Following the successful release of multi-series trading cards based on
the original Star Wars film series (1977-83), Topps released the first
volume of its Widevision series in 1995. These special cards were just
as tall as the standard Topps trading cards but twice as long--a format
that better reflected the widescreen dimensions of the films. Now, for
the first time, every card, as well as rare promotional cards and
limited edition chase cards, are reprinted in one deluxe collection.
This new volume includes the fronts and backs of each card, showcasing
original storyboards, fun facts, filmmaker quotes, behind-the-scenes
photos, and exclusive commentary by George Lucas. Also included are four
bonus cards, rare promotional images, an introduction by Gary Gerani,
the original editor of the Star Wars Topps series, and an afterword by
Star Wars collector Stephen J. Sansweet.
