[edit] Synopsis

The fan-film is based, basically, on Steve Perry's Shadows of the Empire novel, and portrays the story between the Episode V and the Star Wars Episode VI films. Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, with the help of Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, Wedge Antilles and the Rogue Squadron, try to rescue Han Solo from the hands of Boba Fett. They now can count with one of the best pilots in the Galaxy, Dash Rendar. And it's not only them that are pursuing Fett, other bounty hunters want to deliver Solo in Carbonite to Jabba.

At the same time, the Emperor orders that Darth Vader capture Luke Skywalker. However, a villain that lives in the shadows of the Empire desires to take the place of Vader at the Emperor's side, and this villain is Prince Xizor, leader of a powerful illegal organization, the Black Sun. So, Luke find himself in the middle of a war between two of the most powerful beings of the galaxy.

The Rebel Alliance, with the Bothans, can get secret plans of the Death Star II, and Leia goes to Xizor to try to help Luke, but she didn't know what were the real goals of the Dark Prince.

The final battle promises to be one of the most exiting of the Star Wars Saga. In the end Xizor and his army, Vader and his Imperial Fleet and Luke and his friends will battle above Coruscant, the Imperial Center.
