SuperShadow

"SuperShadow&mdash;Threads dedicated to this big fraud are out of the question. In fact, any reference to him and/or his site will result in severe modsmacking."

- "Lad," Message Board monitor at StarWars.com. 



Mickey Suttle is a controversial and infamous Star Wars fan who posts Star Wars news, images and FAQs on his website,  almost every day. He uses the self-appointed nickname of SuperShadow. Many of his claims, most notably that he is friends with George Lucas and possesses advanced copies of screenplays, have made him a controversial figure among Internet Star Wars fans. However fake his website may be, many still feel that he has made a monumental effort in inventing all of the information that his website gives out. The only biographical details on his website are as follows: "'As you would expect, all information regarding SuperShadow is above top secret (classified at the highest level). Currently, nothing is known about SuperShadow except that SS is very close, personal friends with George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars.'" Using the "Whois" function of, it was discovered that   is owned by Mickey Suttle, of Hickory, North Carolina. He also owns: -, -   (not sirSTEVESguide) , -,   -  ,   -   and -,   - all of which redirect to  , and.

In addition,  is also owned by Mickey Suttle. While not having any links to supershadow.com or mentioning the name "SuperShadow", the "SS" logo with the Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire logos on it has the filename "super_shadow.jpg". The page also shows a fake image of Suttle.

SuperShadow.com
Mickey Suttle's website first appeared during the production of Star Wars Episode I. He released 'exclusive' information and claimed to be an Industrial Light and Magic employee and friend of George Lucas. One day later, the following disclaimer appeared: "This web site has no association with Lucasfilm. SuperShadow.com is a fan operated web site that makes no claims as to the copyrights held by Lucasfilm regarding Star Wars. Star Wars, its characters and all related items are copyright Lucasfilm." It is reasonable to assume an actual Lucasfilm employee was made aware of the site and threatened Suttle with legal action. To this day Suttle still says he is friends with George Lucas, but he no longer claims to be employed by him or have any "official" connection to Star Wars.

He continued posting "news" which turned out to be fake with the exception of stories that appeared on other websites earlier in the day. He attracted controversy again when he claimed to be in possession of the script for Star Wars Episode II&mdash;quite a feat considering George Lucas had not finished writing it at the time. SuperShadow's source was "Brad Bender, head of Lucasfilm Internet Relations". There has never been a Brad Bender employed by Lucasfilm, but this was all made elementary when Episode II turned out to be nothing like SuperShadow's version of the story. His excuse was that the script he'd received was a "Rough Draft". SuperShadow claimed to have read the script for Episode III, but could not post any information about it due to copyright law. After enough spoiler information had been released about Episode III to cobble together some kind of basic plot, he posted what he claimed to be the script&mdash;it contains only a brief rundown of each scene and no dialogue. He also claims that Lucasfilm released the title "Revenge of the Sith" earlier than expected (July instead of November) because one of his readers had successfully guessed it.

SuperShadow's Q&A
SuperShadow has attracted a legion of fans who send him their questions, which he answers on his website every day or so. These questions pertain to Star Wars history, trivia, and the upcoming movies. These appear on the index page of his site, with the answers in bold text following the questions. Example: "O.K., SS, you promised a long, long time ago and now you must tell us the real Episode III title. Finally someone guessed so speak! Great site and congratulations from Canary Islands, Spain. (SuperShadow: Wish I could, but I just promised Lucas a few days ago that I would not reveal the actual title for Episode 3. The Episode 3 title will be announced on www.starwars.com in November-December 2004.)" Suttle often contradicts himself. For example: "Hello Almighty SS, still scoring? (SuperShadow: Scoring 24/7!) Can you tell us who trained Palpatine? (SuperShadow: Darth Imperius was the master of Darth Sidious/Palpatine) Thankyou Master Shadow, this site is DA BOMB! (SuperShadow: Everyone says so.)" Then SuperShadow posted some "spoilers" for Episode III which includes this apparent quote from the movie: "Darth Plagueis was my master. He taught me the key to his power," Palpatine said. Suddenly, Palpatine's voice turned cold, and old: "...before I killed him."

This was only half correct because in the final version of Episode III, Palpatine did not explicitly state he killed his master, but that he referred to himself in the third person without revealing who he was. The quote is actually from the novelization of Revenge of the Sith, and was originally posted on millenniumfalcon.com. Regardless, the master was Plagueis, not Imperius.

