  Star Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Star Wars is an influential science fantasy saga and fictional universe created by writer/producer/director George Lucas in the early 1970s.
Star Wars began with a 13-page treatment for a space adventure movie which George Lucas drafted in 1973, inspired from multiple myths and classic stories.
For his part, Lucas claimed in a segment filmed for the THX-remastered VHS release of the original trilogy that the original Star Wars story was intended as a single film, but was later split into three because the story was too long to be told in a single film.

Star Wars is the name of the science fantasy movie, literary franchise, and series of video games based on the ideas of writer/director George Lucas, which consist of numerous prequels, sequels, and literary adaptations.
A notable feature of the Star Wars films is that they portray a world full of grime and technology that looks like it has been used for years, not the sleek, futuristic world typical of earlier science fiction films.
Many fans of the original Star Wars movies reject the literary works of the Expanded Universe, and insist only the films or statements George Lucas has made interpreting his own works, can be accepted as canonical.

 Rebelscum.com: Marvel Star Wars Comic Books
With Star Wars becoming such a popular series of comic books the world over, it stands to reason that there would be news reports and parodies based on the comics and the movies as well.
As far as parodies are concerned, there are many instances of this throughout comic books, including the 1991 Epic limited series Samurai Cat, who showcased a lightsaber battle on the third issue's cover.
Finally, there was a short comic book story (of sorts) that was really a Return of the Jedi contest for the film and the toys that was bundled into random titles.

This is a children's book called "The Mystery of the Rebellious Robot" and it's kind of embarrassing to admit that I own it.
Not because it's a stupid book or anything, because it's not, but rather because it still has markings indicating that it originally came from the library in the town I grew up in and was never returned.
First is a set of vintage Star Wars blueprints, and next to that is a rather large metal belt buckle with a detailed relief of the two droids.

Because the "Star Wars Universe" this guide covers is as vast and populated as George Lucas' "galaxy far, far away," it's impossible for even the most prolific researcher/writer to keep up with all the new additions as books, games, collectibles and even animated episodes appear almost on a monthly basis.
This book is only good if you wish to increase your knowledge of the expanded universe, however if I were you I think I would wait on a new edition to come out, because it isn't fully updated from episodes 2 or 3.
This book is a very nice work in the Star Wars universe, since it encompass not only the classic Trilogy, but also the new Trilogy and the New Republic facts.

It wasn't that long ago that Star Wars comic books were considered a dying breed, until Dark Horse helped resurrect the franchise in the early 1990s with its "Dark Empire" series.
