Issue number ten of the Legends comic book series entitled Star Wars is known as Star Wars 10. This particular issue's writing credits belong to Donald F. Glut, Howard Chaykin, and Roy Thomas. The art duties were handled by Chaykin, Tom Palmer, and Alan Kupperberg. Marvel Comics initially released it to the public on January 10, 1978. The story presented is called "Behemoth from the World Below," and it recounts the defeat of the Cloud-Riders, along with Han Solo's battle against the story's monster.
To defend the village of Onacra from the wicked Cloud-Riders, the Old One has called forth the Behemoth, a massive reptilian monster. Serji-X Arrogantus, who leads the Cloud-Riders, realizes that his group is no match for the creature and that the old shaman is controlling it. He then launches an attack upon the Old One, but the Behemoth is fast enough to react and kill Serji-X. However, the shaman also dies, which causes the monster to go on a rampage. The other members of the Star-Hoppers of Aduba-3 scatter for safety, and the aspiring Jedi Knight Don-Wan Kihotay attempts to subdue the enormous beast by himself. Hedji tries to assist him, but the monster easily kills him. Han Solo hurries to help Kihotay and uses Kihotay's lightsaber to eliminate the Behemoth, thus saving the village.
In a parallel storyline, Leia Organa is searching the Drexel system for Luke Skywalker, from whom there has been no communication since his last transmission was cut off.
