John Jackson Miller authored a narrative centered around Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, R2-D2, and C-3PO for Star Wars Adventures. Initially, this story was slated for publication in this particular issue. However, a last-minute change led to the inclusion of a story penned by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker instead. Landry Q. Walker later disclosed that he was responsible for writing the issue's lead story, with art provided by Eric Jones. He added that it was the first part of a two-part narrative, with the second part appearing in Star Wars Adventures (2017) 5. Miller subsequently verified that the story featuring Luke and Leia and the Sarkans that was advertised in the solicitation was indeed the story he had written, and not one by Walker or Acker and Blacker.
Miller's story eventually saw publication in Star Wars Adventures Annual 2018 on April 18, 2018, with artwork by Jon Sommariva.
