50 Years Later, Star Wars Is Releasing The Original Version Of A New Hope

2027 will mark five decades since the Star Wars franchise launched in what was originally simply titled Star Wars, introducing beloved characters like Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, and Darth Vader. However, weeks before Episode IV — A New Hope, as the movie was later retitled, was released in theaters, the public received their first look at George Lucas’ fantastical sci-fi world in the first issue of a comic book series published by Marvel Comics.
