Card #065: The Main International

The OG poster is rightly classic but I've always loved this Japanese version. The lights on the AT-ATs, the sharp angle of the Falcon, the drape of Lando's cloak, all add additional levels of drama

Card #064: Two Lukes

For all the different Empire Strikes Back posters there are, it's notable how often "big looming Darth Vader head" is used as a visual representation of the title.

Card #063: Dave Dorman

Any Dark Empire or Star Wars Radio drama fans out there?

The original radio drama is a blast, and def worth a listen if you haven't. Lots of wild additions.

Card #061: If Droids Can Frolic

Always here for a Hoojib reference.

I've never had an Artoo cookie jar, but I do have an Artoo soy sauce dispenser.

Card #060: A Close Encounter

As the first of its kind, Splinter of the Mind's eye is solid, though it's vastly more interesting to read through the lens of being a potential sequel to a less successful Star Wars.

Card #059: An Evil Darth Vader

The novelization cover is definitely how I'm most familiar with this image.

Card #052: A More Realistic

These card titles continue to be whack.

I don't think I've seen the cardfront poster before, but the cardback one is a classic & a nice reminder of the movie's long theatrical legs.

Card #048: Howard Chaykin

New category: Art of Star Wars!

Kicking off with the promo poster Howard Chaykin did to help drum up interest in the movie at the '76 San Diego Comic Con.
