Classic Star Wars #3 represents the third installment in the Classic Star Wars comic book series, brought to publication by Dark Horse Comics.
This specific Classic run presented recolored and re-edited versions of the Star Wars daily newspaper strip, originally crafted by Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson in the beginning of the 1980s. To adapt the narratives for the standard comic book layout, Williamson contributed additional artwork and panels to ensure a smooth reading experience.
The events of Classic Star Wars unfold in the timeframe situated between the initial and subsequent Star Wars motion pictures. Within this issue, Luke takes on a volunteer role for a secret mission taking place on Darth Vader's newly constructed warship – however, is it possible for him to place trust in the Imperial Admiral he encounters, who asserts that he is aiding the Rebel Alliance?!
