Star Wars Omnibus: Shadows of the Empire (Star Wars: The Rebellion) Kindle & comiXology

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 117 ratings

Collects Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #1-6, Star Wars: Mara Jade - By The Emperor's Hand #0-6, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire - Evolution #1-5. In the time between the events in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Princess Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca attempt to rescue Han Solo from the notorious bounty hunter Boba Fett, while the criminal Prince Xizor and Darth Vader make plans to control, or destroy, the leaders of the Rebel Alliance. Shadows of the Empire was a multimedia Star Wars event - a film-without-the-film - in which a major story was told across a series of novels, comic books, role-playing games, a video game, and trading cards. Shadows even had its own soundtrack. Included here is the complete comic series as well as two stories that followed in its wake: Mara Jade: By the Emperor's Hand, the story of the Imperial assassin who would one day wed the New Republic's greatest hero, Luke Skywalker; and Shadows of the Empire: Evolution, a direct sequel to Shadows of the Empire.

Long Live the True Star Wars Expanded Universe forever..... The shadow of the empire stories, and the story of Mara jade are one of the several beginnings of the True Star Wars Expanded Universe launched in the 1990's.

The first two stories in this collection are AMAZING. The last one....not so much. Shadows of the Empire is a classic story about the events between ESB & ROTJ. Mara Jade; Emperors Hand is a story about one of the Emperor's agents maneuvering for survival in the aftermath of the battle of Endor. Shadows of the Empire: Evolution is a story about a 'replica droid' seeking to be reprogrammed. It's kind of silly for the most part. It's whatever. But the first two stories make it worth it.

Stories about Prince Xizor, Mara Jade, and Guri around the events immediately preceding and following Return of the Jedi. Great to see those iconic characters in illustrated form.

Shadows of the Empire is great but the others weren't much to speak of in yerms of story and artwork

I may buy the physical copy of it sometime, just to complete my collection. The first series is the shadows of the empire the second one is the emperor's hand, and the third is the evolution series
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2015
Thoroughly enjoyed experiencing superb artwork - some of the scenes were breathtaking, even on a 10" tablet - and carefully plotted and intersected storylines that form the fibres of the Star Wars tapestry. I have read many SW Omnibus editions and the overall visual experience on this compilation was especially enjoyable

This captures three complete classic adventures set after TROTJ. They are well written and illustrated. A nice collection to add to the mythic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Omnibus Star Wars
Reviewed in Italy on April 27, 2021
Dal 1977, anno di apparizione del primo film, miliardi di fan hanno potuto apprezzare queste storie. Accanto ai 9 film (più spin off) sono apparse serie animate, libri e centinaia di puntate di storie a fumetti, che accanto ai personaggi principali hanno inserito un intero universo di storie e di nuovi protagonisti. Qui abbiamo uno dei tanti filoni a fumetti, in formato kindle a prezzo ridicolo (in offerta) per un volume di centinaia di pagine. Che altro ?

I read the novel years ago and still have the graphic novels somewhere safe(too safe), so decided to purchase it on my kindle as a treat to me as I love the shadows books plus the added emperors hand story arc clinched it.

Really good stories and quite a shame the movie based on this was never made. That art is quite sub-par though but doesn't prevent from enjoying the story.
