dreamwarsWelcome to the Monday chat corner!
This week, lets look at HoloNet News, the promo website built in 2002 in advance of Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. It styled itself as an in-universe news site and contained illustrated articles about events leading up to the movie. The site has been closed down in 2013, but most of it is available through Wayback Machine.
Have you seen it before? What do you think? (It’s so very 2000s, isn’t it!)
