4	In 1980, the People's Republic of UsefulNotes/{{China}} had a problem. It felt that young people needed to seek careers in science. The solution? Adapt a major Western ScienceFiction [[Film/ANewHope movie]] into Manhua form! It's unclear if the adaptation was authorized or not, but it did sell. A copy was posted on the internet in 2014, and rapidly was translated. It can be viewed beginning [[http://www.nickstember.com/chinese-star-wars-comic-part-1-6/ here]].

6	!!This work contains examples of the following:
7
8	* BackedByThePentagon: The PRC encouraged this to help get young people interested in science.
9	* BigWhat: From a loudspeaker.
10	* BoobsAndButtPose: Leia. Vader even mimics it, sort of.
11	* {{Crossover}}: The Trans-universal carrier [[http://www.nickstember.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Chinese_star_wars_comic_manhua_llianhuanhua5-1024x805.jpg looks a lot like]] Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato.
12	** One image of [[http://www.nickstember.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Chinese_star_wars_comic_manhua_llianhuanhua-53-1024x786.jpg Obi-Wan on a missile-firing motorcycle]] has a motorcycle based on one from ''Deathsport''.
13	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Leia is sentenced to a slow death.
14	* {{Cyborg}}: The Sand People.
15	* ExpoLabel: There is a door marked, "Door".
16	* GeniusBonus: The "Viking Piper" reference in one panel is to a [[https://www.genscape.com/blog/tracking-final-voyage-castoro-7-41-year-old-pipe-laying-vessel pipelaying barge]], whose career lasted for around forty years. She took that name at the beginning of 1981.
17	* HilariousInHindsight: This comic features several bits that pop up in later Star Wars stories, including Stormtroopers looking like Boba Fett, Stormtroopers going into battle with medical droids, using the force to fly through space, and IG-88 on the Death Star.
18	** Also may have inspired a bootleg toy, [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1230149-bootleg-knock-off "Star Knight"]].
19	* HotterAndSexier: Leia. Her attractiveness is a major part.
20	* KnightInShiningArmor: The Jedi Knights- on missile-firing motorcycles.
21	* ALongTimeAgoInAGalaxyFarFarAway: Subverted. Vader has a map of space referencing the Kennedy Space Center.
