May The Panel Be With You

The debate is on about whether this is the worst issue of Marvel's original Star Wars series we have read thus far! It certainly ain't good. Unless you really wanted Darth Vader depicted like a Hanna-Barbera cartoon villain, in which case it will never get better than this.

We're halfway through our trip down memory lane in the alternate reality where this was the sequel to the original Star Wars film. This week we talk about efficient Imperials and learn all about the Yuzzem. Don't worry kids, we've got Wookies at home!

This week we start our coverage of the sequel that never was as we discuss the comic book adaptation of the 1978 novel of the same name. The first piece of the Expanded Universe may not necessarily be the best, let's just put it that way...

Time to finish up our coverage of The Empire Strikes Back (at least this adaptation of it). Prepare for some harsh Comics Code editing and some weird art choices as we enter a bold new era in which the Star Wars franchise now consists of two whole movies!
