  The Star Wars #3 is an awesome continuation of this maxi-series. It's a fun, wacky, and exciting issue (and series) filled with intrigue and action. Emphasis on the action. There have been some exciting scenes in the previous two issues, but #3 takes it up a notch. The whole second half of the issue is a race as the heroes try to escape the Empire's clutches. I've been waiting to see Luke kick some ass. I'm sure there's an even better battle coming if that Sith Knight ever catches up to him. Once again,The Star Wars delivers a great issue from art to story! I can't wait to see Alien Han Solo next time! Read Full Review

  The great thing about 'The Star Wars 'is that it's a strong enough story on its own that, even without the character familiarity, it would still be a decent comic book. As long as the pacing keeps up, and the book doesn't get weighed down by its script, this could be a cracker come the third act. Read Full Review

  To put it simply, The Star Wars issue three is fun! More and more elements of what would become A New Hope are being woven throughout the overall story, while still keeping a unique identity. With dynamic art and a quick pace, this is defiantly a book to pick up. Read Full Review

  The Star Wars #3 is not as engaging as the previous two issues in the series, but for Star Wars fans, there is enough to satisfy the urge. Read Full Review

  And alas, it really doesn't have much else going for it. 'The Star Wars' is a professionally rendered experiment and little more, with J.W. Rinzler presumably just making editorial decisions with Lucas's stiff and unlikeable script. From the meaningless kid sidekicks to the more openly hostile tone of the Threepio/Artoo relationship when both of them are capable of speech, it's really amazing that 'Star Wars' ended up the classic it is today. Nobody is worth rooting for, I can't tell who the main villain is supposed to be, and I'm lost as to what the end goal of our heroes is. Boy, is this like the prequels or what? Despite this, it's gorgeous and fascinating from a historical perspective since I've never read the original screenplay the comic is based on, so it's worth buying for the curious enthusiast. For everyone else however? Better off sticking with the movies. Read Full Review

  As part of a continuing story, "The Star Wars" #3 doesn't really work by the inherent virtue of its work-in-progress nature. But as a showcase that unearths these old ideas from the mind of George Lucas and makes them presentable for display, it's far more successful. It's an odd mixture that falls just on the good side of being fun. Read Full Review
