Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire Commercial (1996) *HD Remastered*

This commercial was a trailer for the Star Wars novel “Shadows of the Empire.“ The multimedia project made in 1996. This just used clips from the original trilogy and a voiceover narration. Originally, it was cropped to full-frame, for television format of 1996; it is now in widescreen and in higher quality for this remastered version. I tried to recreate it as best I could. Enjoy! “Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is a 1996 multimedia project created by Lucasfilm. The idea was to create a story set between the films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and to explore all commercial possibilities of a full motion picture release without actually making a film. The venture was intended to reinvigorate interest in the franchise ahead of the theatrical Special Editions of the Star Wars trilogy released the following year. Several products were released, including a novel, a junior novelization, a comic book series, a video game, a soundtrack, trading cards, role-playin
