IIRC, when Dark Horse reprinted the newspaper strips in comic book form, there was similar reformatting going on.
I ever actually read the newspaper strips so don’t really know what they would have looked like originally, but I did recently find a comic from the early 90’s that contained one of the newspaper storylines by Archie Goodwin. I’m assuming that all they’ve done is put them all on the same page.
Maybe you, or someone else, could help give me some clues as to how they edited them from the originals;
I took this photo of some pages from the comic. It’s not a very good picture, but it shows how they’ve set it all up.

Oh, and compared to the images I shared above where they integrated the splash-pages into the other panels, it’s funny how in this Norwegian comic they’ve done the exact opposite and made a splash-page out of the newspaper strips/panels;

And wow, the lightsaber placement in front of Threepio’s crotch is too awkward to be random. 😉
Wow, I didn’t even notice.
At least it’s not as blatant as the old “Force Beam” ads from the 70’s.
