MAGAZINE DETAILS

The cover is particularly eye-catching, with a minimalist black background, large metallic-gold EMPIRE lettering and an illustrated group of Porgs filling the lower portion of the cover. Small gold text identifies it as the Star Wars: The Last Jedi exclusive subscriber cover.

This differs from the standard retail-style cover and makes it a desirable alternative for collectors who specifically collect Empire subscriber editions and Star Wars-related magazine covers.

STAR WARS COLLECTOR APPEAL

The contents pages shown include multiple images associated with the film and its contemporary coverage, while the subscriber cover gives the magazine a more unusual collectible appearance than the standard issue.

For collectors, it is particularly suitable for anyone building a collection around:

Star Wars magazines • The Last Jedi • Empire Magazine • 2010s film magazines • movie memorabilia • subscriber editions

CONDITION

There is also general edge and corner wear, including rubbing along the outer edges and some minor wear around the corners. The cover remains firmly attached and presents well overall, but it is not a mint or near-mint copy.

The inside pages shown are generally clean and bright, with normal signs of handling and use. There are some natural page curls/creases from the magazine having been opened and photographed.
