A New Hope
A New Hope: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker | George Lucas
20 posts | 13 read | 6 to read
Written by George Lucas, the producer and writer of the STAR WARS trilogy, STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE tells the story of Luke Skywalker. Luke lives and works on his father's farm on the remote planet of Tatooine. Bored beyond belief, he yearns for adventures out among the stars, adventures that would take him beyond the farthest galaxies to distant and alien worlds. But Luke gets more than he bargains for when he intercepts a cryptic message from a beautiful princess held captive by a dark and powerful warlord. Luke doesn't know who she is, but he knows he has to save her - and soon, because time is running out. Armed only with courage and the lightsaber that was his father's, Luke is catapulted into the middle of the most savage space war ever... and heads straight for a desperate encounter on the enemy battle station known as the Death Star...

1. Yes, Star Wars: A New Hope & Wonder Woman and maybe a few other ones like that.
2. As far as I can remember, they were simply novelizations of the screenplays, so about the same.
3. Maybe Black Panther. Especially if they got more into Shuri‘s story.

Scochrane26 I think there are comic books where Shuri is the MC. 4y
wanderinglynn @Scochrane26 👍🏻 I‘m not a huge comic book reader. So I‘m sure there‘s a lot out there that I don‘t know about. 😀 4y
Scochrane26 @wanderinglynn I‘m not either. I tend to only read comics for book challenges. I like some GNs. 4y
BookmarkTavern I think there‘s a YA or middle grade novelization of Black Panther. And I‘m pretty sure there‘s a Shuri novel too. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing. 4y

First Edition of the first movie novelization released in 1976. Found it in a local bookshop when I was a teenager. It's a little beat up, but the spine is still intact and all the pages are still in great shape, albeit yellowed around the edges. Love the original Ralph McQuarrie art on the cover!

I would definitely recommend this book to any who proclaim themselves to be a geek of the Star Wars universe. This is definitely a must if you love The Holy Trilogy.

#BookHaul! I'm out in Eaton Rapids, MI for the UrbanAirstream festival weekend. There was a book sale in the library, so of course I had to check it out 📖 I found a novel adaptation of A New Hope, First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones, and a 1940 copy of The Bobsey Twins at Indian Hollow! Huzzah!

CrowCAH Love the MI ✋🏻 napkin holder! 6y

1. I was already in my 20s when I first read them, but my comfort books will always be Harry Potter.
2. I am definitely of the original Star Wars generation.
3. In kindergarten I sang the Pointer Sisters "I Want a Man With a Slow Hand" for the class. Evidently the teacher was scandalized and my parents were scolded for letting me listen to such music. I'm kinda proud of this.

So I purchased “From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker by George Lucas”. In later years, it was republished under the title Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope to reflect the retroactive addition of episodic subtitles to the theatrical film titles. I‘m about to start reading this title. I‘m so excited and have been waiting for this 1976 collectors edition for months.

What kind of reading did your parents introduce you to? My mother's truly epic collection of science fiction spans multiple rooms and shelves. I learned to look deeper into the world because of these books. My mother and wife are both voracious readers and I love that my life now is surrounded by much loved books. #thingsmyparentstaughtme
