Ep. 95: Greg Hildebrandt - 25 years of Shadows of the Empire with Tatooine Times’ Fabio Fiori

Fabio Fiori from Tatooine Times and I do a joint interview with renowned artist Greg Hildebrandt on the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of the Shadows of the Empire, the ‘movie without a movie,’ launched by Lucasfilm in the spring of 1996. There was a novel by Steve Perry for Del Rey, a comic adaptation by Dark Horse, a video game for the Nintendo 64, a toy line by Kenner, a Soundtrack and of course, a Topps Card set. Greg, and his brother Tim, were tapped to produce 100 paintings for their portion of the event for Topps. The set would debut in September of that year and their turnaround time for completion of the work was only 4 and a half months. But short deadlines were nothing new to the brothers and they turned out an amazing set of paintings used for the card set. In addition to portions of this interview, Fabio will have a number of special articles and interviews covering the full spectrum of the 25th Anniversary of Shadows of the Empire that will appear on Tatooine Times starting the week of May 10th.
