This comic from Star Wars Tales #1 has always been one of my favorite EU stories. Before reading it, I never knew such a fascinating story could be told about "Red" from ANH. I wish this was canon.
yeah i lucked out and got every issue of star wars tales exept the last one (1-23) for 20 bucks at a comic book shop. considering the 6 trade paperbacks would be 120 bucks, i consider that a deal of a lifetime. i'll have to track down issue 24 if i can get it for cheap enough. anyway yeah i loved that story, r5-d4 is one of my favorite droids.
