Not the best adaptation of the movie. It relies on you having seen Star Wars already to fill in missing panels in the story. Having All Williamson ink over Eduardo Barreto's pencils was an extremely good idea. It gave the book the look of the old 1970's Marvel series that Al Williamson also drew.
From the Almighty GIPThis the adaptation of the movie with the same name and it follows the narrative of the movie very closely. The characters do have an astonishing similarity with the actors of the movie, this graphic novel it's a way of reliving the sensation of the big screen in paper.Pros: Quick and fun read. Great art and style that makes all the scenes clear and easy to follow.Cons: Feels a bit rushed, i would be better with a couple more pages, but since it's truthfull to the source mat...
It has so much more than the movie could tell. You felt all the the young Luke felt in the ride to the Death Star - a must for anyone who loves the movie!!
Not bad, but I agree with another review I read - not only do the comics not add anything to the story in regards to characters stories, thoughts, motivations,etc. I think you actually get more out of the movies. One hint I also noticed was that a lot of the better known scenes - like the “these are not the droids you’re looking for” scene - were left out entirely, or only vaguely referenced, which seems odd. Maybe because they though everyone would know the scene already & the could save on the...

I only gave this 3 stars because ANH is an amazing movie, the graphic novel itself was poorly constructed. They cut some legendary lines, and when you look at the drawings you realize they expect you know what's happening because they're not clear enough to see what's really happening (ie. When Obi-Wan dies, if you don't know what just happened, it's not obvious at all!). Also, it specifically says this is SE - yet Biggs' scene with Luke is cut entirely. I don't quite understand how they decided...

In 1997, the original Star Wars trilogy was rereleased in theaters as a remastered special edition with additional scenes added and special effects revised. This is the graphic novel of the special edition of Episode IV: A New Hope, the first Star Wars movie released back in 1977. It's the most famous science-fiction movie ever made and will always be a classic.The story concerns Luke Skywalker, a young boy living on a space farm who is thrust into the middle of intergalactic civil war between t...
A little let downI had high hopes but the pencils left me pining for the first Marvel adaption. And there isn’t must special edition here. Sadly, Al and Carlos only ink. The poster art was great.
This 40 year anniversary hardcover edition compiles issues 1-4 of the original 1997 comics. This edition features some uncolored sketches as well as commentary. Bringing to life the original movie, A New Hope is the story of a water farmer named Luke who winds up being a savior to the galaxy. He learns about Jedi and snippets of his father from hermit and once-Jedi, Obi-wan Kenobi. At the loss of Kenobi, Luke feels lost in the world, but Kenobi is still with Luke through the Force. Luke learns t...
Eh. There is no originality here. Even the stuff from the novel is from the SE version from ‘97, which this is based on...so it’s all straight from the film. The worst thing is that enough is removed from this that not everything makes sense and I felt no connection to any of the characters.The art is very good and is why this is not 2 stars.
I thought it was really cool with a lot of explosions. Very fun to read. My favorite character was probably Darth Vader. I loved this book. It had 91 pages.
V souvislosti s uvedením speciální edice Star Wars: Nové naděje nechal Dark Horse před dvaceti lety vytvořit i speciální komiksovou edici - nejspíš hlavně proto, aby se v ní objevila nová, správná podoba Jabby Hutta namísto žlutého humanoida z původní marvelovské verze. Až na tuto drobnost ovšem původní komiksová verze válcuje tou novou na celé čáře. Z nového komiksu (zejména jeho první poloviny) totiž byly zcela vypuštěny některé klíčové momenty, řada dialogů byla zkrácena, došlo k vynechání mn...
A graphic novelization of 1997 A New Hope: Special Edition. Yes, Greedo shot first in this one. There was too much cut from the first half of the story. I didn't feel like any of the main characters were established really well. The ending battle drags endlessly - so many inconsequential details - they managed to make the Battle of Yavin dull.On a more positive note, I liked the the art - the 70s retro style suits the story just fine.2 stars for the story, + 1 star for the art.
4 starsA fairly standard adaptation that's a fun read for fans of the series.😊
