Issue number 61 of Star Wars Weekly represents the sixty-first installment of the Marvel Star Wars UK comic book series.
Within this particular issue, you'll find the initial segment of a narrative that was originally published in the United States as Star Wars (1977) 27, presented as the first of a three-part series. This marks a shift, as it's the first time US stories are serialized into three parts instead of the previous two-part format. This change allows for the inclusion of a greater number of pages dedicated to other Marvel Comics stories, aside from Star Wars, that have been a prominent feature since Star Wars Weekly 2.
