George Lucas was such a fan of it that he reportedly commented that he would have made the story into an actual Star Wars film if he had the time and effort to do so in the early 80s.
Ultimately, the project was very successful. The story itself, Shadows Of The Empire, was set in the period of time between The Empire Strikes Back (TESB) and The Return Of The Jedi (TROJ)-at this point in time, an area no Expanded Universe property had explored. The challenge was to create a Star Wars property that explored all the commercial possibilities available short of making a brand new film. This was an experiment done by Lucasfilm Ltd. Otherwise, Nine-Gear Crow and I want to take a hybrid approach and look at the entire Shadows Of The Empire project as a whole. If all you want to do is watch someone play a video game, feel free to just follow the VLPs. This will be a hybrid LP of the Nintendo 64 release of Shadows Of The Empire.
