Spoilers, it took more than one thermal detonator down the garbage dump to turn the big bad's castle to concrete gravel, guess who set the stage for the fireworks to really bring down the house. And in the game you play as the resident, 'substitute Solo' Dash Rendar who gets his day in the limelight, steamrolling over stormtroopers, thugs, several AT-STs, even Fett and Xizor's personal rumble robot. While the comic tells the same story, it branches off into Bob's Fett's POV, showing how much of a hassle it was delivering Solo's popsicle butt to Jabba with rival bounty hunters you saw on the Executor out to Rob his meal ticket.

For those who love this awesome chapter in Star Wars history, I reccommend you binge on the aforementioned comic and games to literally see the 'Shadows' of the Empire. In a nutshell, it's good writing, smooth pacing like hyperspace, all eargasm! Except for the fact that this is only the abridged version, hence the one star short rating. Let your imagination do the visuals while the authentic trademark sound effects provide the icing on your experience. It's like watching a Star Wars movie without actually watching it. I've read the comic, played the game and nothing completes the experience like the audiobook. Shadows of the Empire is one the Star Wars EU's earliest pride of the litter. The centerpiece to the game and comic's cornerstones
