Originally published in 1978 by [[Del Rey Books|Del Rey]], a division of [[Ballantine Books]], the book was written with the intention of being adapted as a low-budget sequel to ''Star Wars'' in case the original film was not successful enough to finance a high-budget sequel. ''Splinter of the Mind's Eye'' was the first ''[[Star Wars]]'' novel with an original storyline published after the release of the original film, and is thus considered, alongside the [[Star Wars (comic strip)|''Star Wars'' newspaper comic strip]] and [[Star Wars (1977 comic book)|Marvel's 1977 comic series]], to mark the beginning of the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|''Star Wars'' Expanded Universe]]. The story focuses on [[Luke Skywalker]] and [[Princess Leia]], who are marooned together on the world of Mimban, where they encounter the locals and struggle against the forces of the evil [[Galactic Empire (Star Wars)|Galactic Empire]], including [[Darth Vader]].
