be with you.”

John Mollo & Roger Christian

Star Wars Insider talks to John Mollo, the award winning costume designer who, over 30 years ago, had to clothe an entire galaxy as he began work on the first Star Wars movie. Mollo explains the unique challenges of the project, from the functional costumes of the Rebel heroes, to the menacing outfits of the Imperial villains. Plus, we talk to one of the men responsible for creating those other-worldly yet somehow familiar environments that became a vital part of the Star Wars saga, set decorator Roger Christian.

Star Players

When it comes to Star Wars heroes, you guys – the fans – must be near the top of the list! And we can all reel off a list of characters who have made Star Wars the worldwide phenomenon that it is – Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie…. But the unsung heroes of Star Wars are those actors who played minor parts, unnamed characters, or even fairly major roles that were eventually cut from the final edit. Some have even enjoyed a new lease on life on the convention circuit. Meet the actors from the background of the Star Wars galaxy.
