An illustrated storybook, Star Wars Epic Adventures: A New Hope, presents a reimagining of the occurrences from the motion picture sharing its title. Penned by Ivan Cohen and visually brought to life through the artwork of Brian Rood, the narrative unfolds the plot of the A New Hope movie, narrated from the viewpoint of C-3PO. Initially, Sandvik Publishing planned to release the book as a part of the Star Wars Epic Adventures collection of books. This specific title was intended to be the main attraction within a box set exclusively available through subscription, which would also include other materials related to A New Hope; however, the subscription program was discontinued. Despite the book being finalized and prepared for distribution, it was ultimately never made available to the public.
This collection, set many years following the events of Revenge of the Sith, encapsulates the tale that initiated everything. Journey alongside Luke Skywalker as he, aided by both his newly acquired companions and his Uncle Ben, provides support to the Rebel Alliance in their struggle against the Galactic Empire.
