Shooting Star (Star Wars zine edited by Jenni Hennig)

The art is by Jeanine Hennig, Karen River, Pat Easley, Mark Fisher, Melea Fisher, Dani Lane, Jim Markle, Lynn Garcia, Cheree Cargill, Schall, Peggy Dixon, and Kate Nuernberg.
Two stories were advertised on a 1984 flyer but did not appear in the zine: "Dewback Drawback by Yonina Gordon, art by Carol McPherson - "When Luke and Windy get lost in the deserts of Tatooine, they encounter a strange old hermit." And "Birthright" by Jeanine Hennig, art by Jenni - "The one thing that no one could deny him."
