The first, untitled installment of The Keeper's World was published in Pizzazz 1 in October 1977. The entire story arc was reprinted in the UK in Star Wars Weekly 47–50 in 1978–79, and in the 1999 limited-release comic Star Wars 0.
Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Luke and Leia travel toward the Rebel base in the Akuria system to insure against a sudden Imperial counterattack on Yavin 4. En route to the planet, a mistake by R2-D2, who appears to not have been properly repaired after the Battle of Yavin, causes the ship to fly wildly off course and exit hyperspace in the middle of an Imperial fleet.
