great haul ! Issue 35 Dark Lord’s Gambit will always be my version of how Vader learned Luke’s name. The droid world book is awesome too ! There is a channel on youtube that has it as well as pretty much all o the read along book and record/tape productions to date…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jjEm6g3FNw
Yeah, I always though it was interesting that Vader learning Luke’s name was described as “surprisingly underwhelming”, especially considering that ESB was released only a few months later.
Droid World has always been a favourite of mine, so I had to grab the read-along version just for fun. I’ve heard the record/cassette on YouTube before, but it’s fun to actually have the booklet. I’m also a big fan of the Frank Miller cover art. Retroactively it’s fun to see how many soon-to-be famous artists briefly worked on SW in the late 70’s / early 80’s (like John Byrne doing the cover for #13).
