Force Sensitive is a gen Star Wars newsletter, published six times a year.

Previously, this zine was Gutter Rag, then became "Force Sensitive," and then became Galaxy Travellers. It is a sister zine to Telesponder.

Some History

From issue #25 (typos and misspellings are original to the zine):

One form or another, this Fanzine has been going out to STAR WARS fans for 25 issue's, since Febuary 1989 in fact. Over the years it has contained many pictures and story's from the member's of the "Moons of Yavin". FORCE SENSITIVE has another role as well, as a back up 'Zine for Telesponder, if for any reason, Telesponder cannot go ahead, hopefully Force Sensitive will keep jogging along. The member's involed with the runing of the "MOONS OF YAVIN" either in the role of Fanzine Editor or Public Relations etc think more of you then names on a Fanzine send-out list, some of you are Pen-Pals to each other, other's see each other at gatherings of likeminded fans etc. Some of you may wonder why our membership is the lowest of the three UK SW Groups, that is because we believe in a more personal, fanish approach to SW. For those of you who are first time member's, I hope you are enjoying the "Moons of Yavin."

Reactions and Reviews: Issue 23

I must say I'm very impressed with the standard of the fiction. [1]

It looks very good.[2]

The 'Zine came out much better than I thought it would. It was a great read, your Aces High story was exciting. [3]
