JediStarDarkFalconKnight

JediStarDarkFalconKnight is a gen Star Wars parody zine, brought to life when some fans created a humorous flyer poking fun at some of the popular authors and stories of the day. The flyer was such a hit a zine was produced to go with it. It had a single issue. It is 61 pages long and is digest-sized. 
An ad in Southern Enclave: "This hummer's gonna cost you a cool buck-fifty and for a buck-fifty you get no offset, no 4-color, no perfect binding, not even full size pages! What you DO get is just some of the funniest self-indulgent parodies you're bound to find in a Kodak-copied, digest-size SW zine this season!"
An ad in Universal Translator #20: "We have no idea how long it will be, but it's bound to be short. We have no idea how much it will cost, but it can't be more than a buck or two. And even if you aren't interested in the strangest rising--to-the-challenge to hit SW fandom yet, we're going to print it for ourselves and for all the contributors mentioned in the infamous flyer distributed at MediaWest*Con III."
A fan in 2016 wrote: "A parody zine, with in-jokes galore, and outrageously funny to those who understand them." by kslangley at What was your first fandom?, June 28, 2016
