The new at his galaxy far, far away.
The eight-issue comic launching Sept. 4 is an adaptation of Lucas’ first rough draft from May 1974 of a story that imagines galactic drama between an all-encoming Empire, the fledgling rebel alliance forming to fight it, an ancient order of Jedi and the evil Sith warriors tapped to wipe out those Jedi.
“”You can teach a college course on how he got from that story to his first Star Wars film” in 1977, saysThe Star Wars writer J.W. Rinzler, an executive editor at LucasBooks.
“Francis Ford Coppola read the rough draft and thought it was pretty good. He wasn’t really sure why George was changing it.”
