*** Originally published to coincide with the movie (and the relaunch of the comic), the adaptation appeared again in the weekly's final months.
Marvel's US distribution of the Super Special created an unexpected headache because, inadvertently, copies shipped earlier than planned and went on sale too early, revealing the story line (and its revelations) before Lucasfilm planned. Mark Hammill apparently spotted copies on-sale and blew the whistle.
The proliferation of limited series meant this was the first Star Wars movie adaptation from Marvel to appear outside the normal run of the US monthly comic book.
