"When Luke Skywalker was most vulnerable...
When a renegade hero became a friend in desperate need...
and a dark villain faced his greatest challenge...
When the Empire turned more and more to the forces of the underworld...
the underworld moved in to crush the Empire and the Rebellion in a single stroke.
After The Empire Strikes Back and before Return of the Jedi, there was a time when heroes and villains alike lived in the Shadows of the Empire."
'Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire was a multimedia project created by Lucasfilm Ltd. in 1996. The original idea was to create an interquel, a story set between the films Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi (a period which no Star Wars book had portrayed before), and to explore all commercial possibilities of a full motion picture release, without actually making the film. The venture paved the way for the theatrical releases of the original trilogy Special Editions in the following year, and the later releases of the Star Wars prequel trilogy.' - Wookieepedia
