Notes & Trivia[]
- Star Wars was created by writer, director and executive producer George Lucas. It first captured the imaginations of movie goers in May, 1977 with its inaugural installment, which has since come to be identified by its full title, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The movie led to two sequels, a prequel trilogy, a third trilogy, several spin-off films, and numerous television programs, animated projects, novels, comic books, and video games, as well as developing into a merchandising giant.
- The events from this issue are part of the "Legends" continuity, and are not part of the modern canonical continuity.
- The events of this issue take place in 4 ABY, shortly after the events of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi comic book limited series.
- The cover to this issue is reproduced as the cover to the Star Wars: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus, Volume 3 hardcover collection.
- This issue establishes that Boba Fett survived being swallowed by the Sarlacc at the Skirmish at Carkoon in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
- Han's lucky dice makes an appearance in this issue. They first appeared briefly in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, and take on greater significance in Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi and Solo: A Star Wars Story.
- This is the first, and to date, only known appearance of Garrick, who is the administrator of the Mos Eisley Spaceport.
- At some point in this story, Han Solo and Leia Organa duck into a cantina. It is unclear whether this was intended to be Chalmun's Cantina, as seen in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, or another cantina altogether.
