Telesponder is a UK Star Wars club zine of art and news.

It has sister zines called Scenario_(Star_Wars_zine), Galaxy Travellers and Force Sensitive.

One of the issues contains "Extracts from the Diary of Ran Dangor" by Gerold Crotty which was reprinted in Bright Center of the Universe #4 in 1993.

The zine did not use issue numbers, and instead were distinguishable by their date of publication.

A 1999 Issue

Another great Telesponder cover. Subsequent consultation between MoY agents reveals it to be from 'Shadows of the Empire'

Some highlights: Internal Affairs, prequel news (Ray Park forced to cancel Empire One Day at Cheshunt, Ralph Brown as a Naboo pilot!), Lines of Comment, adjusted for inflation box-office all time figures (SW: ANH was number 2), Blade - Vampire Hunter & Darth Maul - Sith Lord, Lobot's Tech Page, The Cappachino Machine Strikes Back by Jane High, Anoat Review: Jason Grant on VCD - The Forgotten Film Formet, Mark Richards on ROTJ Illustrated Scripts, Bag of Bones by Steven King.

Also on the page is Jason's review of "Star Wars: The Arcade Game" (Atari ST version) - a conversion of the classic 1983 arcade machine.

• Page 1: "News" - The lead item is that the club named had changed! As Jason writes at the top of the page, "We have left the DRAGON-BUSTERS' era, and our new title is 'D-B: The Moons of Yavin'. Although D-B means Dragon-Busters, A.I. will never refer to it in full. It's just a link to our first years. Thankyou for all your suggestions." Next up was information about the new film "Postcards From the Edge", based on Carrie Fisher's best selling book. Also, Harrison Ford's new thriller, "Presumed Innocent" gets a mention. Staying with Ford, Jason writes about how much he loved seeing "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" at the cinema and he thought it was a better film than "Return of the Jedi". He mentions the scene where young Indy gets his famous scar, and there is a photo of Indy and his father played by Sean Connery. Staying with film, Joe Johnston, former ILM art director gets a mention due to his involvement with the film "Honey I Shrunk the Kids". Regarding computer games, the 8-bit version of "Star Wars: The Arcade Game" and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" tie-ins are discussed. Lastly, Jason reports that the official Lucasfilm fan club hasn't been giving fans outside of North America a good service and asks members to help him investigate.
• Page 2: "Internal Affairs" - covers membership: A review of the scores for the Junior Star Wars test, with one member getting 66% (Jamie) and the other getting 82% (Tystan.) The scores meant that both members were promoted to a new rank (Lieutenant Second Grade.) A question regarding a possible Star Wars fan get-together: to see if members wanted one to take place. Next up is a rather heady few lines, where Jason addresses critisim from a couple of members who weren't happy with the content and direction of the fanzines. They seemed to dislike like anything beyond the core "Star Wars-mythos". Jason states that the club will continue along the same lines as it has always done to promote Star Wars fandom beyond that. Next is a list of current Lucasfilm personnel involvement in TV/films in the August/September 1989, such as "Batman". Telesponder production credits appear at the bottom of the page.

• Page 2: "Internal Affairs" - covers membership: Jason welcomes members to the last issue of the year and explains (for the benefit of new members) that this is the official publication for the club. Four new members are listed along with their entry rank: Gerald Crotty, Douglas Burke, Derek Tate, and Rik Blakey. A review of the Area Security Chief test was covered. With a score of 96 points, Toria Hills was promoted to the role following Andrea Swinsco's decision to stop. Jamie Spracklen received 69.5 points and Matthew Argent got 75 points. Another test covered was the Voluntary Star Wars test. Points: Matthew (95) Nigel (100) and Gerald (87 points.) In the "Telesponder" section, Jason explains that the club works best when members get involved, and the publications always require regular contributions. He requested various artwork for covers and for inside the issues. In the "Various" section, he reports that it had been a good year for members meeting up, becoming pen-pals, and some helping out with running the club. Two members (Andrea Swinsco and Jamie Spracklen) worked on 'Project Contact', a task to get in touch with foreign Star Wars fan clubs. The results of this would appear in a future issue. Jason and Matthew had been working on updating the datasheets. In 1990, Jason hopes that the club can organise a national pen-pal network for Star Wars fans. Lastly, Jason requests that no mail is sent in over the Christmas period as it would be caught in the Christmas rush! Telesponder production credits appear at the bottom of the page.

