A few portugese Star Wars fans filmed the entire story of Shadows of the Empire using action figures. While this often doesn't amount to much, these guys created something pretty great. It is in Portugese of course, but there are english subtitles (done by the creators, so you have to forgive the improper translation at times).

This project took them six years to finish and they still have plans on tweaking it and possibly coming out with an english version eventually. It is the first time someone has tried taking this story on and has been able to show something for it.

The direct download link is below. Let me warn you that the download is 420 MB, so if you are on dial-up then you might want to give this a pass for now or get a download manager like Getright.
