Star Wars Weekly #8 represents the eighth installment within the Star Wars Marvel UK comic book series.
Similar to the American Marvel Star Wars comics, this series commenced with a sprawling adaptation of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, but was segmented into twelve parts, unlike the six parts of the US version. This includes the second half of the story initially published in the US as Star Wars (1977) 4.
