Star Wars Weekly 8

Star Wars Weekly 8 is the eighth issue in the Star Wars Marvel UK series of comics.
Like the American Marvel Star Wars series, it started with a multi-part adaptation of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, but split into twelve parts instead of six. This includes the second half of the story printed in the US as Star Wars (1977) 4.
