- - Cover art is an homage to the poster for the feature film "Star Wars." Star Wars Art: Comics (Abrams, 2011) reproduces the original art for this cover. The signature ?Cockrum? is visible (another signature, perhaps once pasted onto the original, is missing), and editor Eric Klopfer credits the art to ?Dave Cockrum and Rick Hoberg? (without particularization). Rick Hoberg pencil and Dave Cockrum inks credits confirmed by Rick Hoberg via Shaun Clancy (19 May 2015). Credit for front and back covers is also given along with the story credits on the inside front cover.
- The Marvel Special Edition of Star Wars - With Special Thanks To Archie Goodwin, Consulting Editor-In-Chief.
- Star Wars Chapter I - Part one of the movie adaptation. Includes scenes with Biggs Darklighter on Tatooine that were cut from the original script.
- Chapter Two Six Against the Galaxy - Part two of movie adaptation. Light Saber mispelled as Lightsabre in this chapter. Due to scene being cut from film due to budget and technology, Jabba The Hutt is incorrectly drawn and name mispelled as Jabba The Hut. George Lucas had not yet Designed Jabba, so Chaykin used a random passerby alien for reference, which in later years became known as Jabba's accountant and someone who posed as him.
- Chapter Three Death Star! - Part three of movie adaptation.
