Managed to get another issue of Star Wars Weekly during my last day in the UK.
I bought the other 2/3 of the “Princess Alone” story last year, and finally got to “complete” the story.
I’ve always really liked this story. Not only was it nice to the Leia do a “solo” mission for a change, but it was interesting to get to see the more “Orwellian” aspects of the Empire, especially in a story so early on in SW history. In many ways it’s a lot darker than most of what followed in the EU later on.
I think that’s the story that planted the idea in my mind THX-1138 could fit into the SW universe somehow. 😃
