A long time ago, in a comic book market far, far away, Marvel Comics released an official comic-book adaptation of the movie Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (then simply called Star Wars) in 1977. Like the movie, this adaptation was a success, and so Marvel continued publishing the comic beyond the end of the original story.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Marvel Star Wars eventually ran for a total of 107 issues and three annual specials. It ended in 1986. The series covered the events of the movies as well as stuff happening between them and eventually after them, making it an Expanded Universe before the Star Wars Expanded Universe as we know it today.note Or as we know it today; Disney's buyout of Lucasfilm triggered a Cosmic Retcon which saw the old expanded universe Exiled from Continuity and rebranded as Star Wars Legends.Dark Horse Comics, the publisher of Star Wars comics until 2015, had published reprints of these stories as the Classic Star Wars series, and in trade paperback form as Star Wars: A Long Time Ago, a seven-volume series, later reprinted in 5 omnibus volumes. In addition, Dark Horse also reprinted a series of Manga versions of the Original Trilogy and The Phantom Menace which retold the stories in the typical stylistic elements of the medium.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Some stories were only published in the UK version of the comic (which was a weekly rather than a monthly publication) but had since been reprinted, again by Dark Horse in a separate omnibus volume (titled Wild Space) along with other rare Star Wars comics.With Disney now owning the rights to both Marvel Comics and Star Wars, the company has since re-obtained the rights from Dark Horse to make new comics set in the universe. For tropes relating to the 2015 reboot bearing the same name, go here. Marvel has likewise gained the rights to reprint this series under the Star Wars Legends banner, which they have under the "Original Marvel Years" series of Epic Collections, as well as two hardcover omnibi.The series returned for a one-off issue 108 in May of 2019. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything?: The entire Mary storyline. Luke goes on a mission to help guerrillas fight the Empire. While there, he falls in love with a guerrilla named Mary. They succeed, but then they turn on each other, and in the process, Mary is killed. Yes, this was around the same time as Iran-Contra. Why do you ask? | |

Villains Never Lie | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_1b06aa41 | comment |
Villains Never Lie: After Luke apparently kills Shira, who was popular with Alliance personnel, he goes on sabbatical to grapple with his faith in the Force, soon finding that Shira had been lying about her homeworld and tragic backstory. Vader communicates with him and tells him that not only had she been lying, she'd been working for him the entire time. Now the Alliance is against Luke, and the only way he can keep from being a pariah is to join Vader. Luke is shaken by this, but actually goes to try to find Imperial records on Shira before he outright believes his father. He also needed the records in order to prove his innocence. A rare unintended example occurs in one of the annuals. Vader takes in a boy who had found his mother's dead body, openly saying that he was once in the same position. We're meant to think he was lying just to get the boy on his side...but Attack of the Clones not only reveals that he really was once in the same position, but that it was his Start of Darkness. | |

| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_25b5600 | comment |
Captain Ersatz: Early bit player Don-Wan Kihotay is an extremely transparent space-fantasy take on Don Quixote, right down to literally wearing medieval knight armor in-universe. Key difference is that while Quixote was a crazy obsessive fan of (fictional, idealized) chivalry who took it way too far, Don-Wan is a very obsessive fan of the (very much real, but outlawed) Jedi Order who also just happens to be force-sensitive, and openly desired to be a Jedi Knight, even if it was the equivalent of painting a target on his head in the Imperial-ruled Galaxy. | |

In one issue, Luke is surrounded by Zeltrons, and he's keeping someone from poisoning an Imperial governor because even chaotic has standards. Somehow, Leia ends up posing as a singer. See the case of the Lahsbees to understand why one immature Lahsbee became a huhk while listening to Leia. Then Luke is surrounded by Zeltron fangirls...and one fanboy, all too fascinated by the song to make moves on him like they have for the whole of the issue. A worried Luke hopes she knows a lot of verses. | |

Out of Focus | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: The Empire itself in the first year or so of the series run. Between issue #6 (the last installment of the adaptation of A New Hope) and issue #18 the Empire did not appear 'onscreen' at all except in the form of flashbacks with the villains in the interim being space pirates, mercenaries and raiders; likely due to the Empire regrouping after what must have been a devastating loss. After this, though, the Empire was almost never Out of Focus again until the post-RotJ stories. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: Usually, the Rebels are the champions of democracy, right? Not so when they order Luke's execution over friendly fire in a situation when if he hadn't fired blindly, the entire squadron would've died, compromising their mission. This leads to Luke doubting the Force until he learns Shira was an Imperial spy after all and clears his name. Then the Alliance are so democratic that they don't let the Heroes of Yavin take part in the government because they missed a meeting they didn't even know about. On the other hand, and at one point, our heroes are so popular, they could basically start their own Empire, but they're too clueless to realize it. | |

