While many of us are simply counting the days until the Dec. 18 release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Gerard Folz is channeling that anticipation into comics.

The cartoonist, who's collaborating with Seth Kushner on The Roman Nose, has kicked off a project in which he transforms one Star Wars scene each day into a comics panel. Dubbed #darthdays, the planned year-long project has already given us the initial confrontation between Darth Vader and Princess Leia, the Tatooine sunsets and Stormtroopers on the search for droids.
