Star Wars Shadows Of The Empire!!!

in 1996 or so the star wars creators thought they might make a fim between empire strikes back and return of the jedi but they backed down from the idea fairly fast and instead made a massive campaign for toys and the movies etc this was a pre trailer for the movie and was later used for the campaign

no they actually thought about it at one point

'shadows' should have been made into a movie

Back then when i wanted the movie made, i pictured Val Kilmer as Dash. The way he used to act in Willow reminded me of a poor mans Harrison Ford.

This was a multimedia effort with Lucasfilm and Lucasarts for Nintendo, Windows, Kenner, Dark Horse Comics, and Bantam Books. While it's true that Lucas considered doing a similar story as a film it would have only been during the 80's and only if Lucas could muster the funds, time, and effort in order to get the project done, and this is the big one this could have been a film only if the story was given to him in that time period.

@treklover1109 I'm VERY knowledgeable regarding Star Wars and much of the EU and I've NEVER heard of ANY indication they seriously thought of making this a film. This was intended to be exactly what we got...a mutli-format campaign crossing over through books (a canon novel: where it all started), music (there was an actual soundtrack made for the BOOK), video games (Nintendo 64), toys, & comics. Each one told the story from a different viewpoint (the comics focused on the bounty hunters').

George needs to green-light Shadows and Zahn's Thrawn trilogy into animated features like Clone Wars.  Hell, give us Dark Empire 1!

Its so annoying how George doesn't do this. If they can do it for things like Dead Space and Halo, then I'm sure it can happen for Star Wars.

I was gonna call George up when i as 17 and ask him if he and I could make this movie but its too late now

well I've got the book at least :-)

They never intended to make it into a film, sad to say. I'm sure if the idea was thought of nowadays, it might have been made as a CGI-animated film much like Clone Wars. The adventure was a nice pre-Special Edition project and was quite popular at the time. however, the story, along with its characters have dwindled into obscurity. Lucas later focused his attention on the prequel characters so Shadows is now the 90's equivalent to what 'Splinter of the Mind's Eye' was to the 70's.

Damn, they should have gone through with this! And then the secondary antagonist in the prequel trilogy could have been Black Sun rising to power, instead of the trade federation.

Would have been great. If Lucas hadn't directed it.
