Star Wars Weekly 7


Star Wars Weekly number 7 represents the seventh installment in the Star Wars Marvel UK comic book series.

Similar to the Marvel Star Wars series published in America, it began with an adaptation of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope that was presented in multiple parts; it was divided into twelve segments, instead of the six used in the American version. This includes the initial half of the narrative that was initially published in the US as Star Wars (1977) 4.
