I swear I’ve got some substantial Star Wars stuff coming, but in the meantime here’s a cool drawing from another comic.

Comic adaptations of films are interesting. They quite often used to contain scenes that didn't make the final film because the were usually based on earlier scripts with a selection of photos so they actually knew what they were drawing.

The Marvel adaptation of Star Wars has a unique version of Jabba in docking bay 94 because no one knew what he was going to look like.

Finally, if you want to see a poor comic adaptation, check out the one for Terminator 2, looks like it was drawn during a lunch break!
