Blasted Biggs..Where Are You?
In the original version of Star Wars ANH we never really know who Biggs is beyond his appearance in the Death Star Assault. In Special Edition – we get an extra 2 mins where Luke greets Biggs on Yavin 4 before launching. Beyond that Biggs is just a footnote in the main Star Wars movies….but thanks to the Expanded Universe and Dark Horse Comics..the full story of Biggs Darklighter is known.
We recently picked up the Star Wars 30th Anniversary Volume 7 Biggs Darklighter – and WOW what a great read with a solid story and top notch art.
I had never really though much about Biggs before – but after reading his full story I’ll never watch those fatefull last few minutes of his life in the Death Star trench the same way again.
Biggs Darklighter lived and breathed, taught Luke how to fly – joined the Rebel Alliance and helped them to get X-Wing Fighters (among other things).
This special 30th anniversary hardcover story is a MUST HAVE for Star Wars fans and is easily one of the best volumes yet in this incredible graphic novel collection series.