Shirtless Scene | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_4583a262 | comment |
Shirtless Scene: Luke has a surprising number of opportunities to show off his Marvel-style Heroic Build: Luke actually looks like Rambo in the last issue, with his hair growing literally five inches for one issue, and he's very buff, constantly shirtless, and holding a giant laser cannon. Yes, that is as bizarre as it sounds. When he's infected with the Crimson Forever, a rather dramatically named plague, he has fever dreams in which he fights Vader while shirtless. Despite wearing a shirt while lying in the quarantine wing. Then again, he was dying. It's amazing we got something as lucid as fighting Vader while shirtless instead of an hour or two of Luke following unicorns through an acid trip. Han is shirtless in a cantina for some reason. | |

| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early Installment Weirdness: Many characters appear in a very different form than they do in the movie. This is usually because many of the the comics were written before the films were released so the artists relied on concept art that didn't make the final cut or just guesswork. Most notably, Jabba appears as a yellow, bipedal walrus like guy. | |

Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_553c27bb | comment |
Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness: All over the place Depending on the Writer. Stories and characters ranged from the very silly to serious fare that wouldn't be out of place alongside Timothy Zahn or Michael Stackpole. Largely the silly issues were made earlier on, with later ones being more plotty, but this isn't universal. Played straight when it comes to the issues adapting the movies. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Of all people, Leia! Leia doesn't like Zeltrons. Mon Mothma asks what's wrong with her. Given what we know about Zeltrons, this says more about Mon Mothma. On a more general level anti-droid prejudice is depicted as very common, which retroactively fits in very well with what we later see of the Clone Wars. The issues featuring bounty hunter Valance prominently feature anti-droid prejudice, but take it to a new level. Valance, who obsessively hates droids, is a cyborg, and it turns out they're subject to prejudice, as well. | |

Enemy Mine | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_5989e3b6 | comment |
Enemy Mine: Leia and Luke are forced to combine forces with a squad of Imperial commandos to survive a hostile planet in a 1980 storyline, World Of Fire. While one of the commandos is a complete scumbag their overall leader is portrayed as a sympathetic Worthy Opponent who just happens to be on the wrong side and Leia even tries to persuade him to defect. He refuses, using a My Country, Right or Wrong arguement. | |

Unwanted Harem | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_71019994 | comment |
Unwanted Harem: Luke around Zeltrons, at least until he apparently gets used to them. "Chanteuse of the Stars" has him actively fleeing from hot red women who think he's the most beautiful man they've ever seen. Eventually one of them (Dani) becomes a close, platonic friend partly because she fell for someone else - she has a thing for blond Force-sensitive men - and so stopped chasing him and partly because she went through a lot of Character Development. | |

| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Luke and Dani think Kiro's dead because he fell in the water fighting an enemy, the water got bloody, and he never came up, and he's a fish man! They aren't really sure it's him, but when they get back to their ship and see that Shira/Lumiya has been released, and the flower Den gave to Dani there, it pretty much seals the deal that Kiro lost (although it turns out later that he survived and made it back to his home planet). | |

| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_72f98935 | comment |
Heroic Build: This was very much a Marvel Comic, and Depending on the Artist, the art often followed (but not always) this aspect of Marvel's house style. Particularly obvious in the "corner art" depiction of Luke on the cover of every issue. With a bit of art touch-up, the "swordsman" would be indistinguishable from Marvel's Conan the Barbarian. | |

| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: On the cover of issue 1, Darth Vader's helmet is green and shaped more like a gas mask. The cover of issue 5. As the Death Star, visible in the sky, fires two lasers on the planet's surface, Luke tells Chewbacca, "Hurry, Chewbacca! We're being attacked by the Death Star!" Han replies, "It's too late kid! We're finished!" This is part five of an adaptation of A New Hope, and includes no such scene. The main cast is referred to as The Star Warriors on the covers, but not in the stories. Probably better that way. | |

Art Shift | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_912b24c4 | comment |
Art Shift: Starting with the adaptation of The Empire Strikes Back, the art changes from Carmine Infantino's loose, angular style to a more detailed look with much closer likenesses to the film characters (usually veteran inker Tom Palmer over Al Williamson or Walt Simonson.) The last issue also has a strikingly different style than its predecessors. For example, for some reason Luke's gone from a slim short-haired figure wearing mostly black and wielding a lightsaber into a perpetually shirtless mulleted wall of beef toting a BFG he never once fires. | |

Canon Discontinuity | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_a32334b4 | comment |
Canon Discontinuity: A lot of the stories are considered non-canon at best, simply due to being supplanted by later material. One example is a flashback story where Luke's father, Darth Vader, and Obi-Wan Kenobi (three separate people) save a planet together - although that story was written before The Empire Strikes Back, and therefore a professional example of being Jossed. Mind you, one of Lucasfilm's resident kings of Continuity found a way to make it work... As can be seen here, Marvel Star Wars is considered to be on a lower level of canon than most of Star Wars Legends, although its material can be used or discarded as other authors wish, as long as it does not contradict the higher levels of canon. An issue of the Marvel series deals with Wes Janson's death. Wes is alive and well in the X-Wing Series, set a few years later. Supplemental material, specifically Adumar: Pilots Wanted, Retcons this rather than ignoring it completely. It's a story Wedge would tell new recruits before calling in Wes. Even Luke fell for it. And of course, with the Legends decision in 2014, the comic series in its entirety is non-canon, with only a few elements surviving in the new continuity. | |

| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: After being blinded by Darth Vader, Orman Tagge became obsessed with defeating him, procuring a lightsaber and training endlessly with it. He also had a dirty trick in mind that he planned to use if it came to that, which he was forced◊ to use on Luke◊ - namely, he planned to turn the lights off during the fight. With his cybernetic replacement eyes, he could see in the dark. The poor man never understood the power of The Force... | |