Another Example of this is in the interview with Samuel L. Jackson he says: "I never dreamed I get to play a Jedi especially the second most powerful one after Yoda." But on the "Most Powerful Jedi Knights" page, however, Mace Windu is listed as 6th and Yoda as second. A lot of the Jedi on that page are Masters as well, not just Knights. On March 28, 2005, it appeared that his website was suspended, although it stated "for billing purposes". However, he soon returned.

SuperShadow also declares that DVDs produced by him are distributed by Wal-Mart and Best Buy. No such DVDs have ever been seen.

Finally, on his Q&A, SuperShadow usually tells fans that their ideas are "gold, excellent" and they will be forwarded to Lucas. It doesn't make sense, that George Lucas has so much time to hear so many ideas from fans, since Star Wars is only one of his projects. The way that SS portrays Lucas, it suggests he spends most, if not all of his free time to Star Wars.

Star Wars sequel trilogies
SuperShadow claims to possess the scripts, or at least the outlines, for Episodes VII, VIII and IX of Star Wars. These involve an army of Dark Jedi on rocketpacks, a superweapon which creates black holes, and characters fighting clones of each other. An excerpt from Star Wars Episode IX: Victory of the Force reads as follows: "Ben and Anakin battle Horgon while the real Luke battles the Luke clone and Mara Jade battles the Vader clone. Horgon strikes down Anakin. Ben screams in anger and then lunges at Horgon with all his might. The real Luke cuts the clone Luke in half. The real Luke then turns to fight Horgon in order to prevent Horgon from killing Ben. The Vader clone battles Mara Jade. They exchange many, many blows." SuperShadow also claims that the Sequel Trilogy will not be made by Lucasfilm, but by SuperShadow himself, and the fans that support his website. He has specified that the shooting will begin in 2014, and he receives and posts many comments about it. (Recently, however, it was said in the "Lucas" Q&A that SuperShadow chose not to direct the sequels, delegating Episodes 7-9 to Ridley Scott, Peter Jackson and James Cameron respectively.) His episodes 7-9 are titled "The Fallen Hero", SuperShadow's "The Republic in Crisis" and "Victory of the Force”. SuperShadow claims these scripts have been written by George Lucas, even though the creator of Star Wars has said many times that Episode 3 "Revenge of the Sith" will be the final Star Wars film.



Recently, SuperShadow and "GL" have announced another Sequel Trilogy to be made after George Lucas's untimely demise. One of the few known facts is that R2-D2 and C-3PO won't be appearing in the trilogy.

The main enemy of "10-12" is supposed to be the ultimate evil, The Raverons. This is probably the SuperShadow version of the New Jedi Order Series, and the Raverons are probably his version of the Yuuzhan Vong. SuperShadow also claims the sequels will feature a battle between an aged Mace Windu and Boba Fett, where Fett "finally gets his revenge" against Windu for the death of his father. This however would be difficult as Windu was killed by then-Supreme Chancellor Palpatine in 19 BBY.

The two Star Wars TV Series
In response to a question posted on October 2, 2005 by a fan about the two Star Wars TV series: the animated Star Wars: Clone Wars and the live-action series, SuperShadow responded that "I have been given full control over the Star Wars TV shows. Expect greatness."

Most powerful Jedi Knights and Sith Lords
There is a ranking system on the website that contains characters from the Star Wars movies, the Expanded Universe, and others which appear nowhere except SuperShadow.com. Suttle claims that these characters correspond with George Lucas's "vision" of Star Wars, even though most do not have published stories or profiles on StarWars.com.

History of the Jedi and Sith
An exhaustive history of the Jedi Knights and their enemies, the Sith. Very little of it has canon to back it up.

Midi-chlorian list
SuperShadow claims to have invented the concept of midi-chlorians, and has compiled a list of each character and their midi-chlorian count. Most of these characters are not recognized by Lucasfilm and only appear on SuperShadow.com. He has said General Grievous, a non-Force user, has many midi-chlorians. He also once claimed Wicket, an Ewok, has -1 midi-chlorian count. This is impossible because Qui-Gon Jinn once said that without midi-chlorians, life could not exist.

