Lucas Wars Hardcover Graphic Novel Coming Soon

---

A new hardcover graphic novel called Lucas Wars is coming soon and both Star Wars fans & comic collectors alike should take note. Originally published in 2024 as a French release, this translated to English version is set to release in the US on September 16, 2025.



From the Publisher:

Rebellious child who cheated death. Indomitable visionary. And mastermind behind one of the world's most enduring fandoms: Star Wars.

"An epic tale of creative struggles and triumph." —Jeffrey Brown, bestselling author of Darth Vader and Son

In a tale befitting the saga he created, Lucas Wars follows George Lucas’s journey from aimless dreamer to filmmaking trailblazer and prodigy of the New Hollywood movement. While his fellow rising stars—directors like Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, and Martin Scorsese—craft The Godfather, Jaws, and Taxi Driver, Lucas follows his childhood dreams and begins work on an epic fantasy . . . which, he soon discovers, is not without its epic challenges.

Writer Laurent Hopman and artist Renaud Roche dive deep into the creative process behind Star Wars: A New Hope, from the hell of casting to the nightmare of filming. Lucas is forced to juggle actor quarrels, a secret love affair, costume and set mishaps, and constant pushback from film execs. But despite it all, a landmark movie emerges—one that changes the medium of film forever.

Lucas Wars is an exhilarating underdog story and a unique glimpse into the world of cinema. But most of all, it’s an ode to the magic of childhood and the value of perseverance.

The book is extremely well done with a clean and unique style of artwork, easy to read dialogue, and an honest look at how it all went down.
