The Star Wars #6 (2014) intensifies the pace of this bold alternate-universe space epic, adapted directly from George Lucas’ 1974 original screenplay draft. Published by Dark Horse Comics, this issue plunges readers deeper into a galaxy very different from the one eventually immortalised on screen—one that is rawer, more experimental, and steeped in mythic sci-fi energy.

Written by J. W. Rinzler, who meticulously adapted Lucas’s earliest vision, and illustrated with cinematic flair by Mike Mayhew, this chapter continues to follow the journey of Annikin Starkiller, the young Jedi-in-training, and General Luke Skywalker, a grizzled warrior of the Jedi Bendu order. Together with Princess Leia of Aquilae, they forge ahead through enemy lines in a desperate attempt to resist the crushing power of the New Galactic Empire.

In The Star Wars #6, alliances are strained and battle lines drawn, as betrayal and ancient prophecy collide. More of the enigmatic Force-like energy known to the Jedi Bendu is revealed, while the Empire’s reach grows deadlier with the ominous presence of a very different Darth Vader and alien versions of classic characters like Han Solo. This issue is packed with world-expanding lore, unexpected twists, and escalating tension as the narrative surges toward a larger galactic conflict.

Mike Mayhew’s artwork remains a standout feature—every page meticulously rendered with painterly textures and a strong cinematic composition. The retro-futurist technology, lavish costume designs, and eerie alien worlds give this series a distinctive tone that separates it from modern Star Wars continuity, while still feeling deeply connected to its origin.

For comic collectors, Star Wars historians, and fans of alternate timeline storytelling, The Star Wars #6 is an essential addition to this unique series—capturing the raw creative imagination behind one of the world’s most iconic franchises.
