Oh, I haven't forgotten it. Though, I never played the game (I was a Sophomore in college, when it all came out), I knew of the game, the novel, and, on the peripheral, the comic adaptation. It wasn't until years later, I found out how cool and important it was to The SWU. What I can't, for the life of me, figure out, is WHY Disney/Lucasfilm Ltd. decided to forget about it...esp. since George Lucas completely gave it his sign of approval as being part of official SW canon...in fact, he was so enamored with its creation, he regretted that the multimedia campaign hadn't been conceived 10 years earlier; since, if it had, he would have absolutely made it in to a major motion picture, rehiring Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Billy Dee Williams to reprise their respective roles. Ironically, The High Republic is NOT the first multimedia initiative created by Lucasfilm Ltd.; though it's way more of an advanced, complex, varied undertaking, very much overshadowing the uniqueness of SOTE. I find it painful that The Outrider was decanonized, only to be brought back in SW: Rebels, but under a different ownership. Of course, the deletion of Dash Rendar is the ultimate SIN. My hope is that, within The Mandoverse, Favreau, Filoni, and their collective of creatives, create an opportunity for that quality story to be brought back in to canon. I want, 7 years after ROTJ, Prince Xizor's Niece, Savan (now running Black Sun) to be one of the crime syndicate threats in The Outer Rim, with her vowing revenge on Skywalker and his friends. Supposedly, Dash Rendar was "re-canonized" in Solo: A Star Wars Story, being mentioned; but, so far, the reprinting of the SOTE novel has not taken place...which is also very quizzical. My big wish for his live-action debut appearance, is for him to be portrayed by Mr. Alan Ritchson (Reacher, Aquaman). He'd be PERFECT (and a natural redhead/ginger of sorts). Of course, I want Guri to be part of the Mando fun, too; along w/ Dash's cyborg/replicant Brother, Stanton. I'm actually hoping that, somewhere within Season 3 of The Bad Batch, Filoni and his team can plant some SOTE seeds there, bringing up The Rendar Family and their connection with Palpatine, and its future disastrous consequences, after Xizor sets things in evil motion; so, decades later, it can be picked up in the live-action branch of The Mando Saga. Here's to hoping. Good distillation of the material, Man. May The Force Be With You...
I love star wars but never got the game back in the 90s because I always thought it was a shitty cash grab. Boy does it seem I was wrong :( I'll have to find my old n64 and get to ebay for an old cartridge now!
So awesome! An amazing project you got going on! Thank you for sharing your passion for this underrated chapter in SW history
Appreciate it man 🙏
Never knew the was a book and a comic.
Not many people know! Its awesome and from different perspectives!

I wish Dash would come back so bad!!!!! Im with you all the way! Always appreciate your comments and kind words man! #BringBackDash
Great video by the way. A bit short maybe, flesh it out! Give us the juice!
Definitely will! Going to be a 3 or 4 part series! Thanks for watching!
Shadows of the Empire is the equivalent of Majoras Mask for Legend of Zelda.
Two of my favorite franchises ever right there! Can’t go wrong with zelda!

Luckily that game is pretty cheap! Its also on pc now on steam for about 10-15$ i believe! And it will run on any computer since its an older game!
