Topic: Starlog Archives now online

You kids have probably never heard of Starlog. For some of us, though, in the 70's and 80's, it was the go-to magazine to get your SF information. At least, if you wanted nice happy and colorful studio propaganda smile Eventually I moved on to Cinefantastique (which now exists as a podcast), but you can now read most of the old Starlog archives online. Of particular interest might be issue 120, their Star Wars spectacular from 1987. See how the films were viewed in the pre-prequel days!

I was a Cinefantastique baby myself, but I was aware of Starlog -- not sure how, I must have tracked down back issues for movies I enjoyed. I think it came up a lot as reference material in the replica props community too. Definitely plan to check this out -- thanks also for the Cinefantastique podcast heads up!

I don't listen to it much, apart from the "mighty movie temple of bad" episodes. I'm not much of a SF movie geek anymore smile

I just clicked a random issue and found an interview with Michael Dorn saying he doesn't think TNG will go past season six and the studio might well just bring in a new crew and keep going!

Re: Starlog Archives now online

IIRC there were contract negotiations needed for season seven. The idea of replacing cast if they got too difficult was always there (If they killed Picard in Best of Both Worlds, they had a second officer right there to step in when Riker became captain)
