Its original incarnation, the Official Star Wars Fan Club Newsletter, was distributed to members every two months; Bantha Tracks was distributed quarterly. The first two years of Bantha Tracks were edited and mainly written by Craig Miller, who was Director of Fan Relations for Lucasfilm from 1977 to 1980. The original Bantha Tracks ran for 35 issues until its discontinuation in 1987. Today, "Bantha Tracks" is a section in Star Wars Insider that displays fans' art and picture submissions.
