Trivia

Although George Lucas is credited with writing the original Star Wars novel, it was actually written by Alan Dean Foster. His early involvement in the Star Wars universe gave him the opportunity to write the first expanded universe novel.
At the time it was written, the familial relationship between Luke, Leia, and Darth Vader had yet to be revealed. Therefore, some inconsistencies are evident and unavoidable.
The book was adapted as a graphic novel by Terry Austin and Chris Sprouse and published by Dark Horse Comics in 1996.
