GENERAL INFORMATION
Shadows of the Empire is
a multimedia project
created by Lucasfilm in 1996. It was based on a story
set between the movies The Empire Strikes Back
and Return of the Jedi (a time where no Star
Wars
book had gone before).
Several products were
released during that year:
a novel, a comic series, a video game, trading cards,
a soundtrack, a roleplaying game, toy figurines,
vynil dolls and so on. Everything, except the motion
picture.
The main story is told by
the novel, written by Steve
Perry, the comic series by Dark Horse and the
Nintendo 64 game. If you just read the book for
instance, you'll have the sensation something is
missing. In order to understand everything, you
must collect all three products.
This page serves as a tie-in
for all products, and
also as a resource for all Shadows of the Empire
material available on the net. I will always be adding
new information. I hope you enjoy visiting it.
