If they republish the originals, that would make up for it a tad. (If only they could include the original ads and letters page.) It's still shabby treatment of the book that arguably turned Marvel's fortunes around in the 70's. They sold a ton of the movie adaptation, and it was reprinted so many times, I've lost count.

It's a safe bet Thomas and Chaykin don't benefit from this financially?

Weren't Chaykin and co trying to do something else so they sabotaged Star Wars, that's why ended up with so much delightful goofy nonsense?

What? Roy Thomas is the one who lobbied Stan Lee to adapt the movie in the first place. And this is after Lucas initially approached Marvel about a Star Wars comic and was turned down.
