In their first adventure in the Kalarba system, Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio arrive at Hosk Station, where they meet the intergalactic criminal, Olag Greck! Originally serialized in Dark Horse Comics, this tale led into the events of the highly popular six-issue Droids series, and is collected here for the first time. The Droids Special features previously unpublished preliminary illustrations by Bill Hughes, and a new cover by Kilian Plunkett. Fans should also note that this is the story that marks an appearance by bounty hunter droid IG-88, and introduces Olag Greck, Xob, and the Corellian pilot, Jace Forno, to the Star Wars universe!

Before the clueless C-3PO and his clever companion R2-D2 fell into the sands of Tatooine for their first fateful meeting with Luke Skywalker, those two troublesome droids had some amazing adventures all their own! Sold to a junk trader and shipped off to the treacherous Kalarba system, Artoo and Threepio begin a journey that takes them from the jaws of a droid-eating beast to the frontlines of a revolution! Entagled with pirates, bounty hunters, and the notorious space criminal Olag Greck, they do their best to stick together in a dangerous galaxy where anything can happen!
C-3PO, R2-D2 and BB-8 are on a special mission to the desert planet of Tatooine for the Resistance, but between befriending banthas and cheering on pod races, BB-8 and R2-D2 are having a hard time focusing. What's a droid to do but have some fun in the sun? It's a good thing everyone's favorite protocol droid is on hand to keep the mission on track. But one thing is for certain, C-3PO does not like sand!
Based on the children's television cartoon series, Droids and Ewoks explores further adventures in the lives of the Ewoks on Endor and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. The Ewoks become embroiled in the dangers of their planet—lizard warriors, underwater kingdoms, magic spells—and the outside world—pirates, invaders, and more! The droids encounter more than one new master, war droids, megaweapons, time travel, and even Ewoks! This omnibus collects, for the first time, all the issues of the Ewoks and Star Wars: Droids comics series, released in the 1980s by Marvel's imprint Star Comics.
