This is cool! StarWars.com is now offering blogs to paid members of The Official Star Wars Fan Club …
… according to an announcement on the web site. This is very similar to Major League Baseball’s MLBlogs. What better way is there for an company/organization with raving fans to get their evangelists spreading their message than giving them blogs? The only downside is that you have to pay to play, but in StarWars.com’s case there are other benefits to becoming a member. May the blog be with you!
