6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Almost As You Remember It By Jason A. Miller In looking back, more of my childhood memories of the first "Star Wars" memory come from the comic book adaptation rather than the movie itself. I was only three years old the month that the movie was released, and, in pre-VCR households in the late '70s and early '80s, if I wanted to experience actual "Star Wars" on a daily basis, reading the comic book was the closest that I could ever get to the real thing.It didn't help that I only had a compilation version of the second half of the movie -- issues #4 through #6 of the adaptation. For years, I knew the last 45 minutes of "Star Wars" much better than I did the beginning.So I nearly jumped out of my seat when I saw that there was a hardback edition of the complete comic-book run, all 6 issues in a single keeper volume. Now, the new book isn't *quite* the way that the comics were in 1977 -- the book has been "completely remastered and newly colored" and, unless I am seriously misremembering from 35-ish years ago, some of the wording has been changed (I dimly recall hearing that Stormtrooper TK-421 was originally called THX-1138 in the original comic; he's "TX-421" here, splitting the difference). The Death Star explosion seems taken from the Special Edition, not the original film.Otherwise, the work really stands the test of time. Howard Chaykin's artwork is largely faithful to the original (Chewbacca is a bit more feral and vicious-looking here), and Roy Thomas' script remains jaw-droppingly powerful, particularly as he narrates he attack on the Death Star in issue #6 ("Biggs' X-fighter bursts into a billion glowing splinters that rain down upon the bottom of the night-dark trench! What was it Luke said to Biggs, a short eternity ago? `You'll always be the best friend I've got.' ") Ini ts way, this adaptation really is as powerful as the original movie. There's nary a wasted panel nor dialogue balloon here.Note that this was based on the earliest, pre-May 1977, scripts and cuts of the film. Deleted scenes (minus 20 minutes of Shelagh Fraser pouring out blue milk) are all here -- Luke and Biggs meeting on Tatooine, un-hamstrung by Garrick Hagon's woeful attempt at an American accent; Jabba the Hutt is still diminutive actor Declan Mulholland, drawn with an ill-fitting rubber mask; the X-wing fighters are Blue Group, not Red; and, of course, the only way it was ever meant to be, and the way that it should still be today -- Han shoots Greedo first.

It covers the events of A New Hope in addition to some scenes not in the movies. Fans will enjoy seeing segments only seen in deleted scenes or the radio dramatization. There are also small differences and inconsistencies with films that I enjoyed picking out. The remastered colors give the classic style a more modern look. I vastly prefer the new remastered coloring to the old, original coloring. You can do a Google image search to decide for yourself. I would guess that most people will prefer the updated coloring, especially if their eyes are used to modern comics.

Swint "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."In 1975, a meeting was held between a representative of a film company in the process of making a science fiction movie and the producers of comics from a major publisher. The first meeting was followed by a second meeting in which the principal negotiators involved agreed to create a new comic book series based on the upcoming film. These negotiators, Charles Lippincott, Media Supervisor for Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox Studios, Stan Lee, Publisher for Marvel Comics, and Roy Thomas, a writer and editor for Marvel Comics, all hoped the comic would be a success and help promote the new film that would premiere in May of 1977. The movie was called "Star Wars.""Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope" is a special hardcover book reprinting the original 6 issues of the Marvel Comic version of the now classic 1977 film, adapted by writer Roy Thomas and penciller Howard Chaykin. Because of the surprising, unprecedented success of the movie, written and directed by George Lucas, these particular comics shared in that popularity. Thus, they have been reprinted many times in different formats. This compilation is different from past collections because the comics have been "remastered and newly colored by SotoColor." From a certain point of view, Marvel Comics has created the first of its own version of the controversial "Special Editions" of the original film trilogy, to appeal to comic readers of "the modern age." Considering the enduring appeal of the "Star Wars" Saga has lasted through many incarnations, past, present and future, this long-time fan questions the need to, at the least, promote this volume as an attempt to reach a new audience, while a more cynical critic could see this book as more of an opportunity to make money off a cherished cultural icon. Nevertheless, this lover of "Star Wars" approached this publication primarily from an artistic perspective, enticed by the possibility of seeing this comic work rendered with the color and printing techniques of the 21st century.For the most part, this recolored re-imagining of this decades old comic adaptation is a rewarding reading experience. For example, the revised version of the coloring of the cover of "Star Wars" #1, illustrated by Howard Chaykin and Tom Palmer, is a vast improvement over the original. Gone is the green hued (!) helmet of the Dark Lord of the Sith and the hair buns of Princess Leia are no longer rendered in red. The tones and shades showcased on the cover to the "Star Wars" comic's premiere issue demonstrates the advances in color reproduction featured in the entirety of this special volume. The collected work as a whole has a more vibrant quality than could be achieved during the time these comics were first published. Still, this old comic fan does think some of the charm of the original comics has been sacrificed to bring this wellknown tale into the so-called "modern age."The fun of this first recorded "adventure of Luke Skywalker" remains but so do some of the shortcomings of the original artwork. Specifically, the comic adaptation's original art team. While Mr. Chaykin provided full pencil and ink illustrations to the first issue of "Star Wars," inker Steve Leialoha would become inker on the succeeding issues #2-5, and Mr. Chaykin's pencils would be embellished by Rick Hoberg and Bill Wray for issue #6, the final chapter of the movie adaptation. This is not a negative critique of the artwork created by the team of illustrators. But this artistic inconsistency in the first 6 "Star Wars" comics was a regrettable trend in some Marvel Comics of this era, a comic production flaw that, in this reviewer's opinion, undermined a sustained enjoyment of their comics from issue to issue. The reader felt a degree of uncertainty over what the comic they were buying would look like from one comic to the next. The "Star Wars" comic was lessened as a fun reading experience due to this lack of artistic stability.From a writing standpoint, Roy Thomas translated the grand sense of adventure of the movie well to the comic page. The film's partial roots in the movie serials from Hollywood of the 1930's was recreated in the comic's 6 part retelling of the film's story. The reader is also rewarded with scenes featured in the comic that were edited out of the final film. Of special note is a look at Luke's life on Tatooine, and his friendship with Biggs Darklighter. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Chaykin's comic rendition of this character was probably the first time fans of the movie saw the dashing figure of Luke's bestfriend before the publication of The Star Wars Storybook, released in 1978, which reproduced photos of Luke and Biggs together on Tatooine, taken from unused film from the movie.This hardcover book also includes a bonus section of artwork that includes reproductions of the original art created for some of the early "Star Wars" comic covers as well as reprints to some of the covers to other past collected editions of the "Star Wars" movie adaptation. Plus as an added treat, selected covers to the "Star Wars UK Weekly" reprint magazine Marvel published in Great Britain are featured, artwork rarely seen outside that island nation.This collection features a lush cover painting by Adi Granov, with yet another recolored reproduction of the premiere issue cover on the back by Edgar Delgado.In conclusion, for fans of the comic book version of the first "Star Wars" Saga, both young and old, this unique reprint edition provides another chance to enjoy this beloved tale once again in a whole new way.May the Force be with you, always!
