WELCOME T here’s just six weeks to go before the Force awakens in cinemas and we behold a new Star Wars film, but STACK ’s SW celebration begins right here, right now. Head to pages 12–16 for a look at what’s good about the prequels (there is something, really), how the Original Trilogy has changed over the decades since its first release (lots), and what we know for sure about Episode VII’s plot (not much). There’s also an assessment of the Star Wars: Battlefront beta for gamers. And speaking of games, they don’t come much bigger than Fallout 4 . Unless you’ve been living in the Antarctic for the last six months, you’ve probably noticed the comprehensive marketing campaign that’s been overtaking all the major cities in Australia. Brought to you by the studio behind Skyrim , Fallout 4 is an ambitious project that was – until June this year – brilliantly concealed in a world where the reach of social media negates just about every surprise announcement. Purportedly three times the size of Skyrim , Fallout 4 really does let you choose your own adventure. Lock the doors, draw the curtains and cancel all upcoming social engagements – you’ve got some work to do in the Wasteland.
