Latest SWInsider Sucks

I just got the newest SWI in the mail (SWI redefines the concept of shitty deadline-keeping). It sucks. Sure, it had a few cool pictures, but it didn't have any HolonetNews, and it didn't have any interesting articles.
It also came with a note saying that I should pay $40 for Hyperspace and 6 issues of SWI.

Fuck 'em, I'm not renewing.

Yeah, after they forced me to buy a Hyperspace membership AND a magazine subscription (even though I was ALREADY subscribed to the magazine), I decided to stop renewing.

LFL PR seems to be in the pits. From their plethora of money-grubbing about Hyperspace and SWI, to Pablo Hidalgo, there's much room for improvement.

They f****d up my member ship so I only received 3 of my last six issues.

It does suck, i subscribe...d to SWI so didnt think i had to pay for hyperspace. Now i find that the new SWI is back to 6 issues a year and charging 40 bux to subscribe to it and hyperspace. IF you do the math its cheaper to buy each issue off the newstands than subscribe. Now they want me to resubscribe and miss issues that i already paid for

You don't need to fucking censor yourself.

I'll cut this issue some slack, considering that it's the first one done by the new publisher. But I don't think I'll enjoy it at all without HoloNet News. That Top 10 Trilogy Moments screamed "filler" at me.

Meh, it's not like I buy it. I just read it for free at Chapters.

Alright, guys, time for action. What is the ADDRESS in the new magazine? Where are we supposed to send our complaint letters, to? I sent my letter to the old publisher, but I want new ones to be in the mail ASAP.

Damn right it sucked. No Holonet news, all the worthless Hyperspace ads, every other page an add to buy collectables. Other one was far better.

Oh, but it was nice to learn Darkhorse was going to piss all over continuity again by having Jedi other then Anakin go to Hognar.
