Before Star Wars, there was The Star Wars! This is the authorized adaptation of George Lucas’s rough-draft screenplay of what would eventually become a motion picture that would change the world.

Annikin Starkiller is the hero . . . Luke Skywalker is a wizened Jedi general . . . Han Solo is a big green lizard . . . and the Sith . . . Well, the Sith are still the bad guys. High adventure and derring-do from longer ago, in a galaxy further away!

* After launching to rave reviews The Star Wars #1 sells out!

* Dark Horse goes back to press for a 2^nd printing, this time with a completely stripped down Nick Runge cover.

“A timeless tale and a refreshing addition to the franchise.” —Comics: The Gathering

“Its good pulpy fun, much like the original Star Wars was.” —cxPulp

"It all works together to create an interesting looking new universe inspired by the original one we love." —IGN

"Fans of the real "Star Wars" won't dare miss it, and rightly so; it's also worth checking out for anybody who likes a good space opera."—Comic Book Resources

"The Star Wars' is a pretty fun sci-fi comic. If I had no prior knowledge about how the story actually turned out, I think I'd just as interested and invested in how this story ends as I am now." —ScienceFiction.com
