"There's no time for Luke to wonder what became of the Outrider. He still has to get the Falcon safely away. The Force is strong in the Jedi as he pilots the ship out of danger. Unbeknownst to anyone, Dash is counting his lucky stars that he was able to kick the Outrider into hyperspace just before the skyhook debris smashed his ship. He considers contacting the Rebels, but figures it better to keep silent -- for now. Too bad, because it was revealed that the missile Dash "missed," the one that killed those Bothans, was among the Empire's new indestructible models. Maybe he'll catch up with Luke again, someday...."
card #71: Dash's secret getaway
The Shadows of the Empire card set from Topps represents all three platforms that tells the story - the book, the comic series and the game, making it a unique storytelling medium and a highly anticipated collectible. The cards are the work of Greg and Tim Hildebrandt, the twin artists who painted the most recognizable Star Wars art of all time - the world-famous poster that is still an icon of the trilogy. This 100 card set features double UV-coating and an extra-thick 20 pt. card stock for everlasting collectibility, all with full-bleed painted images on a 21/2" x 31/2" card. The Shadows of the Empire card series is highlighted by 72 cards that virtually storyboard the events in Steve Perry's novel. Besides that, there are six cards dedicated to vehicles, other six to the comics and another six keyed to the video game. Each pack comes with nine cards.
