Can he overcome the challenges surrounding the creation of a rebel base on Yavin IV? Darth Vader is on the hunt for the stolen Death Star plans, but he doesn't expect to cross paths with Princess Leia…or Darth Maul! And Imperial pilot Biggs Darklighter is on the run. Discover how Biggs became one of the Rebellion's greatest X-Wing pilots! The comics adaptation of A New Hope and more!
A decent epic collection, especially for fans of the original movie. My highlights of this collections are the Biggs Darklighter comics, as well as the special edition adaptation of A New Hope. The rest of the collection was hit or miss. I know some people like the sillier comics like Tag and Bing and Tales (the infamous Skippy the Jedi Droid issue is in this collection), but those have never been my favorite.
The Empire comics and the comic version of A New Hope were good but I didn't care for the Tales comics at the end. Star Wars has been parodied to death and the humour in the comics seems like its half trying to be serious and half trying to be funny most of the time and it doesnt work.
