The Empire Strikes Back Weekly 118 is the one hundred eighteenth issue of the Marvel Star Wars UK series of comic books. Starting with this issue, the series' title was changed from Star Wars Weekly as the adaptation of Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back began. The numbering continued from the previous title. This issue reprints the first of three parts of the story printed in the US as Star Wars 39: The Empire Strikes Back: Beginning, and also included a behind the scenes article about the making of the movie.
