Star Wars (1977) #05: Lo, The Moons of Yavin!

Roy Thomas, Aug 10 1977

I have to say I love that title already.

The cover is, of course, amazing. "Luke Skywalker strikes again!" that boy just can't stop striking. Han's defeatism. The Death Star in action, and shooting from two places at once! (And on the equator instead of the dish as we've seen in the movie.)

Luke has to shake off his grief over Ben and get shooting. We get the first instance of thought bubbles in these comics:

Gotta love the awkward recaps. Leia joins in:

... and so does Luke, reminding himself what the Force is:

The narration itself helps out, too!

"Mankind", huh?

I'm not sure how this would work with how the ship's layout is presented in the film but whatever.

Our heroes get away and Leia expresses her theory that they are being tracked. This is immediately confirmed, similarly to the film:

Of course, Tarkin's movie convo with Vader actually happens before Leia tells Han how easy their escape was, and Vader's response gets weirdly cut off; "this will be a day long remembered" and so on is moved to when the Death Star is approaching Yavin. In my opinion the original scene adapted by the comic flows better - and I have to compliment the composition here, too. The movie scene looks kind of claustrophobic with Vader and Tarkin standing right next to each other in a small space, while the comic takes advantage of its medium and puts them in the middle of a huge observation room. (I also like the odd halos and Vader's pose in panel 2, he's so excited.)

Meanwhile, Luke has a crush:

Comic Luke is really into her, huh? Well, it works with what the movie gives us.

Where did the table in panel 2 appear from? Never mind. Han sees Luke as a friend. ❤

They arrive on Yavin IV. I'm glad the comic is acknowledging that the Rebels set themselves up in a once sacred place.

I understand Aphra senior's (is he a doctor? idk) frustration with them. Here, have an excerpt from Doctor Aphra's 2016 run:

... anyway. Back to the comic we are actually discussing.

Leia is bordering on abusing her iconic line (she does actually say it in the film as well; it's really easy to miss though):

Dodonna is all casual while delivering the briefing, what an icon:

But he can do dramatic as well!

After seeing Han off, Luke and Leia say their goodbyes and. Um. That's not a little peck on the cheek, with the handholding and romantic pink background, is it.

The transition to the next panel is really funny though. It totally looks like Biggs is dragging Luke away from more kisses with Leia - where are my lukebiggs shippers at?

"Blue Leader" shows up (and changes hair color between panels but hey, styslistic choice). He's Red in the film and for fun I decided that Luke knows this. The Biggs reunion is a deleted and 20 years later undeleted scene - I am not a fan of reinserting it into the film without the set-up of Biggs' previous scenes but it is what it is.

The leader talking about knowing Luke's father remains deleted though. Both versions are kinda odd to be honest - in canon he just takes Biggs' word for it (although without the previous deleted scenes we can assume that Biggs has been with the rebellion longer that the maybe several days it looks like originally). In the version shot he comes off as annoyed and doubtful, warms up after Biggs' line, and then tells Luke about having known his father - but without the realization shown in the comic. The leader's last line is also strange, even without the context added in the 2000s about Jedi not having children and relationships. What do you mean "original Jedi Knights"? Does he assume that many of the Jedi killed at the beginning of the Empire (which I don't believe was established lore either) had surviving infants? I don't get it.

Anyway, Biggs and Luke have their romantic goodbyes with several heartbreaking lines:

(Seriously, what is more of a tragic romance than two childhood friends unexpectedly reuniting before flying off to battle for their cause and promising to catch up after? And Luke is only there because Biggs vouched for him? "We're a couple of shooting stars that'll never be stopped!" My heart...)

Threepio is unwilling to be upstaged when it comes to dramatically saying last goodbyes to your love:

The lines "skyboy" and "let's get cracking" seem to be comic inventions and I love them dearly.

Love the sassy narration. Perhaps both, indeed.

Star Wars (2020) #34 A FRACTURED ALLIANCE In a desperate battle with the Killdroids, Luke and the rebel heroes managed to get the Path engine back to the ''Longbeam'', but Luke's hand and lightsaber were crushed by one of the monstrous droids in the process. With a little help from Lobot and the Kezarat Colony, the rebels were able to use the Path engine to get out of No-Space and offered to bring members of the colony along with them. Having made their way out of No-Space, Luke now faces the reality that he's going to need to face Darth Vader again in the future, and he's going to need a new lightsaber…. Writer: Charles Soule Artist: Madibek Musabekov Letterer: Clayton Cowles Colorist: Rachelle Rosenberg Cover artist: Stephen Segovia Editor: Mark Paniccia Publication date: May 3, 2023 In much the same way that Doctor Aphra and Bounty Hunters have rolled out of their long-running storylines in the wake of Hidden Empire, so Star Wars shifts gear as we leave behind No-Space and follow Luke Skywalker as he searches for a solution to his broken lightsaber problem. Of course, with the events of Return of the Jedi on the near horizon we know he'll soon be getting his iconic green blade, but how we're yet to learn. We open with Luke and Artoo, Skywalker keen to figure out his problem and knowing he can no longer use Ilum as the source for his kyber crystal search. He's reading the ancient Jedi texts, presumably the ones we see decades later on Ahch-To in The Last Jedi, and understands that while there was no need for Yoda and Obi-Wan to teach him the ancient rites of passage for a Jedi to build their blade, he needs to figure it out. He's frustrated, and it becomes increasingly clear that this mission to find a solution is something he needs to do, despite Leia reminding him that his connection to the Force is somewhat flaky and his piloting talents are required for the upcoming assault. We then arrrive on a very familiar location; Christophsis, the world we first saw in The Clone Wars movie from 2008. While there's a limited Imperial presense on Christophsis, Luke is keen to avoid the city and parks his T-65 far away, walking with Artoo in the rain as he explains to way of the world on the planet, how kyber is occasionally found by prospectors and traded. He decides to tell Artoo to stay put and hold his lightsaber as he heads into town and finding a cantina he asks the bartender about looking for rare commodities, and as the barkeep utters the word 'kyber' he is blasted, and Luke turns to see all the denizens of the bar taken out in a hail of fire, and a green-haired woman standing in the doorway with a smoking gun. Luke is incenced, and as she drops her blaster and Artoo arrives, Luke takes his lightsaber and demands to know who she is and why she did it. [gallery link="file" size="large" columns="4" ids="144011,144010,144009,144012"] Her name is Gretta, and she explains that anyone who comes looking for kyber is taken hostage and handed over to the Empire. She also explains the reason why she did it. When her people on Jedha were murdered by the Empire, she swore revenge, so when Luke blew up the Death Star in her mind they were avenged. She wants to help, and despite still being angry at her actions he allows her to help and they take her speeder and head out to find a man called Cuata. He's a kyber expert, one who saw the writing on the wall as those who refused to assist the Empire were killed, and leaving that behind he hid out on Christophsis. Gretta helps Cuata survive with supplies and food, and roaring across the plains their speeder is suddenly hit by a huge creature erupting from the ground that promptly eats the speeder as Luke reaches for his lightsaber, which fails. They run, panicking at their imminent demise and Luke reaches out into the Force but nothing. As he waits for the inevitable the creature explodes and walking through the smoke in the final page we see Cuata, who asks Luke for his lightsaber....

A thoughtful, action-packed issue, the story doesn't hang about from Luke making his decision to swing over to Christophsis to meeting Gretta and finding Cuata. There's a kinetic flow to the way Soule tells his stories and this issue highlights that, blending introspection with action and delivering another wrinkle to the run in to Jedi. A great read.
