STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT

EDITOR’S LETTER W ell, 2015 is drawing to a close and it’s certainly been a fantastic year for films, TV, music and video games. However, some might say the best is still to come. Although we won’t be seeing it at JB Hi-Fi for a while yet, there’s no doubt that the arrival in cinemas of Star Wars: The Force Awakens is one of the most eagerly anticipated entertainment events of the decade and to celebrate, the December issue is stacked with articles about the world’s biggest sci-fi franchise, including an interview with Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill. Elsewhere in December’s STACK , we take an in depth look at the new album from Adele, which, as expected, is shattering sales records around the globe, while Graham Reid offers some buying tips for people looking to further explore The Beatles back catalogue. So all that remains now is to thank you for all for your support this year and wish you a merry Christmas and a happy NewYear. See you in 2016…
