Star Wars #4: In Battle with Darth Vader

[zero_elec]

5 out of 17 pages, behind the cut.
(Am I allowed to cut pages pages in half to show half of two pages? I hope so...)


Han, Luke, Leia and Chewbacca are trapped by Imperial Storm Troopers


(I love C-3P0's poses, they're so out of character. Also, Leia.)

The walls of the trash compactor start closing in, but they're saved by R2-D2



The four get attacked by more Storm Troopers, but Han and Chewbacca, chase them off, hoping to give them time to escape to the ship.


(Umm...)

Ben, meanwhile confronts Darth Vader.





(Vader is so perplexed; it's kind of endearing.)

Luke cries out Ben's name and tries to go to him but is stopped by Leia and the voice of Ben. Aboard the Millenium Falcon, they head toward the moons of Yavin.

Oh if you thought that kiss is awkward, wait til the Marvel "Empire" comics~ ;)

Aw come on, people. It was just an innocent good-luck kiss.

With some tongue. But only a little.

Yeah, people do that all the time. You can post pieces of pages, as long as the total is within the limits.

Also, what is Obi-Wan's robe made of, since Vader's lightsaber isn't burning through it?

I wonder if the kiss thing was something from the original script that didn't make it into the final film.

And I do love Vader poke-poking at Ben's empty cloak like he's trying to figure out where he went.

No the Kiss was in the movie it was just a quick peck though... not as sultry as the comic makes it out to be...

The bit that always stuck with me from this comic from when I had it as a kid was the line, about the spoon.

It's kinda hilarious now that we now Vader is the chosen one who is more powerful than any Jedi EVAR, and especially cause he basically had the chance to become the embodiment of the force itself when he met the Force Wielders...

And you know I thought I could quote the entire movie verbatim, but I always thought she said, "Somebody has to save us kids."

Anyone who finds these kisses awkward should remember that it wasn't until writing Jedi that Lucas decided Luke and Leia were siblings. NO ONE writing before that painfully contrived little bombshell was dropped can be held truly accountable for it, except perhaps Lucas, especially after he'd already written their passionate smooch in Empire.

Forgot how much more freaky-lookin' Kenobi's death is here as compared to the movie. (IIRC, they did the scene in the movie by setting up his robe on a sort of wire frame that would collapse in on itself when it was hit.)
