A Look Back at Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996)

Welcome back science fiction enthusiasts, 20th century pop culture enthusiasts, Star Wars fans and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the year 1996 to examine the 3rd chapter of a very notable Star Wars storyline that took place between the films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi…Shadows of the Empire!  

With the first two issues of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire released (click here and here), the overall concept of the storyline has firmly been set and with sub-plots moving. This includes characters and developments that were not reflected nor referenced at in Return of the Jedi. At this stage, there is both excitement and suspense to look forward to.

With those details laid down, here is a look back at Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3, published in 1996 by Dark Horse Comics with a story written by John Wagner and drawn by Kilian Plunkett. This is the 3rd chapter of the 6-issue mini-series.  

Early story

The story begins with the gang of Gizman – including the newcomer Jix – who visit Jabba The Hutt in his palace for an important meeting. After expressing doubt about Jix, Jabba tells the gang that he is aware of Luke Skywalker’s presence in Tatooine and he has been signed near the former dwelling of Ben Kenobi. Jabba finds Skywalker more valuable to him dead. A short time later, Jix asked why does Jabba want Skywalker dead when Darth Vader will on pay for him to be living. This causes a bit of tension within the gang.

With R2D2 present with him at Obi-Wan’s old place, Luke Skywalker completed his brand-new lightsaber. Suddenly a laser blast almost hits them both and Luke realizes that the gang (which just met Jabba) is fast approaching them. The laser blast came from Jix who was told to hold his fire. Moments later, Luke takes down the first gang member who arrived using his new lightsaber…

Quality

Like issue #2, the intrigue and twists kept on happening as the pay-offs to the previous issue’s build-up got executed. Indeed, the story here moved Shadows of the Empire’s concept forward gradually and what was shown is both entertaining and engaging.

You will see here Luke Skywalker’s first-ever use of his then new green-colored lightsaber (the same one in Return of the Jedi) as he becomes a target of Jabba The Hutt who has a violent gang targeting him. Dash Rendar, arguably a creative stand-in for Han Solo in this storyline and also the playable protagonist in the Nintendo 64 video game, becomes even more important as he took the risk of involving himself with Luke as the gang attacked. The interaction between Dash and Luke here is believable to follow and makes a lot of sense within the context of this storyline.

What I found captivating here was the scene in which Darth Vader actually (and bravely) objected to Emperor Palpatine’s plan. The scene was pretty short but it was a powerful display of tension and even division between them. Along the way, Prince Xizor remains relevant with regards to the potential events waiting to happen while more of Boba Fett’s struggle being targeted (as the frozen body of Han Solo is a very valuable prize for other bounty hunters) by others was dramatized nicely.

Conclusion

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996) succeeded in moving the story developments forward while ending up being entertaining enough. The speed bike chase in Beggar’s Canyon along was exhilarating to see and the dramatic moments of the sub-plots had impact. Right now, I am convinced to keep on reading more of Shadows of the Empire.

Overall, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire #3 (1996) is recommended.

Haven't touched the game in nearly two decades, still got an A rank on the first level! Excuse the photo of a screen, as I'm playing with an N64 controller I don't have a screenshot button.

Uhhh, I almost forgot I had ordered these! I just received the 8BitDo N64 controllers in „Jungle“ green. These are awesome! 😁😎

Some thoughts on the #Analogue3D:

It is very cool and sleek hardware (see my terrible photo with my original #OcarinaOfTime module) and can be a lot of fun if you want to have a mostly authentic #N64 experience on modern FullHD or 4K screen.

There are a lot of things to consider if you are willing to invest so quite a bit of money into this console:

• Despite being a #FPGA device the system is not open, so no #OpenFPGA in the future which would you allow other to #misterFPGA cores/systems (open alternatives: misterFPGA, #M64 and the #SuperStationOne).
• Some promised stuff is missing such as save states and play time recording.
• The official controller has to be bought if you don't plan to use an original N64 controller. the Wireless NSO N64 by Nintendo controller is not compatible.
• The official #8BitDo controller does not correctly emulate an N64 controller which can be problematic in certain scenarios involving the C buttons.
• Butchered PAL versions with less FPS /slowdown etc are still butchered.
• A few games do have compatibility issues (which are being worked on).
• HDMI-CEC support is broken and hasn't been fixed for weeks.
• Analogue seems to fulfilling orders in a quite random sequence.
• The integrated fan can be quite annoying/loud, especially for people sensitive for highly pitched noises.
• Don't forget about import taxes.
• No bluetooth audio, so your partner can "enjoy" the Yoshi Story soundtrack with you.
• Maybe emulation is good enough for you? 🤷
• Flash carts do at this work, just get/build a #SummerCart64. Emulators written for N64 hardware emulating other system do not work though.

Randomly stumbled upon while playing the original game on my #Analogue3D. 😄

Today, I transferred my EverDrive 64 X7 from its stock red shell to a smoke grey color. I think this goes so well with the Analogue 3D of that same color.

It's already pretty late at night, but I just took a few more minutes to check out the EverDrive 64 X7.

Good news! My EverDrive arrived all set-up and ready with the latest bootloader installed, so it did work right out of the box with the Analogue 3D FPGA console! I just threw a bunch of .z64 ROMs on an SD-card and everything performed admirably. Even "large" games like Resident Evil 2 did load up within a few seconds. I like it!

Quest 64: I played the worst RPG on the Nintendo 64 — and I liked it!

My quest to play every RPG on the Nintendo 64 continues with Quest 64, often called the worst RPG on the system. But is it?

@cryptgoat @Turrican Ja, so ganz langsam vergeht mir auch der Spaß an EverDrives. Ich hatte das ED 64 X7 vor mittlerweile einem Monat für 168$ gekauft. Bisher habe ich immer noch keine gültige Sendungsnummer und auch keinen konkreten Termin. Das ist alles mega frustrierend.

Das SummerCart 64 wurde in nur drei Tagen geliefert und funktioniert tatsächlich tadellos im Analogue 3D.

I really love how the Analogue 3D uses its controller lights to visualize the status of a firmware update. It's such an elegant and intuitive solution!
