So I bought Episode 1's comic first, but wanted to start at the real beginning.
These comics were released along with the movie, either just before (like [b:Star Wars - Episode IV: A New Hope|599090|Star Wars - Episode IV A New Hope|Alan Dean Foster|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1408936775s/599090.jpg|123227]) or just after the movie came out. I'm thinking before because it has some scenes that were later cut, and some scenes are very different. It also contains two kisses between Luke and Leia, neither of which were in the movie.
My favorite point has to be right at the end, when Leia's greeting the new heroes Luke and Han, and she goes from Luke to Han and flirts with him. Then Obi-wan sighs "something like a gratified sigh." SO IT WAS PLANNED! I died. Obi-wan saw the second kiss and went EW, BLAST I SHOULD'VE SAID SOMETHING.
Not so bad, as it's closer to the original version, a tad too close for me.

O Luke começa por parecer saído de um concurso de sósias do He-Man, o Han parece o Chico de «Uma Aventura» depois de ter alisado os caracóis com o Babyliss da Leia, e o Chewie um bigfoot com Alzheimer.
Na primeira parte embrulha-se todo o Ep. IV enquanto o Jabba esfrega um olho. Falando nisso: o Jabba é referido como Hutt mas quando se vê o Jabba é tão Hutt como a decisão do Portas foi irrevogável.
Mas a segunda... c'um camandro! (É esta aliás a responsável pelas duas estrelas a mais com que esta review conta.)
Esta segunda metade (que segue as aventuras de Leia, Luke, Han e Chew no rescaldo de Yavin) alberga tanta kitschiness, participa de tal modo da doutrina «tão mau que é bom», que toda aquela saga em jeito de paródia aos «Sete Samurais» do Kurosawa - com um coelho carnívoro e um velho luco que se julga Cavaleiro Jedi (de seu nome Don-Wan Kihotay) entre a mitrada seleccionada - que deveria ser acompanhada pela imortal melodia do Preço Certo (tanã-tanããã, tanã-tanããã).

4 stars. Basically, it's Episode IV in a condensed trade comic and I adored it. I absolutely love the original Star Wars trilogy (Episode V will forever be my favorite) so I was so excited to pick this up. It was a lot of fun and the artwork was pretty good. The only thing I didn't like was the way Luke was drawn. He just looked really weird and off putting, but that's just me nitpicking. I liked that it had the dialogue from the film and also there were some panels where it was telling you what the characters were thinking at the time. I thought that was a great touch and helped add more to the characters. Overall, really fun read and I need to get my hands on the other two a.s.a.p.

Read this quite a while ago and just realized I never added it into my Goodreads shelves.

This graphic novel had a lot more of the storyline than the previous one that I read!! The graphics were awesome but the pages felt really weird. I think they were just too glossy but that’s just me being weird on the material!! I really enjoyed the story and felt like it did a really great job including the whole story Ive seen on screen a handful of times.
