Starwars Episode 0 ... to discover urgently

Star Wars (Album)

Customer Review

Starwars fans, stop for a moment to contemplate the cover of this luxurious recently published by Delcourt album.

You'll find familiar elements of the saga: lightsaber wielded by a disturbing character hooded black. The Star. Rebels in the heat of the moment ... and your two favorite droids.

Yet, come to view details are wrong; C3PO does not have its usual pace. What is this creature that looks like a Wookie without being one? Finally, who is this central character, Mature, Jedi costume? green alien on his right? and the fearless young warrior to his left?

You may be surprised (e) to discover that this is the general Skywlaker respectively Luke, Han Solo and Leia princess, aged 14. Key figures such as George Lucas originally imagined them in the first script of "The Starwars" of 1 August 1974.

Indeed, it took him 18 months of painful questioning, both for artistic reasons as technical constraints, ending on 15 January 1976 to the perfect script transposed to the screen after four successive versions.

This album is the first adaptation of the script - version 0 of "Star Wars" - in comix mode. Imaged with talent and an almost cinematic realism by Mike Mayhew.

The result is truly staggering: an alternate history in George Lucas' universe. Valuable evidence of his "work in progress" at the dawn of cinematic revolution he was about to shoot.

We discover a galaxy plagued by civil war since the fall of the Order of Jedi Bendu-stellar overthrown by the imperial forces. While he has just lost his younger son, killed by a Sith, Kane Starkiller says his eldest, Anakin to his old friend, General Luke Skywalker.

This veteran veterans of the order of Jedi Bendu, is the general in charge of the protection of Aquilae system, the last bastion of resistance to the Empire and to which the threatening advances basis of 'Star.

Over the screenplay, we discover many episodes appearing in movies, but in an order and in a very different light: wandering droids on Tatooine, Battle of Yavin, suicide mission on the Death Star etc ...

Many issues are intriguing but not least: Darth Vader is a brutal and ambitious general, without psychic powers. Under the flap helmet, devoid of respiratory system, it displays the proud look of a Nazi officer.

D2R2 speaks like you and me.

The lightsaber is not reserved for Jedi Bendu but constitutes the basis of stormtroopers arms. Han Solo, an alien face toad actually use elsewhere.

Here there is no mention of the dark side, and Force is that anecdotally mentioned as a link between people of good will: "May the force of others, be with you" is a recurring theme.

This alternative version reflects what might have been "Star Wars." However, If one detects many clues that will make the success of the saga, we can be glad that George Lucas has had the lucidity to get back to work, as a result lack of structure and the substance of the characters.

Conversely, it is regrettable that it has not given up some of its scriptwriting obsessions that appear in the second trilogy.

This album is a must have for any connoisseur of the universe of Star Wars, eager to discover the most distant origins and mysterious.

Very beautiful edition with superb illustrations "style" movie posters for each chapter heading, and graphic very didactic book on the sources of inspiration and graphic work to find the right balance between the Lucas archives and visual films. Graphic test on key scenes from another author, is included.

NB: useful supplements can be found in the exciting "it was a time of Star Wars - George Lucas Galaxy" He was 1 times the Star Wars galaxy George Lucas and stunning artbook "The origins of the myth Starwars" Star Wars - The origins of the myth.

May the Force be with you the other ...
