Two issues in August and September 1994 reprinting the six-part Marvel adaptation from Star Wars (1977) #39–44 — the artistic high point of the original licence.

Who is in it
Encyclopedia entries for the figures this run develops.
Luke Skywalker
The farm boy the whole shelf is built around — and the character the two continuities disagree about most.
Leia Organa
A politician first, a fighter by necessity, and the character the novels have served best.
Han Solo
The genre’s most durable scoundrel, and a surprisingly hard character to write well in prose.
Darth Vader
Two characters in one suit, and the publishing programme has spent fifty years arguing about the seam.