Jason talks about how "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" was picked as part of the intial list of films to be protected by the US National Film Preservation Board, a key cinema preservation project which stated in 1989. Lucasfilm's Sprocket Systems (sound design) new office locations are discussed. Also, there is a round-up of Lucasfilm personnel's involvment in other recent projects: Dick Durrock (from "Ewoks Battle for Endor") in "Swamp Thing", special Effects maestro Richard Edlund for "Solar Crisis", Joe Johnston's film "Honey, I Shrunk the Kid"s being released in the UK in the Spring, Irvin Kershner making "RoboCop 2", and artist Ralph McQuarrie's work on the new Clive Barker horror film "Nightbreed". Following on from this, Jason reviews the "Star Wars: The Arcade Game" conversion for the 8-bit Atari 800XL computer. He concludes it was a good effort but didn't run as smooth as the 16-bit versions. Turning to "Internal Affairs", there is a brief note about the new Telesponder logo and that Gerald's design was chosen from three designs that were sent it (others came from Steven Boyes and Derek Tate.) Telesponder production credits appear at the bottom of the page.

• Page 4: "Star Wars Fan Network" - Here is a list of people that answered the advert in Starburst magazine and were happy to be part of the Star Wars Fan Network, 29 in total.

• Page 5: "Voluntary Test" - 15 questions dived into three sections: The Empire Strikes Back, Who Said This, and Optional.

• Page 1: "Intro" - Jason reports that the plan of retiring the club had been overturned and it will continue. The May test scores are up next, with seven members getting very good to excellent scores and with that a handful of force points got handed out. Next up, a request for no more articles covering the subject of Star Wars being science fiction or fantasy, as that brought about some complaints. However, he does state that kind of discussion article is interesting and should continue. Lastly, a renaming of part of the club means that Dragon-Buster Research Unit becomes Alliance Intelligence. "News" - The current theme for the Lucasfilm Fan Club is "The Empire Strikes Back" as it is celebrating the 10th anniversary. Two Star Wars fanzines are bring produced, 'Trilogy Times' and 'Star Wars Fans United'. George Lucas has been in London to discuss the production of an Indiana Jones TV series. Regarding other Lucasfilm people, Jason mentions Frank Marshall directing "Arachnaphobia", and Anthony Daniels appearing in the British film, "I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle". Next up is a request for membership renewals, followed by an idea from Derek to produce a history of the club, which Jason likes.
• Page 2: "Untitled page (various items)" - Jason starts this page in slightly despondent mood, explaining why he mentioned being disillusioned with the club recently. This was to do with him doing club work for so long and struggling with parts of the production, such as thinking of test questions and the DBR files. Things get a bit happier next, as he mentions contact from the Star Wars Fan Network and one particular letter from Manjula, who had visited a location from "Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom" in Sri Lanka, a visit that resulted in something unexpected! Following this, he mentions Project Holonet and planning a future Star Wars convention, which would be in the form of a meet-up at another general Science Fiction convention already running, such as Mexicon or Eastercon. A mention goes to the progress of other fanzines and clubs such as Tydirium, Kashyyyk and the SW/Indy Fan Club, all currently delayed for various reasons. Lastly, he mentions a member requesting the first parts of a story that had been printed, and another member requesting shops/mail order details for Star Wars: the Role Playing Game sourcebooks.

"News" - A look at what Star Wars alumni are up to, including Harrison Ford starring in "Presumed Innocent" and about to star in "Regarding Henry", ILM's work on "Die Hard 2: Die Harder", and other ex-ILM special effects staff who worked on "Gremlins 2: The New Batch". "Internal Affairs" - Jason congratulated Toria and Jamie for producing the August issue of 'Scenario' and the general running of the club over his summer holiday.

Following this are member birthday greetings, and then the Force point and rank table.

"Good Samaritan of What" - Jamie Spracklen covers serveral bits and pieces here, including a defence of the television show "Battlestar Galactica", a question about the 'Kashyyk' fanzine, and thoughts about a future sci-fi convention where fans and club members could meet up.

• Page 5: "Operation White Dwarf" - continuation from Page 2. "Project S.E.E.R. and Blaster plan" - Here, Jason proposed an idea of a park meet for Star Wars fans and friends from the London and South-East of England areas, where they could get together to eat and chat, and play a game of 'find the enemy'. The players would be split into teams of Rebels and Imperials, with the Imperial players tasked to find the rebel players; bascially an extended intergalactic game of hide and seek! Jason asked the members for their opionion on this.
