Millennium is a gen Star Wars 52-page zine with some Buck Rogers and Galactica 1980 content.
On the cover, "The Falcon Soars." Also on the cover, "#1," though this was the only issue published.
The art is by Tracy Christensen and Kim Carnes.
The zine is beautifully typeset, as the editor worked in layout for a small town newspaper where she had both the equipment and assistance of her co-workers (who she points out were enthusiastic and helpful, but were not fans...).
An ad asking for submissions for a second issue appeared in Jundland Wastes #2. This second issue was never published. It was to have had fiction by Tracy Christensen, Kim Carnes and Alma Hendricks.

From the editorial:
I wrote off to Ellen Blair, editor of Falcon's Flight and Tracy & Nancy Duncan, creators of Against the Sith. They were all really great and gave me information that I needed to get "Millennium" off the ground. Facts on copyrights, permission to use certain materials, how to figure costs, and the hundreds of other problems that come with the challenge [of publishing a zine]. I do appreciate their help.

- The Other, article by Tracy Christensen (The topic is speculation as to who is The Other: The last paragraph: "As I see it, there is no way to even suppose who "the other" is. George Lucas has not left any type out of his saga. He's got an innocent young man, a willful Princess, a sophisticated older man, a wise old alien, and a dead old Jedi. So I have gone over a few rumors concerning this mysterious new character, getting no closer to supposing who it is than anyone else. Mr. Lucas, you devil, how could you do this to us?")
