Star Wars Infinities: Return of the Jedi Paperback
by Adam Gallardo (Author), Ryan Benjamin (Artist), Salem Crawford (Artist)
The Star Wars version of Marvel’s What If…
When the plan to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt falls apart, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, and Chewbacca embark on another rescue mission that puts them into direct conflict with Boba Fett.
Meanwhile, Luke’s late arrival on Dagobah ends with him being captured by Darth Vader and the Emperor, just as the second Death Star is about to go on-line! Will the return of the Jedi become the end of the Jedi? The surprising climax is as exciting as that of the film on which it is based, but different from anything Star Wars fans have seen before!

Using the same concept – “the events and players are very familiar but something isn’t quite right” – this opens with Princess Leia as Boush going to see Jabba but when the intergalactic gangster pushes C3P0 aside, he knocks the droids head off. Without Threepio to translate, Leia has to remove her mask, gets captured earlier and Boba Fett runs off with Han’s body still encased in carbonite.
This was good fun and the characters worked well – Luke doesn’t get as much to do as I’d have liked and Han is left blind for the whole story (he’s been in the carbonite too long) and R2-D2 seems to get forgotten but Leia is wonderfully feisty. The story concept didn’t work quite as well for me as the New Hope one did (and the final page is odd, to say the least) but it moved at a good pace and looks spectacular (and I love the Ewoks attacking everyone in sight). Well worth a read if you’re a Star Wars fan.
