Contemporary Motivators: Star Wars is a comic book adaptation of the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. It is part of Pendulum Press's Contemporary Motivators series, published in 1978. Contemporary Motivators does not strictly follow the events of A New Hope, as dialog does not precisely match the movie, and the location of some scenes are altered, if not removed altogether. The black-and-white images of the comic were used for the Old School Star Wars Filmstrip. The panels were used without the speech bubbles and were colored, sometimes cropped.
