I was the perfect age when Star Wars was first released - 8 years old. I was of course blown away by the movie. May father picked up the Treasury Edition comic adaptation of the movie by Marvel for us kids shortly afterwards and I devoured it. This was well before the advent of VCR's and movies took about 4 years to go from the theaters to TV, so these big comics were the one way to keep the stories and characters fresh in my mind while waiting for the sequels, and I remember them fondly.
These two first faced off in a back-up tale in STF #2184...