History of Star Wars
A timeline of the Star Wars phenomenon, starting in 1973 with the release of George Lucas's second film, American Graffiti. For an unexplained reason, "Star Wars" is always highlighted in blue and "History" in yellow, making it look like SuperShadow typed "Star Wars + History" into a search engine and copied the result. Because the effect of this is that it looks particularly sloppy some people believe that SuperShadow is a parody of obsessed fans, and the site is then deliberately awful.

SuperShadow's Galactic Map
While he does not claim to own this image of the Star Wars galaxy, SuperShadow was very careful to blackout the accreditations of the image's creator: E.S.P of Nav-Computer.com.

SuperShadow's Episode 3 cameo
In the midi-chlorian list, SuperShadow claims to have a cameo in Episode 3 starring as a Jedi Knight named "Nebar Foxis". In the "Brief History of the Jedi and Sith", a historical account posted on his site, "Nebar Foxis" is described as "the best looking male Jedi of his time". He claims he is the Jedi with long hair fighting Anakin Skywalker in the security hologram, but this is really Nick Gillard playing Cin Drallig. This claim was specifically debunked in Star Wars Insider 86, in which Pablo Hidalgo states that "Nebar Foxis doesn't exist&mdash;it's another fan-created story that's spread across the internet, but there is no such character in Star Wars."

Star Wars fan fiction
SuperShadow's readers send in their own stories, which he posts. The section is mostly concerned with Episode 3 fanscripts.

SuperShadow's filmography
This page claims that "SuperShadow is one of the world's premier documentary film makers, although none of his films have been found by SS, or Anti-SS, Fans. SuperShadow specializes in films about the paranormal, cryptozoology and extraterrestrials", and lists about two dozen documentaries, none of which exist outside of supershadow.com.

SuperShadow's girlfriend
SuperShadow has posted numerous glamour photos of women he claims are his girlfriend(s). As of January 2006, the images are taken from the public section of Bullz-Eye.com, a subscription-based bikini model website, of a woman named Lauren. The images have been noticeably edited to smudge out the copyright owner information and date.

As of April 2006, he removed the picture gallery of Lauren and replaced it with the previous lingerie model picture as well as a link to a page of "SuperShadow's Girlfriends wearing the Princess Leia bikini from Return of the Jedi"  which appears to be a gallery of random female fans wearing home-made "slave Leia" outfits at fan conventions or Star Wars themed parties. The first photo shows a male Star Wars fan standing next to the woman in a slave Leia costume, and his face is photoshopped out, presumably to imply that this is SuperShadow in the picture. It is however Jonathan L. Bowen, a fan who attended Star Wars Celebration 3.

As usual these new pictures are stolen directly from other sites, for example Kerri Valkova's costume page. Other images were plundered from a site devoted to Leia's Metal Bikini.

Another of the pictures, is of a woman wearing a Leia outfit at a Star Wars themed party or convention with a "painted on" top and bottom (only the "loin cloth" and boots are real), taken from another website. 

In late June, 2006, he removed all the pictures without explanation and the page simply reads "Supershadow's Girlfriend." Many speculate that he is having legal troubles with one of these women.

As of September, 2006, the lingerie model magazine scan has reappeared again, with the usual text. Her true identity is still unknown.

SuperShadow's claims
"The EU is completely false and does not correspond with GL's (George Lucas) vision."

- Mickey Suttle

Below is a list of things that are some SuperShadow only creations, and cannot be substantiated anywhere other than SuperShadow and those who believe him. Some SuperShadow inventions have corrections after them.

