#302. Shadows of the Empire & the Star Wars Expanded Universe

<p>Craig and Ryan welcome Drew and Lauren McCaffrey, who have come to discuss Shadows of the Empire, the Star Wars movie that never was. There's a lot to discuss, between the book and its accompanying video game and the rest of the marketing push to make Shadows a huge thing back in 1996. There's enough ground to cover, in fact, that we made this episode a two-parter, and you can hear the other part on Drew's podcast, <a href='https://www.iolpodcast.com/'>Inking Out Loud</a>. Head over there to hear the companion episode, and to get the other half of the hashtag you'll need to enter the giveaway drawing.
