Review - Legacy vol 8: Tatooine

legacy-8-v2Tatooine is probably one of the most iconic locations in all of Star Wars. Just reading the name likely reminds people of the opening of A New Hope, with its two setting suns.

This Multimedia Event, designed as a one-stop bridge from the closing sequence of Empire Strikes Back to the opening scenes of Return of the Jedi, introduced us to a crime organization more extensive and more glamorous than Jabba’s, Black Sun, and its memorable leader Prince Xizor in Steve Perry’s novel. Yet all in all it has fallen out of Star Wars discussion. Does Shadows deserve this fate?
