German Krieg der Sterne: Das Imperium Schlägt Zurück #1 and 2

Back when the original trilogy was released, it was common for movies to be released to different countries at widely different dates.  The Empire Strikes Back was released to theaters in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom on May 21st, 1980. It then began rolling out weekly to other countries for the next nine months and some countries like Hungary, Turkey, and Poland did not receive the movie for a few years.  West Germans did not have to wait years to see the movie, but they did wait over 6 months when it was released on December 11th.  At the time, Egmont Ehapa had the license to publish Star Wars comics in German and they released the movie adaptation in two issues.

Krieg der Sterne: Das Imperium Schlägt Zurück #1a - Egmont Ehapa, Germany (1980)
contains Star Wars #39 - 41

Krieg der Sterne: Das Imperium Schlägt Zurück #2a - Egmont Ehapa, Germany (1980)
contains Star Wars #42 - 44

The cover for Krieg der Sterne: Das Imperium Schlägt Zurück #1a is the same as the cover for Marvel Super Special #16.  The artwork inside the cover from Marvel Super Special #16 is uses for the cover for Krieg der Sterne: Das Imperium Schlägt Zurück #2a.

My dad was stationed at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany when the Empire Strikes Back came out and I have fond memories of seeing the movie at the theater near base housing in Kaiserslautern.  Some of the German comics in my collection are from my childhood including these two issues.