Creations

 * Darth Seer, who reorganized the Sith Order and trained Darth Mongerer.
 * Darth Mirage, Darth Sinistar, Darth Horrar, Darth Thrax, Darth Slane, Darth Vak, Darth Vicrone, and Darth Secretus.
 * Three different force using orders. One, the Sutrans, a group of light side users who do not follow the way of the Jedi. This order supposedly contained many members of ET's species. Two, the Vortari, named after their founder Lady Vortari. Three, the Biotans
 * Kaja Sinis, the first Jedi and a Civian, his first apprentice being Shintor Beerus, a Twi'lek.
 * Zuti Darklighter, the first Dark Jedi. In canon, the first Dark Jedi was Xendor who was also the leader of the Legions of Lettow.
 * Darth Tantalon, the most Force-powerful Sith and Darth Cladar, the most physically powerful.
 * The Penari lightsaber, a Jedi scientist created yellow lightsaber capable of cutting through other lightsabers. The weapon was supposedly considered too dangerous by the Jedi Council, and destroyed. The picture of the weapon is actually a beam sword from Super Smash Bros, made obvious by the token floating underneath it. The saber is supposedly powered exclusively by illegal yellow saber crystals, which are only used in the Penari lightsaber.
 * Darth Scarz, the first Sith. (The name Darth is generally thought to originate with either Darth Revan, or Darth Andeddu) The first Dark lord of the Sith was either Ajunta Pall or the Red-Armored Dark Lord.
 * Xio Jade, the supposed aunt of Mara Jade, and the most powerful female Sith in history. Xio Jade might have been made up by SuperShadow or could be supershadow's version of Lady Lumiya.
 * Many other Jedi, Dark Jedi, and Sith Lords.
 * The existence of the Force powers Force grab, Force fireball, Force tornado, Force earthquake, Force avalanche, and Force vanish. The Force Vanish appeared in the Super Return of the Jedi video games when playing as Luke Skywalker, so that is not a SuperShadow creation.
 * That Mace Windu comes from a planet named Erberius (He is from Haruun Kal).
 * That Lando Calrissian comes from a planet named Zaskus. (He is from Socorro).
 * The planet of Pilegias, claiming that Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi was born there. He also claims that Kenobi was found by the Jedi Order on the planet Kelchase, another creation of his.
 * The planet and system of Valorius, the supposed origin point of the Dark Side, which is destroyed in SuperShadow's sequel trilogy.
 * The planet of Thessius, claimed to be the watery island world Shmi Skywalker moved to, before she was sold to slavery, but not before giving birth to Anakin Skywalker. Their homeworld is unknown before Tatooine.
 * The first Sith monarch, Darth Ghore. The first Sith Lord is really unknown.
 * The so-called "dumbest Sith", Darth Kanamite.
 * The Black Hole Devastator, a superweapon capable of destroying an entire star system by creating an artificial black hole.
 * That the youngest Jedi to be appointed to the Jedi Council before Anakin Skywalker was not Mace Windu, but a 27-year-old Jedi named Gnaren Viskus, who joined the Council for his ability to foresee the Yakter rebellion (also SuperShadow's invention).
 * That Jango Fett was born on Zogeis (He was born on Concord Dawn).
 * Norius Havok, the most powerful Dark Jedi in history.
 * The Light Lance, The Light Mace, The Light Staff (not to be confused with Double-bladed lightsaber), The Light Boomerang and The Light Scissors.

Name changes

 * That Yoda is a Whill (no relation to Journal of the Whills) from a planet named Grentarik, and that his last name is Dkana. SuperShadow also claims that his father's name was Syville Dmetris Dkana, and that his trainer was Bontu Sitmus, also a Whill. According to Star Wars Galaxy 9, Yoda's master's name is N'Kata Del Gormo and he was a Hysalrian. George Lucas has stated that Yoda is not a Whill, and it is not known what Yoda's species is. However Yoda's species is currently known as the unknown tridactyl species.
 * That Anakin Skywalker's middle name is Cleevon.
 * That Ben Skywalker's middle name is Jhon.
 * That the name of the Star Wars Galaxy is Vordarian Beltway Galaxy, and that it is 850 trillion light-years away from the Milky Way galaxy, though the Universe is found to only be 78 billion light-years in diameter. The only official description given about the Star Wars galaxy in relation to the Milky Way is that it is a galaxy far, far away.
 * That Dantius is the first name of Palpatine and Jard is the first name of Count Dooku. These claims were specifically debunked in Star Wars Insider 86, in which Pablo Hidalgo explicitly states that Palpatine and Dooku have no first names and likely never will.
 * That General Grievous' last name is Shakar, and that he is of a species named Omix Patra (General Grievous is of the Kaleesh species; the first names of Palpatine and Dooku are not revealed in the canon, and Grievous' real name is Qymaen jai Sheelal). He later reviewed and changed the race of Grievous, probably after being warned by a fan.
 * That Darth Maul's real name is Khameir Sarin. Darth Maul's real name is unknown and although other sources agree with Supershadow, it's probably untrue.
 * That Darth Bane's real name is Naxion Mardris. Darth Bane's real name is Dessel. His whole name is unknown.
 * The Dark Woman's real name is Ishto Papar and she was trained as a Sith by Darth Bane and rejected him and escaped and gained immortality. The Dark Woman's real name is An'ya Kuro. The Dark Woman lived to be 99 years old.
 * That the young Padawan whom Bail Organa sees being shot by clone troopers in Revenge of the Sith is called Iceron Morvian. (His name is Zett Jukassa.)

