Written by Jo Duffy, Ann Nocenti, Roy Richardson, and Randy Stradley. Art By Bret Blevins, Sal Buscema, Jan Duursema, Ron Frenz, Tom Mandrake, David Mazzucchelli, and Bob Mcleod. Cover by Tony Salmons and Tom Palmer.

Dark Horse Comics presents the latest volume of Star Wars: A Long Time Ago... featuring classic Star Wars stories not seen in over twenty years and an amazing, "All Star" line-up of creators!

Originally printed by Marvel Comics, these stories have been meticulously re-colored and are sure to please both new and old Star Wars fans. The events in "Wookie World" take place after Return of the Jedi as our beloved Star Wars gang establishes a base of leadership for their newly freed galaxy on the planet Endor.

The stories in this volume take us on solo and team adventures with our favorite galactic heroes. In "The Alderaan Factor," a stranded Princess Leia fights for her life with another native of her destroyed home world - an Imperial trooper! Lando Calrissian goes to the aid of an old flame and becomes enmeshed in a planet's struggle between democracy and aristocratic rule in "Sweetheart Contract." Han Solo and Chewbacca set out on an old-fashioned treasue hunt in "Seoul Searching" and manage to thwart an Imperial plot. And much more!

Introduction by Star Wars writer and editor Randy Stradley!

At that moment, the demon Carolei appears at the home of the Druid with the purpose of retrieving the tome and killing all within the Druid1s home.
