Volume One, which includes both "Doomworld" [waterworld] and "The Hunter" [Valance the bounty hunter] in it.

I think this one goes awry because it tries to incorporate all the films before two of them happened. So for example Jabba in these comics will be depicted as the over-sized slug we all know and love. But when 'A New Hope' was made, Jabba was played by a portly human actor and ended up on the cutting room floor (though Lucas does suggest he was thinking of doing something in the editing stage of production to him). So that's why he was never seen in the first run of comics. I think they should have done something similar with these comics. I too used to read the weekly for my love of Star Lord and the other side-strips. Though the Star Wars story set on the water-world with the pirates and serpents was superb and I always thought that would have made a good film in its own right.

How many times are they going to do this I wonder, as an avid collector at the time of the old Star Wars Weekly series in the seventies I can still remember how the story began to veer off in all directions after issue 12 (the end of the first film) with Han Solo leaving and going off to pack back Jabba and then getting involved in a fight for a small community and recruiting hires guns (like the magnificent seven). In fact I cant remember how or even if they managed to drag the story back in line by the time "Empire" came out and the comic version of that started, I seem to remember getting a bit bored with the comic story towards the end of my buying it (not long after issue 100) and being much more into the other guest strips that appeared in the comic such as Gardians of the galaxy, Were Stone, Micronauts, Star lord, Deathlok and Wartoy etc..Dick Garrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653744597413710281noreply@blogger.com
