Hyperspace: The Official Star Wars Fan Club is the Lucasfilm-run organization for Star Wars fans worldwide created to unify and spotlight fan activity, give exclusive inside access to Star Wars productions, provide a way to buy really cool exclusive stuff, and most of all... to celebrate Star Wars.

Membership brings you a fantastic benefits package put together by Lucasfilm for Star Wars fans, including a year's worth of special savings at offers at StarWarsShop.com, a membership card and kit, and more. In addition, you'll be a member of the global Star Wars fan community.

Here's a look at what a year of Hyperspace gets you:

• First Looks and Sneak Peeks at new Star Wars Projects: From time to time, get a glimpse at some of the bold, exciting new frontiers that Star Wars will be exploring in the years ahead.

• Six Issues of Online Supplements for Star Wars Insider: Go beyond the pages of the official magazine with these bonus articles. Often packed with downloadables, these issues give you bonus content not available anywhere else. Also, the archives are filled with classic issues of Lucasfilm Fan Club magazine and other Star Wars Insider articles.

• Bantha Tracks Online: The online celebration of fan creativity and enthusiasm, each issue of Bantha Tracks is packed with photos and stories from fans around the world. And, coming later in the year, more printer-friendly versions of the newsletter so you can share with offline family and friends and keep them in your scrapbook for prosperity.

• Collector Benefits: Get VIP treatment with a 10% discount on select, premium Star Wars merchandise, early purchase rights on hot items, and look for exciting exclusive products available only to members. Browse the discounted products by clicking here.

• Connect with Fellow Fan Club Members: To start, you'll be able to connect with fellow Fan Club members on blogs and an exclusive message board, and there are more opportunities to come.

• Test Drive New starwars.com Features: Over the next 12 months, starwars.com will be venturing into new grounds with new features, and Hyperspace members will get an opportunity to try some of them out for the first time.

• Access to An Exclusive Membership Kit: For U.S. fans, the membership kit comes as a free bonus for the base subscription price. This is a physical kit of goodies mailed out during your subscription that includes an exclusive poster, unique extras and a letter from George Lucas. For Canadian and international fans, the membership kit is available with a subscription at a slightly higher price for shipping and handling.

• Instant Access to an Online Membership Kit: While waiting for your physical kit to arrive, dive into a digital kit filled with virtual goodies. There are desktop wallpapers, messenger icons, printable goods and an all-new Hyperspace-exclusive audio commentary for A New Hope. And that's just the start -- throughout the year, the Online Kit will be added to with more commentaries and more downloadables to enjoy.

The Star Wars Insider is a print publication, a bimonthly magazine now published by Titan Magazines. In past offers, a magazine subscription was included with Hyperspace membership, but the current Hyperspace Offer -- effective April 2007 -- does not include a magazine subscription. You can purchase your subscription separately from Titan Magazines.

Included with the U.S. membership comes a member kit that will be mailed to you, including a poster, a decal, a membership card, gifts and discounts from various Lucasfilm licensees, plus a welcome letter from Star Wars-creator George Lucas. (Contents of kit subject to change). Membership kits will be sent in groups throughout the year. Please allow up to 12 weeks for delivery. International members outside the U.S. will be able to purchase a membership with a kit at a higher price should they desire one. For those looking for immediate goodies, all members who join as of April 2007 will have access to an online membership kit, with downloadable extras like desktop wallpapers, messenger icons, printable membership cards, and other content. This kit will be added to throughout the year with other exclusives.
