A New Hope: Special
Edition (4-issue mini; w Bruce Jones; a Eduardo Barreto).
[From Dark Horse Comics: When George Lucas made the first Star Wars
motion picture, a scene was shot wherein Han Solo met Jabba the Hutt. But
as any Star Wars fan knows, Jabba didn't appear until the third film, Return
of the Jedi. Lucas had hit the technological wall—he couldn't craft
Jabba the way he wanted, so he simply removed the scene from his initial,
ground-breaking movie. Now, two decades later, he has taken that footage—with
a young Harrison Ford portraying a brash Han Solo—and added Jabba to
it. The result is incredible. The hair will stand up on the back of your
neck, and you'll feel twenty years younger as you experience that remarkable
thrill all over again. That's the same feeling you'll have as you read the
all-new adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope. Crafted completely from scratch
by Bruce Jones, Eduardo Barreto, and longtime Star Wars artist Al Williamson,
with a stunning cover by Greg and Tim Hildebrandt, this adaptation includes
the new scenes from the Special Edition. For those who cannot wait for four
monthly issues, and for the new readers who will surely come looking for
this comic, we are publishing this simultaneously as a trade-paperback collection
and as a four-issue, monthly comics series. Experience it again, for the
very first time.]

from the triumphal reception at the conclusion of Star Wars: A New Hope
to their new lives as hardbitten guerrillas fighting against the tyrannies
of a still-dangerous Empire in The Empire Strikes Back.] 4 The Early Adventures (w & a Russ Manning).

In the Empire's Service.] 
7 Masquerade (28-31; w Michael A. Stackpole; a Jim Hall, Drew Johnson).

one happenstance, mishap, or technical glitch beyond the characters' control,
and watch how that changes everything. In Dark Horse's first foray into
Infinities (A New Hope), Luke Skywalker's valiant torpedo attack on the
Death Star failed due to a faulty detonator -- an event no one could have
foreseen—and the Rebellion was dealt a debilitating setback. In Infinities—The
Empire Strikes Back, Han Solo's desperate attempt to locate his friend Luke
in the icy wastes of the planet Hoth is thwarted when the tauntaun he's
riding succumbs to the cold while Han is still a mile from Luke's location.
Han arrives too late, barely in time to hear Luke's dying words about Jedi
training and the planet Dagobah... Thus begins an adventure far different
than the one seen in the motion picture. Along the way, a famous bounty
hunter is frozen in carbonite, Han and Chewie are captured on Tatooine by
Jabba the Hutt, and Princess Leia and Yoda have a fateful jungle showdown
with Darth Vader!]

falls apart, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca embark on another
rescue mission that puts them into direct conflict with Boba Fett. Meanwhile,
Luke's late arrival on Dagobah ends with him being captured by Darth Vader
and the Emperor, just as the second Death Star is about to go on-line. Will
the return of the Jedi become the end of the Jedi? The surprising climax
is as exciting as that of the film on which it is based, but different from
anything Star Wars fans have seen before!]