Plot changes

 * That the Galactic Republic is at least 75,000 years old, and its first Supreme Chancellor was named Merk Quanto. The majority of canon sources state the Republic is just around 25,000 years old, and its current incarnation has stood for 1000 years. The first Republic Chancellor is unknown.
 * That Darth Sidious had another apprentice before and after Darth Maul, Darth Venom, who trained Darth Orcron and broke the rule of two, and Darth Rage, a Toban from Yetis, who was killed by Plo Koon using the Force Avalanche technique, another SuperShadow creation
 * The Rodar Wizards of Perdonis, who supposedly created the kyber/kaiburr crystal (which is not a SuperShadow creation, it appears in the first EU novel Splinter of the Mind's Eye. It was also a sort of Holy Grail in the original script for Star Wars: A New Hope) over 100,000 years BBY, and, in his words 'made Emperor Palpatine look like a nun'. SuperShadow also claims that Darth Sidious uses such a crystal to amplify his power. If one looks carefully at pictures of Darth Sidious or action figures he doesn't have anything around his neck. Described as being so powerful that any Jedi or Sith that went up against them "would be slaughtered".
 * That lightsabers were invented around the founding of the Jedi Order. (Whereas during the Great Schism they didn't seem to have been developed, until the primitive ones of the Great Hyperspace War).
 * That Darth Plagueis was trained by Darth Imperius, trained by Darth Baltimort, trained by Darth Frordon. It is unknown of those as the Sith Masters.
 * That Anakin Skywalker had no contact with Count Dooku before meeting him in the Invisible Hand. This gives the impression that SuperShadow considers himself above the movies, the highest canon.
 * That Mara Jade married Luke Skywalker five years ABY, despite contradictions in various EU books which state that they did not even meet until 9 ABY. In his defense, SuperShadow has said that "the EU is fake", but he himself uses many EU ideas and characters in his rough drafts and sequel trilogy plot summaries.
 * That Mace Windu has been hiding on Coruscant ever since Episode III (he "lands on refuse that safely breaks his fall") and will feature heavily in his proposed sequel trilogy. Since SuperShadow also claims that Kyle Katarn will be around 65 years old by Episode VII, Windu, even if he did survive Episode III, would die of old age before Episode VII. (To explain this, SuperShadow claims that Humans can live up to 300 years through bio-engineering.)
 * That Count Dooku never killed a Jedi, although it is widely known that Dooku killed his old friend and Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas in order to prove to Sidious his Sith potential, for one.
 * That Yarael Poof was trained by Zinkor Dawn not Yaddle, and that Even Piell was trained by Haccor Topkin.
 * That Mace Windu was trained by Cloto Nervon on Ophuchi
 * That Anakin Solo was trained by Apriles Mondifer, and that Ben Skywalker was trained by Hirin Voltkack. Ben Skywalker was trained by Jacen Solo and than Anakin Solo was trained by the Skywalker twins.
 * That Grievous was almost defeated by three Jedi prior to his duel with Obi-Wan, one of which was Nebar Foxis, the Jedi for who he claims to have a cameo role in Revenge of the Sith.
 * That Luke Skywalker will destroy the dark side of the Force eventually. which is essentially impossible.
 * That by the end of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi was by far the most powerful Force-user in the galaxy, ranking above both Darth Sidious and Yoda.
 * That Darth Bane is  "alive and kicking"  during his proposed third trilogy. Darth Bane died either of old age or someone killed him before Yoda was born.
 * The remains of the Separatists were taken back to Coruscant by Darth Sidious and his clone troopers when they came to Mustafar to save Darth Vader.
 * After his duel with Sidious Mace Windu's lightsaber was found and sold at an auction a few months later.
 * Aurra Sing was killed by Nto Boraj during the Galactic Civil War. Aurra Sing is alive in Star Wars: Demolition and possibly works for Jabba the Hutt in the days of the Galactic Empire.
 * That the Sith are extinct for the rest of eternity after Anakin Skywalker killed Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine aboard the Second Death Star.
 * That Sifo-Dyas was one of the three Jedi Palpatine considered for an apprentice after the death of Darth Maul, along with Jard Dooku and a cyborg named Detori who was renamed Darth Rage. When Sifo refused to join him, Palpatine killed him with a Force Fireball and Earthquake. Darth Sidious in the canon had Count Dooku kill Sifo-Dyas to join as the replacement for Darth Maul.
 * That Cin Drallig never existed, and was a fake character. Cin Drallig was the Jedi Master that Obi-Wan Kenobi saw Anakin Skywalker kill in security recording at the Jedi Temple in Episode III. He also claims that his character of Nebar Foxis was the Jedi seen killed. *That Chancellor Valorum was executed by the Empire as a traitor to Palpatine when he is clearly shown being murdered in Clone Wars Volume 5 of Dark Horse's Star Wars: Republic series. *That Nebar Foxis has a higher midichlorian count than Darth Revan.

