Reddit reviews The Star Wars

Based on "The Star Wars" ( http://www.amazon.com/The-Star-Wars-JW-Rinzler/dp/1616554258) comic which is based on the original screenplay, Han was a big monster. They wanted him more relatable but also still needed the brute force in areas of the story (my reasoning) so he was split into Han and Chewbacca. They're one character.

Here ya go. Han is a lizard man and Luke Starkiller is a grizzled war veteran.

The Star Wars. Do yourself a favor though and try to get it from a library, or even a torrent. It's terrible, and the dissonance makes it even worse.

The Star Wars. It came out this last year.

Edit: Now that I am back at my comp. Here is a link to the trade. It's a pretty terrible read so at least I am warning you before hand.

they did, and it's fantastic!

the trade recently came out

It's just called The Star Wars. Great artwork, really recommend picking it up.

There is actually a recent (this year, I believe?) comic book adaptation of the first draft of the script, entitled The Star Wars, with the original Annikin Starkiller protagonist and all of that:

>The universe of The Star Wars features the Jedi-Bendu as having been the personal bodyguards of a generally benevolent Emperor for 100,000 years, before the rise of the villainous Knights of Sith. At its core, the story features a young Annikin Starkiller, son of former Jedi Bendu Kane Starkiller, leaving their homeworld Utapau in the Kessil system for Aquilae, a planet which is still independent of the New Galactic Empire. Whereas the finished Episode IV featured Obi-Wan Kenobi in the role of the wise elder, The Star Wars has an older Luke Skywalker in the role of teacher to young protagonist Annikin Starkiller.

Man, he really reminds me of Luke Skywalker from "The Star Wars" comics book. He just needs the weird head thing.

If anyone is interested in comics, there was an adaptation of Lucas's original script, The Star Wars, the art is often inspired by McQuarrie's work.

I highly suggest tracking down The Star Wars comicbook. It is based on Lucas' original version of the script. It has Han Solo as a big Green alien, and a bunch of the names are switched around. But in it stuff like "The Wills" "Padawan" and Sith are used. The Jedi are are called the Jedi-bendu, which is where the name for that character in Rebels comes from. Its pretty interesting to see how much it changed. And indeed prequels-eque political stuff was much more a part of the story. It does have a more Flash Gordon-y kind of vibe to it, but every Star Wars fan should read it IMO. To me it shows how Lucas' ideas became much more honed over various drafts of his script.

I'd also recommend tracking down Leigh Bright's draft of Star Wars 2 to see how much stuff changed there. In that version of the script Vader was not Luke's father. That will also show you how much Kasdan brought to that script.
