Episode 6 : Echoes from the Past 12/20/2009
THIS IS IT! The last and climactic episode of Star
Wars : In the Shadows is available! This finale includes a 22
minutes bonus of bloopers and outtakes from the production. Enjoy.
After meeting Xizor aboard his skyhook the Falleen Fist, our heroes made a deal with the prince; The Jedi in exchange for their freedom. Unfortunately for Xizor, he underestimated the young crew and fell for their well-crafted ploy. Aboard the Providence, Emma and her friends have reached the Tapani Sector, where they finally pinpoint the location of the secret Imperial base and request the help of the Rebel Alliance. Yet they are unaware that Guri has followed them and that Darth Vader is not far behind.
I would like to thank all the volunteer cast members
for their talent and time, all the partners for their help in
promoting the drama and anyone who help promote SWITS by word to mouth
and via social networks. This audio drama was my first adventure in
storytelling and without your support it would not have been possible.
I hope you enjoyed the story and the production. If you did, send me
feedback and continue to spread the good word.

production update - 08/14/2009
After three grueling months, the primary mixing for SWITS is finally complete. The production has now moved to music supervision and the creation of episode previews and the official trailer. The audio drama has a running time of approximately 3 hours and 10 minutes without the credits, previews and promos. It will be released in six episodes over an
predetermined period of time. The release schedule isn’t determined yet, since a lot of work still needs to be done, but you can expect a 2009 release instead of 2010 as indicated on the teaser poster.
We will continue to update our twitter feed with small production updates and the SWITS facts, so make sure you follow us and don’t miss any “surprises” that might pop-up exclusively for the followers.
Thanks for all the support and positive comments you sent our way.
