NOTE: Shadows Of The Empire was designed to cover the events between The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi, but the story line does not confine itself to this time period, taking place before, during and after The Empire Strikes Back. To help deconstruct the story I have developed a Shadows Of The Empire index. The story has been divided into three parts Prologue, Main Story and Epilogue. The Prologue takes place almost directly after The Empire Strikes Back.

     The bulk of the Shadows story line, as outlined in the index, takes place here; the reasons are very simple: 1. The Bothan tapes for the Death Star do not come into existence until Shadows of The Empire and in Lahsbane the heroes are looking for them. 2. since in Marvel #67 a search for Han Solo begins, it makes since with Luke last line in Shadows main story section - "We get Han."

 As  the Junior Novelization and short story Therefore I am: The Tale Of IG-88 are more a retelling of the story they are not included in the index, but all material from here through The Battle of The Bounty Hunters Pop-up book  cross over with the Shadows of The Empire story.

NOTE: In  Marvel issue 72, IG-88 returns this possible because, as is revealed in the Shadows Of The Empire game, IG-88B survived his encounter with Boba Fett and went to Ord Mantell to repair himself after which it appears to have ailed itself with Bossk. The reason his presence was not discovered by the other IG-88s before transferring to the Death Star was that the link was damage in the encounter with Boba-Fett.
