Most of you, by one vote, said you are still deciding and waiting on buying passes, etc. for Celebration IV (followed by "Hell yeah! See you at the con!")

I loved the AOTC comic adaptation, it was spot on! *goes back to watching the Star Wars marathon on Cinemax*

i liked the Marvel ANH 1977 because of all the quirky stuff. Like Vader drinking coffie & picking up Bens robes with his lightsabre blade & Leia being the daughter of Bail Antillies & Jabba the Hut as a yellow furry walrus man.

I can also think of Vader yelling, "By the immortal gods of the Sith!", but one of my favourite things about Marvel's Star Wars adaptation is the hyperbolic covers. (One of them shows Luke and Obi-Wan taking on the entire cantina as Luke shouts, "Swing that light-sabre, Ben--or we're finished!")

Bwahahaha! I'll have to use those lines in fan fic sometime ;).

I've got to lead off with the disclaimer that I've only read the Marvel adaptations, but of those three I suppose I'd pick their TESB comics. The art is better than with Star Wars, and it had six issues to tell the story as opposed to four with Return of the Jedi. Still, I'd put in a very good word for the manga versions Dark Horse released in the late 1990s. Of course, I like their art styles to begin with (while acknowledging that they would have looked different if they'd been drawn back in the late 1970s/early 1980s), but they managed to tell their stories without all the extra dialogue and captions added to the Marvel versions.

I loved the artowrk in the Dark Horse edition of ROTS. It was very lifelike, especially the panel with Anakin waking up from his nightmare about Padme.

I love Doug Wheatley's art as a whole. He and Jan Duursema are my modern SW comic faves.
