Notes

First edition. A novelization of the film, based upon the screenplay by George Lucas. The novel is credited to Lucas, but Alan Dean Foster is acknowledged as the actual author.

This edition predates the film's actual release by 6 months and is noted for featuring early concepts of character designs on the cover, and the novel itself contains characters and plot elements that were not in the finished film, which was still being edited when the book was published. This book is considered the very first piece of Star Wars-related commercial merchandise.

220 pages.

Comments and Reviews


23skidoo 3rd Jun 2020		The fact Foster wrote the novelization has been known for decades, and is discussed by him in this interview, amongst other media articles. This book would probably be among the most valuable in my collection if only it was in better shape. I think I got it for 50 cents at a garage sale about 20 years ago.



ppint. 25th Aug 2023		isbn13 entered is^W was wrong and should^W has been deleted, replaced with the correct isbn13, ''9780345341464'' as per back cover image. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



23skidoo 14th Jan 2023		Someone took Foster’s name off as author. I will be adding soon a late 1990s edition that has Lucas in his introduction stage outright that Foster ghostwrote the novel so I resubmitted the correction to credit Foster and put Lucas as pen name. mod edit: author name corrected (this comment is from another edition of this book)
