The Official Star
Wars Site has launched their new and improved web site with the
new Hyperspace section taking the forefront. You will be able to
tour the new section from June 5-9 with the paid subscription
starting on June 10. I really don't like paying for Star Wars
content, but if I am going to stay on top of the latest
developments, I have no choice. (I mean had!) I was probably one of
the first to subscribe to the paid service as I had been refreshing
starwars.com all morning until the new site was up.
The look is pretty cool, but the servers are very slow at this
time, so you might be waiting a while for a page to load. Currently,
all of the sections are showing "server busy" pages, so
you can't really check it out anyway. I am not sure if they are
still in the process of loading the new pages and content, or they
are just overwhelmed by the public trying to see all of the new
things. Either way, it might be better to try back later and
hopefully things will be running a little smoother. At least for
now, I will be able to keep you all up-to-date with all of the
latest news. At least the news that will not get me sued or shut
down.
