Blue Harvest

You may be looking for Green Harvest, a Star Wars advertising zine.
Blue Harvest was a Star Wars letterzine. It ran for at least twenty-two issues (includes one special issue), each issue was called "Episode."
The title comes from the "fake" film title used to cover the filming of Return of the Jedi; George Lucas put out that the shoot was for a film called "Blue Harvest: Horror Beyond Imagination!"
An interesting tidbit: the two editors didn't meet in person until around the fifth issue.
There was a single piece of fanfiction published in the zine series, a poem in issue #2.

==Reviews of Fanzines==
The zines contained lots of reviews. A few of these in the beginning were about fan-created zines, but most were about tie-in books, games, and card sets.

==The Covers==
Covers of the zine were sometimes glossy card stock and sometimes non-glossy. Some issues had color covers, and others did not. This was all dependent upon who James Addams knew at the print shop (usually a pal in a band) and what "shenanigans" that employee could pull off.from a comment in issue #20
==Copyright and Legal Challenges==
This zine struggled with a lot of legal issues.
The zine was a contemporary of, and in fact, often compared by readers to Report from the Star Wars Generation, a zine that had received a cease and desist letter from Lucasfilm the year before.
It ran a 1979 comic strip reprint in the first issue that they were apparently advised/required to quit.
It ran this disclaimer in issue #1: "As BH is a brand new mag, we haven't yet received the battery of fan art that we'd like to publish. Therefore, a lot of the graphics in this issue have been lifted from copyrighted sources. It was this, or make the issue free of any graphics... not an option. We would like to give credit to the holders of the these copyrights and reiterate the fact that this is not a for profit publication. The sources: Lucasfilm fanclub magazine, Topps Trading Cards, The Return of the Jedi Sketchbook, A Star Tours Postcard, an NPR Flyer, Russ Manning/Black Falcon Ltd., West End Games."
It ran this notice in issue #3: "A certain BH classified advertiser was recently contacted by Lucasfilm and ordered to stop selling specific copyrighted merchandise. The advertiser had to produce a lot of paperwork and personal financial records to avoid being sued. Apparently, another BH reader took the liberty of transferring the advertiser's mail-order list to an Electronic Bulletin Board, where it was intercepted by Lucasfilm spies. The merchandise in question was clearly labeled "Trade Only" on the advertiser's mail-order list, but this info did not make it to the BBS version. We realize that the list of goods was most likely passed on with good intent, but we're asking whoever did this to please stop."
In issue #5, the editors scolded a fan for writing a letter about a "nefarious scheme," that of not telling the truth about getting George Lucas' permission for their fan film, one that was being offered for sale. It is unclear if the film was made simply without permission, or if it was made at all. See the letter in issue #3 below, see the editor's response in issue #5 below.
==Russ Manning Reprinted, But Only Once==
The first issue had a reprint of a 1979 Russ Manning comic strip on the inside back cover, something that was meant to be a regular feature. The editors explained in the second issue that they wouldn't be running anymore of them: "In spite of the astonishing response to our reprints of Runn Manning's Star Wars newspaper strips, we won't be bringing them to you again in this, or any other issue. As many of you know, Dark Horse Comics has obtained the rights to these strips,and will be reprinting them as a part of their "Classic Star Wars" series. That pretty much takes little ol' BH out of the picture. But, never fear, we do have a cruiser full of other newspaper strips to reprint, staring off this month with some vintage Bloom County circa 1983."
== Regarding "The Sarlaac Pit"==
"The Sarlaac Pit" was a regular column by James Addams. Its focus was the review and recommendations of official Star Wars merchandise.
One example of a particularly blunt one is Sarlaac Pit: The Reason Sorry Products Were Made.
In issue #7 (fall 1995), Addams offers a little background: 
==Reactions and Reviews: General==

From "You're Who?, Or, What the Hell Do We Call Ourselves?": A fan is quoted from a letter in SW Galaxy: "In regard to the question of a special name for SW fans, I say don't do it. As someone who considers himself a ST fan, I know there is a social stigma attached to the name Trekker or Trekkie. We are perceived as losers and geeks, people with too much time on [our] hands and in desperate need of a life.... Up until now SW fans have avoided this characterization. Let us not, then, seek it out."
From "Sarlaac Pit": "Have you ever seen a negative review of anything (save perhaps, The SW Holiday Special), in Star Wars Insider or Star Wars Galaxy Magazine? Well, no you have not. The reason for that is because both of these publications exist to for one reason only: to sell product. [see more of this comment at Regarding "The Sarlaac Pit")"
