Lucasfans is a gen multifandom and Star Wars zine. Its focus was Bigg's younger brother.
Ming Wathne commented on this zine in Southern Enclave #27:
There are two zines called LUCAS FANS #1 and #2 that deal with Biggs' younger brother. Outside of the library, I have not seen other copies, which is too bad because they did a great job blendinq and developing individual storylines that included Luke and Han. Unfortunately, Leia did not make out so well!

From the zine:
WOW. Our very own Fanzine. This issue marks a first for Mari-Barra Productions, as we branch out from films, slide presentations, and Boy Scout extravaganzas, to the printed page.
That George Lucas changed all our lives in May of 1977 is self-evident, from the contents of this issue. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank him for all the happy hours and new friends afforded us by the adventures of one young Luke Skywalker. A big thanks also goes to all who have contributed their time and talents for this, our first publishing attempt, including a special hug to Maggie Barra.
May the Force be with you all...
