Forgot that little detail. (Yet I remember Creepy Tiny Purple Concept Art Yoda that was in early press runs.) Given the comics were done without the advantage of having seen the films that may have been an abandoned script idea.
I also seem to recall Vader hearing Luke’s call to Ben for help before he requests his shuttle.Yes, that’s right! Wow, I had that original version (with purple Yoda). Wish I hadn’t given it up…
I have scans of those specific pages if you’re feeling nostalgic.
