Hey! No green light for me!? I was so proud of my clever retort!
It's about the level of innuendo, not the cleverness. But consider it fixed. And remember that you asked for it...
Yes! The Humor can be strong in this one....
-Someone, someday, needs to bring back the LIGHT SIDE to Star Wars. Has anyone else noticed striking similarites between the character of Anakin/Vader and George Lucas, or is it just me?
-It's called STAR WARS. NOT "Episode IV: A New Hope". Kids, get this straight.
-Please read the Archie Goodwin daily SW comics: Too good to be forgotten!
I'm still at yellow light? Son of a Frink!!

They did do reprints of the Marvels, but with new duller coloring than the originals.
Weird. That looks like the books I have, but it doesn't sound like the books I have.
I already mentioned the reprint info on the inside flap, and the credits are completely different (unless Episode IV just happened to have completely different credits from the other two).

Neat, I didn't know pressing shift+return bypassed the extra <br>.
Also, I'm skimming through real quick, and I don't see any SE changes in Jedi. Even the Sarlacc looks like it's supposed to, no beak or anything.

LOL. I love how the description says the 97 Jabba scene is amazing...when it's one of the worst CGI scenes I've ever seen in my entire life!

No Coruscant celebration, or Tatooine denizens dancing in 120 degree heat? ;)
It's possible they went to press before getting to see all the SE changes, or Lucasfilm wanted to keep a couple things under wraps. IIRC, Marvel was asked not to show the Wampa's face or the asteroid slug back in the day.

When George Lucas made the first Star Wars motion picture, a scene was shot wherein Han Solo met Jabba the Hutt. But as any Star Wars fan knows, Jabba didn't appear until the third film, Return of the Jedi. Lucas had hit the technological wall -- he couldn't craft Jabba the way he wanted, so he simply removed the scene from his initial, ground-breaking movie. Now, two decades later, he has taken that footage -- with a young Harrison Ford portraying a brash Han Solo -- and added Jabba to it. The result is incredible. The hair will stand up on the back of your neck, and you'll feel twenty years younger as you experience that remarkable thrill all over again.
They re-did the adaption of Star Wars but kept the original adaptions of ESB and ROTJ. It's a little odd but makes sense. To replace Al Williamson's work would be criminal. From what I can recall they wanted to have Al redo the adaption all himself because he didn't have anything to do with the original and they wanted an artistic continuity between all three. But Al declined because he didn't think he'd be able to do as good a job as he'd like. Despite this they went ahead with a new adaption anyway and were successful in convincing Al to do inking.
While I can appreciate the sentiment I think they should have left well enough alone since they couldn't convince Al to do the penciling. The artist who replaced him's work is very loose and doesn't jive at all with Al's adaptions. It also places a very heavy emphasis on featuring the special edition's changes over focusing on what's happening in the story. Howard Chaykin's adaption may not be on the same level as Al's but at least it had character.
Howard Chaykin, who launched untold numbers of false memories about seeing the Biggs scenes in the theater. And he also gave us Jaxxon. :)
Thanks for clearing that up, Tobar. Interestingly enough, the Walmart exclusive DVD set came with a reprint of the Marvel book. Although maybe it was meant to compliment the "bonus disc".

Ah, that makes more sense.
Now I feel a lot less bummed that they didn't have the first book.
