How old is the SuperShadow.com web site?

The debut of SuperShadow.com (SS.com) on the Internet was July 1994. We were basically the only Star Wars web site around during antiquity. You need to remember there wasn't a real need for a Star Wars web page updated daily because not much involving Star Wars was really happening over 15 (fifteen) years ago. The massive popularity of Star Wars imploded into nothingness by the end of the 1980's.

This may seem difficult to believe, but you couldn't find Star Wars action figures or any kind of Star Wars collectibles in major retail stores in the early 1990's. It was a very, very extremely tough time for Lucasfilm financially. 99.99 percent of Lucasfilm monetary revenues are derived mostly from Star Wars and somewhat less from Indiana Jones.

A sorta semi interest in Star Wars returned somewhat fractionally with the publishing in June 1991 of the Star Wars book novel called Heir to the Empire written by author Timothy Zahn and the first novel book in the three part Thrawn Trilogy. However, if you wanted Star Wars stories outside of Lucas Books, you were in deep trouble.

After the theatrical cinematic run of Star Wars Episode 6 Return of the Jedi in multiplexes cineplexes, Lucas promised himself there would NEVER be another Star Wars movie episode until special effects technology could capture his full artistic vision without restrictions.

As a result, Lucas absolutely would NOT consider beginning work on Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace. Granted I know Lucas better than anybody, I understand how stubborn he is. Almost ten years elapsed after May 1983 and still no Star Wars prequel trilogy. Lucas was literally going to wait until he could make the exact Star Wars films Lucas sees in his unlimited brilliant mind.

Finally, when Lucas saw the computer animated dinosaurs for Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park movie, Lucas was finally convinced advanced digital computer technology could unlock the unbelievably massive ultra genius of the Star Wars prequels. At long last, Jar Jar Binks would become a reality. This may be the longest anecdotal story ever about Star Wars, but it's important.

In early 1995 less than one year since SS.com began, Lucas began writing the script screenplay for The Phantom Menace. We immediately began giving Lucas many, many hundreds of ideas from the loyal SS readers. You need to remember the SS audience in 1995 was an insignificant fraction of the daily visitors we would be receiving by early 1999.

The first Star Wars fans to find SS.com in 1995 were the only individuals on the planet, who realized the legendary and hallowed Star Wars plot script formula existed. Everyone was stunned to learn each film episode of the Star Wars classic trilogy were absolutely the same with no differences. Not a single fan (not even one) figured this out until AFTER they read the mind bending Star Wars story formula revelation on SS.com.

Lucas immediately began taking ideas from the SS fans on how to make each plot element original for The Phantom Menace. A good number of the better plot element devices seen in The Phantom Menace originated directly from SS.com. We knew the secret of the Star Wars plot formula while the entire world remained clueless. Secret, secret. We've got a secret.

Over 250 million people watched The Phantom Menace in theaters cinemas in the year 1999. None of them realized The Phantom Menace was the same movie as the original Star Wars films. As more and more innumerable Star Wars fans found SS.com, we became a global sensation and have earned our unquestioned status as the greatest Star Wars web site in the Universe of all time ever in history.