Other changes

 * That Zam Wesell is really a male and is in disguise as a female human It is said on many sources that Zam Wesell is a female clawdite.
 * That Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas is Ogdarian (in Star Wars Visionaries, he's human).
 * That Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator lacked a cloaking device, another sign of his defiance of canon material like the Visual Dictionaries.
 * That the planet Granicus was the homeworld of the Gran (they are from Kinyen).
 * That Darth Revan was killed by a force avalanche, and that his apprentice Malak lost his jaw in a fight with a Jedi master named Kylo Spartos
 * Darth Gilgon and his apprentice Darth Augor.
 * That Plo Koon was trained by Diris Flassis, rather than by Tyvokka.
 * That General Grievous has a Midichlorian count higher than an ordinary Jedi. The Episode III Visual Dictionary announced that General Grievous is not Force-sensitive.
 * That Exar Kun was not a very powerful Sith lord, ranking less than 15 on SuperShadow's 'Top 15 Most Powerful Sith Lords’. This is surprising, as he claims that the game KOTOR is canon, and in KOTOR Exar Kun is referred to by certain characters as one of the most powerful Sith Lord in history. Also SuperShadow says to us that George Lucas doesn't accept Exar Kun as a real Star Wars character.
 * That Jango Fett was not a Mandalorian warrior and simply found his armor in the trash. Jango Fett lived on Concord Dawn, where he was adopted into the Mandalorian clans by Jaster Mereel, and that is how he got his armor, eventually succedding Mereel was Mandalore.
 * That the Yuuzhan Vong are not canon and never invade the galaxy. The Yuuzhan Vong invasion was authorized by George Lucas as he authorized this novel series.
 * That Adi Gallia was killed by Clones, Pablo-Jill was killed by clones on Gedius (one of his creations) and Bultar Swan was killed by Super Battle Droids. George Lucas doesn't give the Expanded Universe authors free reign over the movie character's fates. Adi Gallia and Pablo-Jill were killed by General Grievous during the Clone Wars. Bultar Swan went up against Darth Vader one month after the events depicted in Revenge of the Sith and another Jedi, named Koffi Arana, killed her and then was was killed by Darth Vader.
 * Darth Revan has a lower midichlorian count than Darth Malak, even though Revan was the Sith master, and he later defeated Malak as a Jedi.
 * That Aurra Sing is a Herclu. Aurra Sing's species is unknown at this point.

