Classic Star Wars 10

Classic Star Wars 10 is the tenth issue of the Classic Star Wars series, published by Dark Horse Comics.

This particular Classic series were reformatted and colored reprints of the Star Wars daily newspaper strip by Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson from the early 1980s. Williamson supplied new panels and art to flow the stories for traditional comic format.

Publisher's summary

Following the frightening threat of the Night Beast, Luke and inadvertent stowaway Threepio travel to the desert world of Aridus – ostensibly to ensure the continuation of the Rebel Alliance's weapons-smuggling operation there. But Luke is more interested in checking out rumors of a mysterious stranger who's appeared on Aridus claiming to be... Ben Kenobi!

WHAT HAS COME BEFORE As the Rebels fight off Imperial forces attacking their Yavin base, an Imperial bomber crashes into the ruins at the ancient Massassi ruins rousing the fearsome Night Beast. The Beast fights and easily defeats Chewbacca and shrugs off blaster fire from Luke and Han before disappearing without a trace. Chewie is rescued, and a search for the Beast is undertaken - to no avail. The Rebels discover that the Beast was left as a guardian of the Massassi ruins by its original inhabitants. Luke finally uses the Force to ferret out the Beast in a maze of underground tunnels below the ruins. After a tense battle with the Beast, Luke communicates to it a means of rejoining its masters, and it sets off to find them.
