Does anyone know what “Star Wars Special Edition” is being referred to in this letters-page from Star Wars Weekly #10 in 1978?

I have a treasury sized issue that says something like that on the cover. It collects the whole back half of the adaptation. It’s a US book, though, so it could be something else.

Clearly Mr. Collins owns a time machine and that was a slip of the tongue. 😉

Maybe the UK had something similar? Plus it’s not impossible that he got a hold of the US “special edition”.

Star Wars is Surrealism, not Science Fiction (essay)

That is a very plausible theory , I have both the first and second issues of that Special Edition comic from here in the U.S. , As I understand it , it was published with both Marvel and a Whitman publishing logo , I think the Whitman may have been intended for big box stores like K-Mart etc. Not sure if Whitman extended to the U.K. so that would be something to research. Here is a link to a video review of the first issue of that 2 parter…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4M0CHSr4TE

I think I had the Whitman version, it was huge! It’s ungainly size made it hard to keep tucked in with my normal sized comic books.

i know Verta only likes the original Star Wars but i hope disney hires or consults him to do a proper restoration for ESB and ROTJ in time for the next big anniversary. It’d be great to see the films truly look their best once and for all.

Still wrong thread.

Well in Hayden Christensen - part of the Rest Of The World soccer team who played an England XI tonight as part of Soccer Aid - and helped to raise around £5.5m / $7.4m (as of full-time) for UNICEF.

Stephen Colbert’s star wars bit on the late show was not funny.

This one?:-

I found it somewhat funny - though the point it making was more important than the humour (for me, anyway).

On Hayden’s profile pic for the Soccer Aid it also has his weakness down as ‘tendency to choke😉
 

Fair play to him for doing it - not easy playing alongside some world-class talented legends of the game - and fellow celebrities, many who’ve also played to a decent level. He gave up a week to do it (training and bonding together etc) and did a good job for his team, and was decent himself.

 

A tenuous Solo link…

Wood Harrelson scored the winning penalty in a previous Soccer Aid game - I don’t think he was quite sure what he was doing - or meant to be doing - but looks like he had a lot of fun doing it:-
