For me, this has notably dwindled in quality since 2001/02 - which is when it became full of Special Edition content and retconning official history and contradicting their own previous articles and content… together with a more ‘corporate’ / ‘run by the Empire’ feel to it. Certainly lacking in the fun tongue-in-cheek humour it once had at times. I’m a little surprised they kept the SW Insider magazine going for so long. The 40th anniversary edition was a pisstake / FU to many of us older / OOT fans.
I lost interest in it progressively as more and more of the ‘‘content’’ became ads for merch.
