In 1996 Joel McNeeley wrote a soundtrack to go with the
stand-alone Expanded Universe novel, Shadows of the Empire. The book
was the first of the Bantam Spectra series to depict events within
the Trilogy's timespan, i.e., between The Empire Strikes Back and
Return of the Jedi. All the other products, ranging from Hasbro's
Kenner Star Wars action figures to Nintendo 64 cartridges, would use
Perry's novel as a starting point and expand the story somewhat,
sticking to the essentials of the story of the Falleen crime lord
Prince Xizor's scheme to avenge his family's death after a
bio-warfare experiment directed by Darth Vader results in a lab
accident, forcing the Empire to sterilize part of Xizor's homeworld
by Star Destroyer bombardment. Xizor plans to bring Vader down in
the most painful manner -- by killing the young Jedi
Knight-in-training named Luke Skywalker, the most dangerous threat
to Emperor Palpatine...and Vader's son.
