Marvel Star Wars: Issue 9: Showdown on a Wasteland World!




Han Solo and the so-called Starhoppers of Aduba-3 ride banthas toward the little village terrorized by the Cloud-Riders. Along the way, they rescue a pretty young village girl named Merri from a bunch of flying bird-men. Han, being Han, flirts with her until Amaiza busrolls him in front of her family when they reach the village.


Meanwhile, Luke and the droids reach the isolated Drexel system, checks in with Yavin 4, and then the signal cuts out. Worried, Leia rushes off to find Luke and rescue him from whatever it is.


Back on Aduba-3, Merri's crazy old grandfather says the mercs aren't necessary because he's got a solution for the problem. Han blows him off, and then the Cloud-Riders attack, precipitating a lengthy action sequence where the Starhoppers suffer their first casualty: the droid Effie.



And then the crazy old man summons a giant monster, which was NOT in Kurosawa.

But should have been.


Its an action-oriented issue, which is pretty good, but there's not much to say about the details.
