Trivia
Amstrad CPC port
This game was advertised for the Amstrad CPC. It does not appear to have come out for that computer, however.
Title
Whilst clearly alluding to the second Star Wars film, the game's title is inspired by a famous front cover headline used by Newsweek magazine during the conflict. International perception was that this was Britain's first involvement in a proactive war aimed at protecting its international territories since the British Empire collapsed in 1948.
