Written by George Lucas (ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster) (ISBN 19). Originally entitled "Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker," this was the official novel adaptation of the film "Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope." Like other novelizations, "Star Wars" contains many scenes and details cut from the film. The novel starts off with the words "Another galaxy, another time," rather then the famous opening words of "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away"

　　This is VERY SPECIAL Star Wars collectible - it is the FIRST of the first of thousands of memorabilia (books, videos, figures, posters, trinkets). This first edition was published by Ballantine Books in December 1976. There is creasing on the spine and covers from regular usage, but generally speaking the book is in good shape for being on display for over 30 years!
