This month, we celebrate the release of the latest film in the STAR WARS sage – THE LAST JEDI. As well as previewing the movie, we look back the work and life of the series’ creator GEORGE LUCAS.

It’s also a very special month as STARBURST reaches our 40th Anniversary. This issue is packed with all manner of commemoration features including how the mag was reborn for the 21st Century – told in a warts and all fashion – and an interview with our amazing cover artist Mark Reihill.

We also take a look at the upcoming remake/sequel to JUMANJI – WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, the fourth instalment of the INSIDIOUS franchise, THE LAST KEY and chat to the original Boy Wonder, BURT WARD. If that’s not enough, we preview the DOCTOR WHO Christmas Special, profile the late ARTHUR C. CLARKE, who would have been 100 in December.

In our regular features, we look at the fabulous shocker THE DESCENT as it heads to HORROR CHANNEL and Independents Day profiles the director of the documentary IN MY MIND.

Plus all your favourite COLUMNS, NEWS, REVIEWS and much MORE from the worlds of SCI-FI, HORROR and FANTASY!

AVAILABLE IN PRINT(HERE) & DIGITAL (HERE)
