Before Star Wars, there was The Star Wars! This is the authorized adaptation of George Lucas’ 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 alien...and the Sith...Well, the Sith are still the bad guys. High adventure and derring-do from longer ago, in a galaxy even further away!"The Star Wars #1 is set for release on September 4th.
