[edit]Expanded Universe Novels
The first Expanded Universe novel was written by Alan Dean Foster titled the Splinter of the Mind's Eye in 1978.[1]The setting for this novel takes place between Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.[2] It provides further adventures that include Princess Leia, R2-D2, C-3P0, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.[3]In the story, Darth Vader tries to get the Kaiburr Cyrstal to use it for his evil schemes.[4]
Other novels that depicted Sith characters were Darth Maul:Saboteur and Cloak of Deception by James Luceno.[5] In Cloak of Deception, it describes the political background surrounding the Republic in the time period before Phantom Menance. The Sith Lord at the time, Darth Sidious, plans for his blockade of Naboo. In Darth Maul: Saboteur,the Sith Lord Darth Sidious sends Darth Maul to destroy InterGalactic Ore and Lommite Limited.[6]Darth Maul:Shadow Hunter by Michael Reaves also showed insight into the Sith. This story is about how Darth Sidious takes his plan into action, however he soon finds out about a traitor who knows of his plan. He sends his apprentice, Darth Maul, to scope out the traitor that leaks the secret of his plan to take down the Rebulic.[7] Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back by Donald F. Glut takes place after the destruction of the Death Star. Darth Vader is in pursuit of Luke Skywalker, who is training with Yoda to become a Jedi Knight. This story depicts the fight scene between Vader and Skywalker almost exactly as it was scripted in the film.
Star Wars Comics
Dark Horse Comics purchased the copyrights to several Star Wars stories.[8] With their publication of Star Wars: Dark Empire #1 in 1991, they initiated what has become a large line of Star Wars manga and comics.[9] The Sith appear as major antagonists throughout this story's plot. [10]
In January 2007, Dark Horse Comics released their first of what became 5 waves of comic-pack figures.[11] Some of the Sith action figure characters that these comic packs included were Darth Vader, Clone Commando and a Trade Federation Assassin Droid. Most of the comics that were published had to do with expanding the backstory of the characters and followed the rise of the Lords of Sith.[12]
Star Wars T.V. Shows
Star Wars has had 3 T.V. shows titled Star Wars: Droids—The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO, Star Wars:Ewoks and Star Wars:Clone Wars. Star Wars: Droids—The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO aired their first episode in 1985. The show focused on the past history of R2-D2 and C-3PO and continueing with their future adventures throughout the galaxy.[13] Star Wars: Ewoks is an animated shows about the Ewoks and was aired in 1986. Star Wars: Clone Wars first aired on Cartoon Network in 2008. This show was made to take place some time between the Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith films. During this time, Anakin Skywalker has not become Darth Vader yet and it shows how he progresses into succumbing to the Sith.[14] There is also another (currently untitled) T.V. show who's release date will be soon[15]according to the head of Lucas Licensing, Howard Roffman.[16] Each of these T.V. series has expanded on the background story of mayor and minor characters that were introduced in the original film’s plot written by George Lucas.
Star Wars Video Games
Star Wars video games have also been adapted from the films, novels, and T.V. shows plots. The games follow the basic plot of the story, but they can also include alternative endings depending on which character is being played. Most of the games range from one to two players at a time. The earliest video game for Star Wars dates back to 1982 when Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back was released for the public in the arcades.[17] Other video games that focus mainly on the Sith are Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords released in 2004[18] and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed released in 2008.[19] In Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, the player can choose if they want to be a Sith, Jedi or another character. The outcome of whether the character follows the dark or light side depends on what character the player chooses and with whom they end up meeting or battling with throughout the game.[20] In and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, the player acts as Darth Vader’s secret apprentice. Along the way, the adventures consist of several battles against the mayor and minor Jedi fighters throughout the galaxy and helping Vader achieve his master plan.[21]
