The Homing Beacon logo.
Homing Beacon was the name of the complimentary bi-weekly e-mail newsletter from StarWars.com. Subscribers received it in their inbox, and it acted as a companion piece to the website's content. Around the close of 2007, its publishing frequency was adjusted to weekly, instead of bi-weekly. The initial edition was sent out on January 27, 2000, and it ran for a total of 358 editions, with the last one being distributed on March 19, 2011. While the initial editions contained exclusive information, the later ones (after issue #239) transitioned to being primarily an advertisement platform, lacking original articles.
