Based on the original screenplay by George Lucas,
The Star Wars, is a re-imagining of what could have been. J.W. Rinzler adapts the original Lucas draft, with artist Mike Meyhew taking inspiration from the original designs by Ralph McQuarrie, Joe Johnston and John Mollo. Think of this as a "what if" storyline in the
Star Wars universe. This is
not your father's Luke Skywalker!