Villain Episode | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_b6c2e6ad | comment |
Villain Episode: "The Hunter" is a combination of this and A Day in the Limelight as the focus is on both the evil cyborg Captain Valance and the surviving heroes of the group Han and Chewie assembled in "Eight for Aduba-3" from earlier in the series run. Uniquely none of the core heroes (Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie and the droids) appear outside of flashbacks. "Dark Encounters" is another one that features Valance and Vader fighting over a Rebel deserter and ends with the cyborg's and the deserter's deaths. Luke and the droids only briefly appear as part of an interlude that isn't involved with the main story. | |

| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Luke gets these on occasion. The comic directly after ESB has him slowing his heart rate and breathing to the point where a droid monitoring his life signs thinks he's comatose, though he's up and moving. In another comic, he uses the Force to find six bombs and make their primers explode, but not the bombs themselves. And of course, there's the long-range Mind Trick mentioned above. | |

Jedi Mind Trick | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_cabd513c | comment |
Jedi Mind Trick: Played for Black Comedy in one issue with Darth Vader using a Mind Trick to persuade an incompetent officer to go for "some fresh air", by stepping out an airlock. Another issue gives us a rare glimpse of the aftermath of a Mind Trick when Luke uses a long distance one to make an Imperial station commander to drop her shields. The commander mindlessly orders the shields dropped then comes out of her trance and is surprised and angry to notice the lack of shields, blaming it on her underlings' incompetence. | |

The Chessmaster | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_d62dd556 | comment |
The Chessmaster: Darth Vader. The Marvel series really ran with the idea of Vader being an evil genius to a much larger extent than anywhere else in the Expanded Universe. Largely by necessity, as Lucasfilm generally forbade direct confrontations between Vader and the main characters, as they might have upstaged what they were planning for the movies. Shown literally in the cover for issue 35, "Dark Lord's Gambit". | |

Breakout Character | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_da0eeab5 | comment |
Breakout Character: Lumiya is the most famous character in the series and the only one to feature in an important role in later Expanded Universe stories but she had a mere six appearances (plus seven more as Shira Brie). Her lightwhip appeared in just three issues but is similarly iconic. On the heroic side Dani became this, she had a major character arc, effectively became a Sixth Ranger to the heroes and appeared in more issues than any other Marvel created character (17 plus various mentions elsewhere). Unlike Lumiya she hasn't been seen or referenced much since the comics run ended but as the prototypical Zeltron she's had a lot of influence (Delilah Blue from the Legacy comics is clearly her Expy.) Recurring character Jaxxon, a member of a humanoid-rabbit like species called the Lepi, proved popular enough to get inducted into the current canon Star Wars universe. | |

Dream Tropes: Luke's Force-tinged dreams come up three times in the series. The first, "The Empire Strikes", has him go into a coma after sensing Vader's mind for the first time, and having to fight a Vader-shaped manifestation of his fear. The second time is when he's infected with the Crimson Forever plague, and fights a Vader-shaped manifestation of the sickness until he gets a burst of insight from Obi-Wan and Yoda and lets it strike him down. The third time, he... sees a Vader-shaped manifestation several nights in a row, talks to it with the spirits of his teachers and father, and discovers that it's a new Sith Lord. Only then can he see it as something not-so-Vader-shaped. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": Generally averted, but just like in the films, there are some odd examples where "destroyed" is used instead. And in the Crimson Forever arc, Luke is killed by the eponymous disease (he gets better) and Leia and Lando have to continue on without him - but they never say die. Just that he succumbed to it. And since everyone else who'd contracted it had died... Also in the last issue of this arc Leia is contacted with an offer for a way to stop the plague and undo the worst of it - including the death of Luke Skywalker. | |

Canon Immigrant | |
| Marvel Star Wars (Comic Book) / int_fc7c4f92 | comment |
Canon Immigrant: Shira/Lumiya, into the mainstream Expanded Universe. Baron Tagge was probably the first; he was referenced (and his role much expanded) in the mid-90s. And more recently, Fenn Shysa makes an appearance in Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor. But the original example has to be the TIE Bomber. It managed to make an appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, meaning it even survived the Legends retcon! Zeltrons, too, the species of hedonistic red near-humans. The Zeltron attraction to Force-Sensitives is actually a plot point in Coruscant Nights. | |
