I remember SotE very well. The whole thing was a major media event by Lucasfilm. There was:

PC and N64 game
Tie-in novel
Comic book series
Soundtrack CD
A 'making of' book

Essentially, everything that would've been released to promote a major film but this time, there was no film. I remember the making of book well as there was a picture of the game developers playing the N64 version but their hands were in cardboard boxes. The N64 hadn't been released yet and so they had to hide the controllers from prying eyes.
