1996 STAR AWARD WINNER -- BEST SW ZINE

A TREMOR IN THE FORCE 9

Chewbacca Goes Shopping by Z. P. Florian. Star Award Honorable Mention. The fair on Kashyyyk always brought merchants and gypsies selling their various wares. This time, for some reason, the small naked human boy being abused by his gypsy "father" aroused Chewbacca's interest and he stepped in to alter the situation.

The Planting by MJ Mink. It is Planting Time on Tatooine and Luke must undergo an important ritual to insure harvest. Can he supply the all-important Fertilizer that will make the seed grow?

Ashes by Veronica Wilson, art by Z. P. Florian. Star Award Honorable Mention. You will never forget this Cinderella story about a Darkside witch and the Prince Charming she seduces!

A.W.O.L. by Louise Turner, art by Gerald Crotty. Luke has disappeared following the evacuation from Hoth. Was his ship destroyed in the mad scramble off the planet or -- even more unthinkable -- has he deserted? Wedge Antilles can't believe either one and he's sure that Luke will return. But meantime he has been thrust into the role of Red Leader.

Career Choice by Pat Nussman. Han and Leia have come to the realization that any children they have will be pawns of the New Republic and Luke's New Jedi Order. Together they reach a painful decision.

Falling by MJ Mink, art by Nancy Stasulis. Fan Q and Star Award Winner. Luke has been captured by Vader who undertakes his son's education regarding the Jedi and the Dark Side of the Force. The longer he listens, the more sense Vader begins to make and Luke realizes that his much-feared father has a lot more knowledge to impart than Obi-Wan or Yoda ever would have told him. Can he reach a balance without succumbing to evil?

The House in the Woods by Marti Schuller. Star Award Honorable Mention. Luke is on a much needed vacation on a pastoral planet and finds great peace in a small village. But there is a house in the woods shunned by the villagers and from it he senses pain and sadness. Unable to keep away, he finds a lonely young woman in need of love and the healing spirit of a gentle Jedi.

Luke-a-Palooza by Mary Jo Fox. Star Award Winner. The Jedi Academy has this cash flow problem, see, and Luke thinks he's found a way to raise capital. First you get all these great bands together, then you find an empty field...

The Last of the Jedi by Z. P. Florian, art by Laura Virgil. What would have happened if Kenobi hadn't been killed on the Death Star and had been able to continue Luke's training as a Jedi? What sort of Jedi Knight would Luke have become?

Time by MJ Mink. The Force was growing stronger in Luke but there was one aspect he hadn't expected -- the ability to feel the pain and deaths of every pilot, either Imperial or Rebel, that was killed around him in battle. Could he learn to control this or would he be doomed to suffer this unexpectedly personal side of war forever?

Shifting Sands by Veronica Wilson. Vader has seen so much death and destruction that even he was beginning to crumble under its weight. Palpatine couldn't afford to lose his most valuable servant. Could he pull the Dark Lord back from the precipice of madness before it was too late?

On the Side of Light by Martie (Benedict) O'Brien, art by Dani. Star Award Winner. Optyl was not a nice place, a planet whose rotation caused one side to always face its sun, the other side to always face away. Life was only possible in a narrow strip between the two extremes. And now a religious war seemed ready to break out there as well. So, why had Han Solo accepted a consignment to haul a load of religious artifacts in to one of the warring sides while the other was fanatically determined to stop him? Well, being destitute had a way of making a man do some pretty desperate things to stay alive...
