Some would just say it's straight up better than the American comic book adaptation, which I had back in the 80s. Yeah, I liked my comic, but the colours were weird and the faces of the stars didn't really come out that well.
From starwars.com, a comparison of the Japanese manga version, to the original comic, including a critique of how the original made several flaws:
Compare those simple frames to the frenetic energy and violence, Japanese-style:
Wow - incredible... using just simple lines and frames, the Japanese version carries a lot more humour and weight. For example, the Star Wars site uses the infamous cantina scene to show how the Japanese used years of fanboyism to really create the cantina:
Oh, hello ladies! Nice to see you here, too. I'll just step up for a drink. Hey, I don't like your face either!