Statements

 * It is thought that his script of Episode III has been plagiarized, as it is identical to various other scripts.
 * That the tradition of cremating dead Jedi originated by a Jedi being disintegrated by a bounty hunter.
 * That Lucas said the Expanded Universe is fake, although he ties in the EU in many of his false statements. The truth is the Expanded Universe relates to the movies by extending to the story lines of the movies. George Lucas authorized the EU and is iron handed when it comes to Star Wars. The EU and the movies have some contradictions to each other. George Lucas approves of the EU story lines that take place in between the movies and what covers before and after the movies. SuperShadow himself considers the EU fake and then he says that he considers all Expanded Universe material and fan fiction canonical.
 * That George Lucas gives only a few hundred dollars a year to charity, because he spends almost all of his money on fast cars and beautiful women. He blames poverty on lazy people who cannot be bothered to find jobs. He also dismisses all other religions than Christianity as "trash".
 * That the Clone Wars cartoon series doesn't represent George Lucas's vision of Star Wars and is just for fun. George Lucas either wrote the Clone Wars cartoon series or authorized it and someone else wrote it.
 * That in general, the Expanded Universe is just for fun or pretend. According to George Lucas and his vision of Star Wars the Expanded Universe does not exist.
 * That George Lucas says to ignore the EU because it's irrelevant. The EU covers some character fates and what happens in between the movies.
 * That most fans never follow the Expanded Universe and that George Lucas considers the Expanded Universe garbage.
 * That the Star Wars books and comics don't count as canon. The EU novels and comics by Dark Horse Comics are either secondary canon or continuity canon. Only the movies are George Lucas canon and novelizations along with comic book adaptations. George Lucas canonized the books and comics that are supposed to relate to the movies. The only comic books by Dark Horse Comics that don't count as canon and are non canon are Star Wars Infinities: A New Hope, Star Wars Infinities: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Infinities: Return of the Jedi. Also what are non canon are those in the Star Wars Tales that aren't movie related and anything that's Infinities related.
 * That time travel doesn't exist in the Star Wars Universe. Yet when replying to a question by a fan the day after regarding time travel he made no mention of this, and even encouraged the idea.
 * That General Grievous was inspired by Darth Rage for a mechanical force using villain since George Lucas didn't include Darth Rage in the movies who was said to be Darth Sidious's Sith apprentice after Darth Maul was killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi.
 * That Cin Drallig is not canon and that is the reason why he is not in the databank. Yet, he appears in Revenge of the Sith. Drallig is an imaginary character. Sprung out of juvenile fan rumors. Nebar Foxis is SuperShadow’s version of Cin Drallig. Then SuperShadow uses that character as a Jedi in the history of the Jedi and Sith section.
 * That most or many fans don't know that the New Jedi Order novel series exists. Many fans know of the New Jedi Order novel series and that Chewbacca died in Vector Prime.
 * That George Lucas asks fans to stop writing Star Wars fan fiction, when he in fact encourages it on sites such as www.fanfiction.net and George Lucas despises fan fiction on Star Wars. George Lucas is not concerned about fan fiction as long as it is not done for profit.
 * That George Lucas thinks that all Star Wars Expanded Universe material should be obliterated. George Lucas again has nothing against the Expanded Universe.
 * That a Sith Lord or Dark Jedi at death has her or his spirit obliterated from existence and there is no afterlife for a Sith Lord or Dark Jedi.This is not true as Ajunta Pall has a spirit in KOTOR.
 * That nobody buys the Expanded Universe books and that the vast majority of fans completely ignore the Expanded Universe of novels and comic books. Many Star Wars fans do read the EU novels and comic books, and play the video games.
 * That Quinlan Vos doesn't exist officially. SuperShadow then states that Quinlan Vos was killed by clones on Boz Pity. Quinlan Vos was in the draft of Revenge of the Sith with his scene not filmed and had a cameo in The Phantom Menace. Quinlan Vos was blown away by his clone troopers and thought to be dead. Obi-Wan Kenobi even tells Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith movie that Master Vos has moved his troops to Boz Pity.
 * That the galaxy map on his site, plagiarized from nav-computer.com, was created by Lucas himself and is regarded by Lucas as the best galaxy map ever made.
 * That he portrayed the character in Dex's Diner sitting behind Obi-Wan Kenobi in Attack of the Clones, when in fact that character was portrayed by Australian celebrity Dylan Lewis.
 * SuperShadow: "SS owns Lucas. Things couldn’t get any better yet they keep getting better."
 * SuperShadow claims that George Lucas hates the expanded universe, while he is shooting a television-program that takes plays between The Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope!
 * In 2004, SuperShadow claimed that he dated Keira Knightley, claiming that "she's a great kisser!" Although this statement is generally obscure and unrelated to Star Wars, aside from the fact that she played Sabé in Episode 1, it is generally accepted as more of Shadow's baseless claims.

SuperShadow's relationship with other websites
Supershadow.com does not link to any other Star Wars sites, since the vast majority openly state that he is a fraud. Most major Star Wars news websites have some sort of disclaimer which warns that any information found on supershadow.com and not verified elsewhere is fake. How he has attracted so many readers and why his site remains relatively popular remains a mystery.

