Stylistic Differences
- In episode 4, Leia's classic cinnamon bun hairstyle is accentuated with a trailing portion of hair hanging beneath.
- In episode 4 volume 3 when Kenobi battles Darth Vader, the lightsaber duel is much more elaborate and more fluid as per the typical manner in manga.
- In episode 6 volume 2 when Leia kills Jabba the Hutt , he vomits more, Leia attacks a Gamorrean guard with a staff, and she is grabbed when swinging by Luke, and Darth Vader's eyes are stylistically reminiscent of super deformed.
Notes
- To conform to Western standards, the art was copied in mirror-image in order to be read from left-to-right.
