Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is a science fiction novel that takes place in the Star Wars Legends universe. The story is set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. It was written by Steve Perry and published by Bantam Books. It introduces Prince Xizor, the alien overlord of the largest criminal organization in the galaxy. His goal is to take Darth Vader's place at Palpatine's side. The novel also resumes the storylines of the usual characters.

It shows Princess Leia's secret search for Boba Fett, the construction of Luke Skywalker's new lightsaber and Darth Vader's search for his son. It introduces a new character to the saga, Dash Rendar, a Han Solo-type smuggler, who acts primarily as a replacement for Han Solo and as a part of the action sequences. More: en.wikipedia.org.
