Before Star Wars, there was The Star Wars! J.W. Rinzler and Mike Mayhew present this authorized adaptation of George Lucas’s rough-draft screenplay of what would eventually become a motion picture that would change the world! High adventure and derring-do from longer ago, in a galaxy even further away!

Available in regular, variant and ultravariant covers, Dark Horse offers customers the official adaptation of George Lucas's original Star Wars screenplay. Written J.W. Rinzler, executive editor at LucasBooks, The Star Wars tells the intergalactic tale of good versus evil featuring the popular characters that made the franchise legendary.

“While researching in the Lucasfilm Archives I’ve found many treasures—but one which truly astounded me was George’s rough draft for The Star Wars. His first complete imaginings were hallucinating to read—mind blowing,” said writer J.W. Rinzler. “While working with George on another book project, I once asked if we could adapt his rough draft. He was hesitant. Years later, with Dark Horse’s invaluable help, we showed him a few drawn and colored pages of what it might look like. He gave us the okay.”
