Fans across the galaxy have enjoyed the exciting news and behind the scenes goodies that are offered by being an official Star Wars fan via starwars.com's Hyperspace. In Monday's release of Delta Source there is a small article ensuring fans that although Revenge of the Sith will complete the movie saga, Hyperspace will continue to bring out-of-this-world content in its up-comming third season, as reiterated here directly from the source:

SOURCE: Star Wars: Hyperspace Summer 2005 and Beyond...

STARWARS.COM has recently released a new music video on their site which, in my opinion, is the very best Epsidoe III trailer yet to be released! It showcases the decent of Anakin Skywalker with this some truly fascinating scenes from the new movie, and a few key scenes from Episodes I and II near the end. Hardly a true music-video in the sense of the term, a very teasing and well orchestrated trailer for the upcomming end of the saga, none-the-less.

The Dark Side is upon us...

Happy shopping!
