504: Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #52 "TO TAKE THE TARKIN"


Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics is back! We break down Issue 52: TO TAKE THE TARKIN from July 1981 with our good friend Spencer Jawitz (Virtual Cantina Network). In this issue, our heroes infiltrate the Empire’s new battle station, The Tarkin. Will history repeat itself where they destroy the massive station or will Darth Vader stop them this time - that is if he survives the plot from within the Empire’s ranks to kill him? We share our thoughts on the storytelling, artwork, and when to "Hurl a Berl". But most of all, we learn some great new Star Wars expletives on the level of "Dank Farrik!" That's some Hockaleg, right there.

 

Today in Star Wars History -February 25, 1986

 

Return Of The Jedi was released on VHS and Betamax for $79.99. This is the first time a film is released worldwide on home video to help reduce piracy.
