The Top 13 STAR WARS VARIANTS!

A special STAR WARS WEEK edition of the Week’s Best VARIANTS!

It seems like there are more Marvel Star Wars #1 variants than there are star systems in the galaxy. Marvel’s got their own “official” ones but then there are the retailer exclusives. The artists could all probably make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs but we think there are 13 that deserve their own medal ceremony*:

* I don’t like running incomplete covers, i.e. those without full trade dress. And I don’t like running smaller, blurry or watermarked scans. But dang it, I tried finding good scans of every one of these but the Force wasn’t always with me.
