The minds behind the Star Wars galaxy have created a phenomenon of epic proportions, designed to unfold in nearly every medium at their disposal. This intensely researched volume guides you through this Star Wars event--as its creators reveal the secrets behind the multimedia release of the year. The tendrils of this dark drama will reach throughout the Star Wars galaxy:

--Leia, Lando, and Dash Rendar launch an all-out attempt to rescue Han Solo in a state-of-the-art Nintendo video game.
--Xizor's agents search the galaxy for Luke Skywalker in the taut comic book mini-series. Their mission: kill the son of Vader.
--The secrets of the Imperial homeworld are revealed in brilliantly painted trading cards.
--A fully orchestrated soundtrack and exciting new Star Wars action figures embellish the adventure.
STAR WARS: THE SECRETS OF SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE provides the official guide to the heroes, the villains, and all the major combatants.
When this war is over, only one will control the Empire's violent
underworld. . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars An Ambitious Pre-Prequel Project, April 12, 2006
By 
This review is from: The Secrets of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (Paperback)
For Star Wars fans of the mid-Nineties, liking Star Wars was actually a defining characteristic - it wasn't frowned upon as Star Trek unfortunately is - and any new info or project was savagly consumed. So, when Lucasfilm announced it's 'Star Wars Movie Without The Movie', fans were thrilled.
This book ties together every chapter unveiled in multimedia (the book, the comic, the toys, the CD, and the video game) and weaves together the entire story, from inception to execution. It's not narrative of course, it's a guide, but for anyone who wants the entire story of Episode V 1/2 compiled or explained, or just wants to revisit 1996, this is a great book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, October 7, 2003
This book answers a lot of questions yet raises many more. How did Black Sun start? What deadly flaw was the Emporer hiding? A very interesting read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, June 4, 1999
This review is from: The Secrets of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (Paperback)
This is the first Star Wars book I've completed. It's good and falls right in place with the rest of the Star Wars trilogy.