On February 18, 2006, SuperShadow posted on his own site, in response to a question relating to this very question:

"SS: if you consult for GL, how come you don't have any links to the official site (starwars.com) or other Star Wars pages? (SuperShadow: We link to web sites only if their content was created by Lucas. starwars.com is not an official Lucas web site. SuperShadow.com is the official web site of George Lucas. We have exclusive Lucas-created content available only at SS.com. Lucas doesn’t want us linking to starwars.com because it contains so much false information from the expanded universe of novels, comic books and video games. Look around. 90% of our content comes directly from Lucas. Lucas has stated that his vision only covers the Star Wars films and SS.com. All other sources are fake, made-up stuff.)"

Status of SuperShadow.com

 * As of November 11, 2005, SuperShadow's website was apparently down.
 * As of December 2, 2005, the following statement is made under "About SuperShadow". Given the threats of legal action against Mr. Suttle from his original claim to be an employee of Industrial Light and Magic, it is a wonder the same has not been done after the addition of this statement as it has been there for at least two weeks.
 * "SuperShadow is legendary for revealing the plot scripts to Star Wars Episode 1, 2 and 3 many years prior to their theatrical release. Currently, SS is employed by Lucasfilm as a high-paid consultant related to future Star Wars and Indiana Jones projects."


 * As of January 11, 2006 (if not before), the following claim was added to "About SuperShadow":
 * "SuperShadow.com is the official web site of George Lucas."

As of January, 2006, Mr. Suttle posted that he has a high paying consulting job for Lucasfilm. He also claimed that he was featured prominently in the special features of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith'.


 * SuperShadow.com has had problems staying online, although it is hard to tell whether this is due to hacker attacks, or hosting provider troubles. Hackers have made a frequent target of the site, and some of the offline times have been marked by "suspended account" redirects. It is rumored that Supershadow.com is maintained by other people besides Suttle.

On 17 May 2006, SuperShadow introduced a PayPal link to his page, stating that Your donation makes you an official member of SuperShadow.com.

As of late, the updates to his website have become sporadic. Under the George Lucas section, "Lucas" has not answered any questions since June 15. Many say that he is having trouble with Lucas films or one of his so-called "girlfriends".

August 2006

The latest "Questions to SS" seem to be old ones. As of Friday the 18th some of the questions deal with the Revenge of the Sith DVD and what deleted scenes will be included.

September 2006

As of the 12th September, SS.com is fully active again. On the comments section Suttle claims to have returned from a vacation and the Lucas interviews section features an all new interview. It must also be noted that the Galaxy Map and the Girlfriend picture have been fully reinstated.

October 2006

As of October 3rd, Mr Suttle continues to answer almost daily questions from people under the fraudulent guise of George Lucas often making outrageous claims and insulting people who ask questions.

Attack on Wookieepedia
On November 2, 2005, a user by the name of "SuperShadow" attempted to attack Wookieepedia. They tried to redirect hundreds of articles to the main page, but were stopped in their tracks and banned from the site. Further attempts under user names similar to SuperShadow were made to attack the site, but they too were shut down.

The person behind the attacks was identified to be from Kentucky, which proved that he was not Mickey Suttle, the real SuperShadow. However, it could be that Suttle could have been using an Internet Proxy whilst attacking Wookieepedia, a view held by the Anti-SS forum ShadowScourge.

The only lasting effect of the attack was a positive one, as it prompted the creation of a standardized vandalism reporting function on Wookieepedia.

Confession?
Someone claiming to be Mickey Suttle recently apologized and confessed to deceiving fans as SuperShadow, via a MySpace site. However, there is no proof that the message was posted by the real Mickey Suttle and another MySpace website user. Suttle's main website is still operating.

Lucasfilm response
In issue #90 (Nov-Dec 2006) of the Star Wars Insider, Lucasfilm's Pablo Hidalgo stated in response to a question about Supershadow: "The site, and the person who runs it, have absolutely no relationship with Lucasfilm or George Lucas. The person who runs it has never met nor talked to George Lucas. So-called information, "scoops", and interviews on the site are complete fabrications. Lucasfilm has taken action against the site several times when it has attempted to solicit fans' money under false pretenses."

- Pablo Hidalgo

Group theory
There is a research done within the Shadowscourge community which alleges that "SuperShadow" is actually a collective pseudonym, and the original group behind SuperShadow included four people. Mickey Suttle, it claims, is the only one known of them because he owns the domain, and he regularly receives hostile phone calls from disgruntled visitors.
