This soooo takes me back! Shadows of the Empire was such a sick n64 game! Naturally it led me to getting the graphic novel! So good! Great coverage of Dash in this video! Can't wait to bring him to life in film!
I'm sure it'll turn out epic! I do wish I could have found better quality footage of the game for this video. Sadly I don't have a way to upscale it. Some day we'll have life action footage of him I can use.

I almost cut that bit out but it kept making me laugh so... I hope others enjoy it. You always see the cleaned up versions, never the dozens of takes some times.
Nice work on the video. Hope there is more Shadows of the empire lore to come out in future. Feel free to use those Prince Xizor a.i. pics. Also sent you a pm with more pics.
Of course, there are SO many people to cover before I can even get into the finer points of anything really. Sort of the fun, so much content still to come on the channels. Years of it to be honest. Star Wars is a rich lore.. But I will get to specific events and other fine details as we go along. :)
The people that made the EU really tried to make it like George's Star Wars (sort of a double-edged sword but overall very good) and were big fans of Star Wars as well as the people that made the Prequels. Kotor, Darth Bane, and the Yuuzhan Vong were probably the most creative and furthest away from George's Star Wars that was seen. Disney Star Wars was replicating what had already been done mixed in with postmodernism, deconstruction, and nihilism. Fans can come up with really unique ideas, but they can also struggle to create new things within an established Intellectual property, which I liken to what Plato said that the most creative idea is always the original source and never the copy or derivatives.
You’re absolutely right that the EU authors, much like George Lucas himself, were deeply passionate about Star Wars and worked within a framework that respected the mythology while expanding it in bold, sometimes unprecedented directions. The creativity in stories like Knights of the Old Republic, the Darth Bane trilogy, and the Yuuzhan Vong War reflects an understanding of the Star Wars ethos while pushing its boundaries in ways Lucas never explicitly envisioned. These works explored themes of moral ambiguity, the evolution of the Force, and existential threats that went beyond the traditional Sith-Jedi dichotomy. On the other hand, Disney-era Star Wars often appears to echo existing beats and themes, sometimes to its detriment. It’s like they’re remixing the surface elements-lightsabers, space battles, and rebellion-while stripping away the deeper Campbellian underpinnings and archetypal storytelling that made Star Wars resonate across generations. This shift can feel like postmodern pastiche: deconstructing the mythos without always offering a meaningful reconstruction in its place. The result can sometimes lean into nihilism, where the sense of hope and renewal intrinsic to Star Wars feels diminished. Your Plato reference is spot on. In his Republic, Plato’s theory of Forms suggests that all copies-be they artistic, literary, or cultural-are inevitably shadows of the original ideal. Star Wars, as envisioned by Lucas, was the Form: a synthesis of mythological storytelling, spiritual inquiry, and cinematic innovation. The EU was, in a sense, a dialogue with that Form, an inspired derivation that still sought to honor the source. Disney's take, arguably, feels more like a copy of a copy, where the focus sometimes shifts from creating meaning to recreating nostalgia. However, the struggle to create something genuinely new within an established IP isn’t unique to Star Wars. It’s a universal challenge for creators working within pre-defined worlds, where innovation must coexist with fidelity to the source material. True creativity within such a framework often comes not from discarding the past but from reinterpreting it. This is what made EU contributions like Kotor so successful-they didn’t just expand the sandbox; they redefined the stakes while staying true to the spirit of the galaxy far, far away. At its best, Star Wars inspires its fans to weave their own myths, and that’s where fan creativity thrives. But you’re right-it’s a delicate balance. The greatest successes occur when the creators understand the why behind the story, not just the what. And maybe, just maybe, that’s the lesson we keep coming back to: it’s not enough to wield the lightsaber. You have to understand what it means. I hope you're doing well this Christmas.

@@OutcastCantina Thank you for the thoughtful reply, and a marry Christmas to you. I hope you'll explore Star Wars Legacy on your channel, as its one of my personal favorite EU stories.
