I take back my previous statement about the weirdest cover, this is by far the strangest one;

This is clearly the cover for issue #2 but with Luke re-drawn to look like Han and with Obi Wan’s head covered by a helmet. The other Colombian covers are the same as the originals (minus the colours) and this issue seems to come from after the movie adaptation so I have no idea what’s going on here.

in the blog , he explains that it translates to new planets and perils , which is issue 7 , the first comic after the movie . Ben has his head replaced with what is supposed to be the insect priest from that issue and his lightsaber is supposed to be is staff , they shortened Luke’s tunic a bit and put Han’s vest on him and changed te hair to brown . Yeah, it was a very weird choice to repurpose the cover to issue 2 like that . Keep going back a few pages and you will see more strange stuff !

Ah, that makes sense (sort of). It’s funny how Han talks to Chewie on the cover (I used google translate) despite him not being on the cover. It’s basically the same dialogue from the cover of #2, but with Han telling chewie to keep shooting. The spanish translation also seems to have interpreted “chewie” quite literally and used the word for chewing as his name. I first though “masca” might refer to a mask since I thought Ben was masked, but it seems to literally just say “chew”.
