How things change. Back in 1978, when the official Star Wars Fan Club was formed, the mind-blowing news that the Star Wars sequel was in production had just been announced. Flyers hyping the fan club promised news of fan events and conventions (none came until 1987 and the 10th Anniversary event). Star Wars on television consisted of the one and only showing of the Star Wars Holiday Special and guest appearances made by the the actors on a variety of TV shows. Del Rey had just released the second Star Wars novel, Splinter of the Mind’s Eye, while Brian Daley was hard at work writing his magnificent Han Solo trilogy. No internet. No podcasts. Just one dozen iconic 12 backs. We had poster magazines and Marvel Comics, but then along came something that would soon become a big deal: Bantha Tracks.Let’s start this retrospective and take a look at some of the various items of clothing and decals that were available through the Official Star Wars Fan Club, starting with a T-shirt that any fan worth their salt will recognize immediately.
