The Dark Horse Classic Star Wars reprints are pretty cool. I guess you could say they're somewhat abridged. They were edited together and the repetitive panels that repeated dialog and story elements were removed. They're not really missed since really it was just the same thing said in a different way. What's nice about them though is that they got Al Williamson himself to work on it. So there are brand new panels he drew to better format the strip to the standard comic page. I myself prefer reading them in their original format. Color isn't needed, his art looks fantastic in black and white.
