Notes: Recreation of a scene from the 1977 motion picture Star Wars.
Ironically, this sequence appears following an editorial which complains how the cover to Marvel Comics' Star Wars #2 did not accurately depict how the scene in the Cantina appeared in the film; Gammill's version is considerably more violent than the motion picture as in the film Kenobi slices off Walrusman's arm; in this version he cleaves the Walrusman in two!
