Shadows of the Empire, low-res pixel style!

This cross-media initiative was one of the more high-profile Star Wars spinoffs. Set between Empire and Jedi, it tells a new story with all your favourite character plus some brand new ones. Here are the new characters introduced in the novel/comic/game/action figures/trading cards experience that is Shadows of the Empire.

Xizor, the reptilian head of criminal syndicate Black Sun. Guri, his gynoid aide (based on her comic outfit as opposed to the one in the card game art). Dash Rendar, the braggart merc with Rebel sympathies. Leebo, his wisecracking droid companion. Big Gizz and Spiker, leaders of Jabba’s gang of biker thugs. Jix, the bare-chested Imperial spy who infiltrates said thugs. Koth Melan, the Bothan spymaster.
