Dear Editor,
In "Start the Day with a Ding!" on p. 15, there is an error in one photo caption. The Star Wars photo caption states: "Darth Vader along with some assorted storm troopers." To the average reader, these may look like "storm troopers", but to a Star Wars addict like me, I immediately recognized that these are actually clone troopers. Although it might not be very important to most people, to me and other Star Wars fans, we care about the details.
I still really enjoy the World Magazine for Teens, which I read during free time in science class at my school!
Respectfully,

Dear Graham,
Alas! You are correct. This detail slipped past our editors. Good eye! Those are indeed clone troopers, including one from the 501st legion, it seems.
We probably made the mistake because they’re standing next to Vader. This bell-ringing must have happened shortly after the events of Revenge of the Sith, before the Empire phased clone troopers out of production, probably sometime around 19 BBY. It seems Vader took a break from hunting down Jedi during the purge to visit Wall Street.
Great catch, and thanks for reading. I will give our caption writer a hard time.
