Ludicrous speed!!
So, can someone tell me, am I missing anything having not renewed my Hyperspace subscription? (At this point it probably is almost a year, I don't even know anymore.) Once I found out they'd let me still see the stuff online (which I haven't even done much since Episode III came out) and that I could keep adding to my blog, I decided the magazine had gotten crappy enough that I no longer wanted to spend the forty bucks. Honestly, I really enjoyed the magazine leading up to Episode III, and for a short time it was fun afterwards.

But come on...how many stinkin' articles are you going to write about the Sith, how they got here, and who's so newly dark and evil that he bleeds coolness, before we just stop caring? I've long passed this point. The stuff that does really interest me is the movie-making process, but at this point I fear I must turn to books and documentaries for this rather than the Lucasfilm-published magazine for goodness sakes. To me, the last three or four issues I got before not renewing seemed to simply spew Expanded Universe over and over so much I was starting to feel ashamed that the things were sitting on my coffee table.

I've said it before, I'm not of the Expanded hippie-movement. I tried, years and years ago, and it just got so tired to me. Not to take away from those that enjoy, you have fun. I know you have been enjoying it for years, so by all means, continue. I just don't really want a part of it, and I felt it was being forced on me a little since I was paying for this magazine.

I liked being a Hyperspace member. Back in the day when I had no steady income (being a child will do that to you) I looked at the advertisements to "Become a Star Wars Fan Club member!" with envy. Hyperspace gave me that opportunity recently, but now I just can't see the worth in something I just can't get into.

Any thoughts?

No? Well, blog on then. I'll be here busy reading about how no one knows that Darth Vader actually spent seven years in the time leading up to the Battle of Yavin on the planet Poo'Nania Flosil V'Felya'Ya taming space sheep.
