Shadows of the Empire by Steve Perry
5.0
I read this for the first time in the summer of 1997. It was my first extended universe book which would lead into my love of the extended universe pre Disney purge. Now that the Skywalker movies are all done, I am going back into the old extended universe.
Due to my nostalgia, this is probably rated higher than it should. It contain the intro of my favorite EU character in Prince Xizor. I enjoyed it every time he appeared.
The book itself takes place between Ep 5 and 6 and prior to when they were called Episodes. It tells how Luke built his green saber, how the plan to rescue Han came about, and a side story about the finding the new Death Star. There is tension between Vader and Xizor for the Emperor’s attention.
I think it still holds up and it was fun to see what Disney/Lucas lifted to make canon later.
