These are the Magazines I have collected over the years, going way back to 1977. Many contain behind the scenes and set pictures, and are a cheap way to get cool reference pictures. A must have if you want accuracy in details.

XX STAR WARS INSIDER I bet most of you are subscribed to this already :) I have been a subscriber since issue #1 when it was called Lucasfilm Fan Club. If you don't have books, or can afford only 1 magazine, this is your best bet. Pleanty of making of pics and cool interviews too. A good source to help you plan the layout and to add details in your dioramas.		XX CINEFEX Primarily a magazine geared for the fx professionals, there is no reason you should not pick up this amazing magazine. Especially if you love behind the scenes, making of articles from all your fave big hit blockbuster movies. Hands down the most comprehensive making of magazine out there. A lot of behind the scenes pictures.		XX OFFICIAL EPISODE 1 This was the Official Episode 1 Souvenir Magazine. It has a lot of behind the scene pictures as well as a lot of movie stills. I use this a lot for references to tiny details in the movies sets. I bought it at a magazine store at the films opening.

XX 20TH ANNIVERSARY When Star Wras hit 20, topps made this cool magazine. It has a lot of pictures from the classic trilogy with Star Wars in particular. Even some cool pics of then upcoming toys.		XX 1980 OFFICIAL EDITION A little frail :) I grabbed this Official Collectors magazine off the shelf after seeing the movie in 1980. You might find it on ebay or used book stores. there are a lot of movie stills and quite a few making of set photos.		XX 1983 OFFICIAL EDITION Like the Empire version, The Return Of The Jedi Official Collectors magazine has a tremendous amount of movie pics and behind the scenes pics of the fx and movie sets. Cool creature shop photos as well.

XX CINEFANTASTIQUE I don't know if Cinefantastique is still on sale but in it's prime it was one of the best resources for sci-fi material. You probably can order copies of the thicker Star Wars issues. A lot of good movie still references in here.		XX STARLOG I remember my friend running up the street to see me holding his copy with Star Wars on the cover and telling me how this was gonna be the best movie ever. "Yeah Right" I said...boy was I wrong - LOL. Starlog was THE sci-fi magazine of the 70's and 80's. It still onsale today.		XX CINESCAPE A newcomer on the block, Cinescape magazine offers a look inside sci-fi adventure movies and tv shows. I buy the issues with Star Wars and use their picture stills as good detail resource material.

		XX WIDEVISION TRADING CARDS If you want clear crisp freeze frames of the coolest scenes from the Star Wars movies, you can look no further then Collector trading Cards. These cards inspired me in how to take pictures of my dioramas, and are used as guides for the scenes yet to be made. Great reference material!.
