Issue #0 is basically “the art of The Star Wars“–a concept art book for the alternate-universe version of Star Wars. Happily for me, my local comics store, A Shop Called Quest, still had copies of all of the issues, including issue #0.
I’ve been a bit out of touch with the comics scene lately so I didn’t know about this until a week or so ago. Issue 6 is due out in the next few days, and the whole series will be collected in graphic novel form this summer. The Star Wars is currently running as an 8-issue series from Dark Horse Comics. He got Lucas’ permission to develop those early drafts into a fully-developed alternative storyline, and he kept the original title, “The Star Wars”. But Rinzler decided to take things a big step further. This isn’t super-secret stuff these days–lots of folks know that the early drafts had characters called Kane and Deak Starkiller, and that Alderaan was originally the Imperial capital planet. While Rinzler was doing the background research for his book The Making of Star Wars, he came across the original story drafts that George Lucas wrote back in 1974. Rinzler and Dark Horse Comics have gone a step further.

And as a roleplayer, concept art is a goldmine–a lot of “official” RPG characters and vehicles were born from concept art (like the Star Wars ships from this post), and even back in the 80s those of us with the movie art books and sketchbooks were busy dreaming up names and stats for concept art that the big publishers overlooked.Īuthor J.W. It’s basically alternate history applied to film. I’ve always been a sucker for movie concept art.
