Turkey's publication of the Marvel Comics Star Wars movie adaptation came in 1982. Tercüman Çocuk was a weekly magazine that featured several comics, puzzles, and games. The Star Wars adaptation started with Tercüman Çocuk #4 on January 29, 1982. (The Tercüman Çocuk publication restarts the numbering every year.) Star Wars ran in the magazine for several years and the movie adaption was spread over many more issues than the U.S. editions. Turkish Tercüman Çocuk #12 from March 19, 1982 contains the 9th chapter in the movie adaption which is 4 pages long. The 4 Star Wars pages in this 52 page magazine are the last 2 pages from Star Wars #4 and the 2nd and 3rd pages from Star Wars #5. The splash page from Star Wars #5 is not included.

The cover is from U.S. Star Wars #41. The color choices for the background and asteroids as well as the heavier inks on the Millennium Falcon and the Star Destroy presents the art in a different light, so much so that one wouldn't immediately think of Star Wars #41 when they first see the cover.

Inside, the color palette is very limited. In one panel, Han Solo's hair is colored yellow to match Luke Skywalker's hair color.
