Fans looking for a diversion as they count down to the December premiere of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” may want to visit Line Webtoon, an online portal for free digital comics founded in South Korea.

On Thursday the site will present the United States premiere of “Star Wars,” a series that will explore the original film trilogy and that opens with a story told from the perspective of Luke Skywalker during his formative years with his uncle and aunt on Tatooine. “Stars Wars,” written and drawn by Hong Jacga, made its premiere in South Korea in April, and translated installments will be available on Thursdays and Sundays.

The appeal of new “Stars Wars” material should not be underestimated. In August, three Marvel series set between “Stars Wars” and “The Empire Strikes Back” ranked in the Top 10 comics sold to retailers: “Stars Wars” was at No. 2, “Darth Vader” at No. 4 and “Lando” at No. 10.
