Featured on the cover of issue #9 is Lando Calrissian. Star Wars Kids was a periodical published by Scholastic spanning from July of 1997 until February of 1999. It was delivered directly to homes as a bonus accompanying subscriptions to Star Wars Missions, with a fresh edition released every month. In total, twenty editions were produced, with each one putting a spotlight on a specific character from the Original trilogy and a planet originating from either the movies or the Expanded Universe.
This segment featured an interview with an actor who played the featured character for that month, for example, Mark Hamill in the Luke Skywalker edition, Harrison Ford in the Han Solo edition, or David Prowse, James Earl Jones, and Sebastian Shaw in the Darth Vader edition.
This section provided two informational profiles concerning a particular alien species, as seen in either the films or the EU.
This page acted as a supplemental addition to the roleplaying game available in the Star Wars Missions scenario. To fully engage with this, the player needed the materials provided with the Star Wars Missions starter set.
Each issue presented one-fifth of a complete, brief comic narrative. There were a total of four comic stories: The Rebel Thief, X-Wing Marks the Spot, Imperial Spy, and "Death Star Pirates." Additionally, there was a short comic titled The Gambler's Quest featured in Issue #12.
