The 206th edition of Star Wars Insider magazine, published by Titan Magazines, is Star Wars Insider 228. Its release date was October 29, 2024.
As we approach Halloween, we can't help but ponder what the most frightening element within the Star Wars universe might be. Could it be a classic creature such as the rancor or the wampa? For those with a fear of snakes, the vexis from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker likely rank high on the list. The exogorth (famously known as the space slug from The Empire Strikes Back) must have been particularly terrifying for individuals suffering from molluscophobia – an intense fear of slugs and snails! Or perhaps the scariest aspect of Star Wars, especially for long-time enthusiasts, is its stark reminder of the relentless march of time. On November 12, 2024, Star Wars: The Mandalorian will reach its five-year milestone. That's a full half-decade. Where did the time go?!
Reflecting the spooky atmosphere of the season, this issue of Star Wars Insider is dominated by ghosts, villains, and monsters. In addition to celebrating the Mando anniversary with a piece on how the series has enriched our understanding of galactic lore, we delve into the horror themes of the saga, from the Frankenstein-esque transformation of Darth Vader to the Witches of Dathomir and beyond. We interview Diana Lee Inosanto about further developing Morgan Elsbeth's character in Tales of the Empire, and we get an inside look at Star Wars Bestiary Vol. 1 with its author S.T. Bende and illustrator Iris Compiet. We also sit down with Star Wars: The Acolyte's Dafne Keen and Charlie Barnett, and Alyssa Wong's The High Republic short story arc reaches its dramatic conclusion.
