I’m pulling my weight, too (or hope I am). I think fans are going to enjoy all this - from the most serious fan to the most casual fan, and perhaps the youngest fan - because George told such a cool, accessible story, and because Mike and Rain are doing such fantastic work. Hats off to Randy Stradley at Dark Horse for finding Mike, and to Mike for recommending Rain. I’m in the middle of adapting issue #5 in the eight-issue arc. As of today artist Mike Mayhew has finished pages for the first issue and is starting on issue #2, roughing in the action colorist Rain Beredo is about half way done on issue #1. The series will be eight issues long and you can get your hands on #1 this September.By now most fans are aware that George Lucas has given us permission to adapt his rough draft for The Star Wars, which he wrote in 1974. “We are been totally faithful to George’s script, which is incredibly action packed with complex characters we’ve never met before!” “I thought I knew a lot about Star Wars, but I had no idea,” Mayhew tweeted. Years later, with Dark Horse’s invaluable help, we showed him a few drawn and colored pages of what it might look like. “While working with George on another book project, I once asked if we could adapt his rough draft. His first complete imaginings were hallucinating to read-mind blowing,” said writer J.W. “While researching in the Lucasfilm Archives I’ve found many treasures-but one which truly astounded me was George’s rough draft for The Star Wars. “I’m not sure where I first read about The Star Wars-it was years and years ago-but the idea of Luke Skywalker being an older Jedi General, and Han Solo being a six-foot-tall lizard, turned my Star Wars fan brain on its side,” said longtime Star Wars editor Randy Stradley. “I always assumed this would be one of those stories that would be ‘lost to history,’ so getting to work on bringing it to life is kinda like a dream come true.” A story of Jedi Annikin Starkiller and General Luke Skywalker, an alien named Han Solo, and evil Sith Knights. Three years before his 1977 film, George Lucas put down on paper his first story set in a galaxy far, far away-a tale of fantastic adventures, daring escapes, “lazer swords,” romance, and monsters.
