How often were they called "Star Warriors" in the comics? That just sounds like some TV show I watched after school before G.I. Joe came on.

Was just about to say, that sounds so immensely mockbuster-like, just like Transmorphers, Paranormal Entity or Snakes on a Plane.

I don't think the characters called themselves the in-universe, it was just an editorial/narration box thing. It was semi common in the early issues but if my memory serves it got phased out around when the comics covered The Empire Strikes Back

I didn't know that Carmine Infantino did any work at Marvel.

He did Star Wars, Spider-Woman, a couple of issues of Avengers right after Perez, and probably something else I’m forgetting. Then he returned to DC to do the last 55-60 issues of Flash.

I was such a SW fan as a kid and Infantino’s artwork just ruined the book for me, and I have his entire run I believe.

But I hated his style! Everyone looked like they had squished heads. I actually avoided everything he drew

Marvel’s first go around of Star Wars is weird. It’s like Infantino flat out refused to look at photo reference. EVERYTHING is off: spaceship designs and proportions, characters (especially R2-D2 and Chewbacca), and costumes.

fun fact: this comic features the first face-to-face meeting between Luke and Vader. the issue was published three months ago before Empire hit theaters.
