Before Star Wars, there was The Star Wars! This is the official adaptation of George Lucas's rough-draft screenplay for what would become Star Wars - the film that changed motion pictures and the world forever. Readers will see familiar characters and places from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... but not everything's the same. Readers should strap themselves in and get ready for high adventure, lazersword duels, Jedi Knights, Princess Leia, Han Solo and a battle to defeat the evil Empire!
