www.mikesamazingworld.com/main/features/series.php?seriesid=8418I know I read Shadows of the Empire at the time, and the Minicomics which were packed with Kenner's SOTE 2 packs: Boba Fett vs. IG-88 and Prince Xizor vs. Darth Vader
www.rebelscum.com/SOTEmultipacks.aspSOTE remains something of a sore spot for me on multiple levels. I never quite felt I was getting the full story from either of the versions of the media I read - I had the comic series and the book - and the single figures for the line were made of unobtanium her in the UK. The two packs you could get, and I did from the Woking TRU as soon as I saw them, but from what I recall the Minicomics are cutdown versions of battles in the main book. It'll be interesting to see if the reality supports my recollection!
Star Wars Rebellion covers the period in which the original movies are set, between 1977's Star Wars and 1983's Return of the Jedi.

This is a period of Dark Horse's output I've struggled to get into because it's the period I read in the original Marvel Star Wars and, to me, that's what happened between the films.
