According to Wookieepedia:

The entire Shadows of the Empire project, though not technically a film, can be collectively considered the closest project to a film in the Star Wars official continuity. This story is significant in the fact that Lucas reportedly said he would have made a story like this into a movie if he had had the time and effort back in the early 1980s.

Suppose that Lucas has the time to make this film. Given the popularity of the first two films, it would be a certain hit. The plot is the same as the novel and it comes out in 1983 when Return of the Jedi did IOTL. Return of the Jedi comes out in 1986.

What would the ramifications of this have been?
