It went dark for a while, but the official Star Wars blog is back and under new management. Which is still kind of a bummer since we’re still pretty fond of Bonnie Burton. That said, the new blog has a solid lineup featuring names like Stephen Sansweet and Pablo Hidalgo.

It’s been just about two months since we put this blog on hiatus to update its design and develop a new approach to content. It took a bit longer than we had hoped, but we’re glad to say that starting today, we’re back… with a few exciting changes.

We want the Star Wars Blog to be as exceptional as the fan community that it’s written for, and that requires both ongoing commitment and a specific vision.

The truth is that this blog – much as we love it – often got less attention than it deserved, and became a place to put stories that don’t fit somewhere else on StarWars.com. Sure, we can give you news and announcements, but so can all of the community sites we now feature on the site. We can talk about collectibles and books, and point to stories from around the web, and we plan to keep doing all of that.

There area lready a few interesting posts up, so head on over to the revamped blog and have a look.
