Disney-Lucasfilm Press’ Star Wars: The Original Trilogy – A Graphic Novel, featuring all-ages comic book versions of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, is the latest addition to this legacy, and a major one. And we’re not just passively taking in the story anymore rather, we’re active participants - reading, admiring (and, if we want, studying) the art, and connecting the dots between panels. Sometimes a facial expression is heightened just a bit, giving us a new insight into a scene or character. Sometimes the film’s camera angles are recreated by the artist, sometimes they’re not. Indeed, they offer us another way to experience these movies we know so well. But these adaptations are not just straight-forward retellings. Comic book adaptations of the Star Wars films are something of a tradition, one dating all the way back to 1977 and Marvel’s very first Star Wars comics.
