Makes me interested in looking for a Cinebooks English edition of this French comic!
One of the comic's artists even drew a meeting between Luke and Leia and the comic's main characters!
Wiki translation of the French captions => "Fancy meeting you here!" says Leia. "Oh, we've been hanging around here for a long time!" retorts Laureline. ( *Since 1967!)
Y'know, we had two of those Ralph McQuarrie concept paintings hanging on our wall back in the late 1970s. Very cool stuff (though I was too young to understand the concept of "concept" and couldn't work out why they didn't look/appear like in the film itself), but goodness knows what happened to them. I expect my Dad took them when he went majorly AWOL and left home (along with a really cherished book on The Elephant Man that was a gift from John Hurt).
Man I wish we still had those very, very cool movie collectibles.
