Crazysteve from our European forums has sent in a series of reviews magazines that are/were until recently available to Turkish Star Wars fans:



The May 2005 issue of “Film Arti” (Film Plus) has the most thorough Episode 3 coverage of any Turkish magazine I've seen so far. The cover uses the same picture of Anakin that appeared on the April issue of the UK magazine "Total Film" (#100), but the Film Arti cover has an additional flap that covers half of Anakin's body with a graphic of Darth Vader. Plus it also comes with a double sided poster measuring 22 inches by 32 inches with one side featuring Vader and the other featuring Anakin and Obi-Wan.



The May 2005 issue of “Milliyet Kardes” has a three page article with pictures from the movie and short quotes from Lucas and Rick McCallum, plus it also comes with a fold out poster of Anakin.



The May 2005 issue of "Bant” has 15 pages dedicated to the Star Wars phenomena and, unlike the film and movie magazines, it's more fan oriented with articles not only about Episode 3 but about the SW fan scene in Turkey. In a cool touch, the people behind one of Turkey's most prominent SW fan sites get their own article with pictures and biographies.



The May 2005 issue of “CD Rom Data Dijital Magazin” is a CD Rom with all sorts of music and movie coverage, including the second Episode 3 movie trailer in QuickTime format and 15 .jpg's of still frames from Episode 3. The movie trailer is in English with no Turkish dubbing.



The May 2005 issue of “Altyazi” (Subtitle) magazine has a nine page Star Wars article and a Yoda cover.



The April 2005 issue of "Cocuk Arti" (Kids Plus) was the first Turkish magazine I found with Star Wars material on it. It has the Turkish version of the Episode 3 movie poster on the back cover. There is no other Star Wars content inside.



The May 2005 issue of “National Geographic Kids has a small picture of Darth Vader on the cover announcing there's an RotS article inside. The text and pictures from the 3 page article can be seen online. The magazine comes sealed in a bag and the bag has a small circular RotS sticker on it that announces the magazine comes with a poster. It's the Turkish version of the RotS movie poster and it measures approximately 27 inches x 19 inches. There's a thick red border running the length of the poster's bottom with the National Geographic logo on it.



The May issue of "Sinema". It has an Anakin cover and comes with a really big (34 inches x 24 inches) version of the Turkish RotS movie poster. Unfortunately I can't find website information for Sinema magazine, but the poster is fantastic for those that love foreign SW movie posters.
