Star Wars Weekly 12




Star Wars Weekly #12 represents the twelfth installment within the Marvel UK Star Wars comic book series.

Mirroring the American Marvel Star Wars comic series, its initial storyline involved a serialized adaptation of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, but it was divided into twelve segments instead of the original six. This encompasses the latter portion of the narrative that was featured in the US publication, specifically Star Wars (1977) #6, which marked the conclusion of the cinematic adaptation.
