Card #040: Ewoks

This seems like a canonical admission that the Ewoks were going to eat the Rebels.

Card #038: Creature Collaboration

A more primate-like Rancor would have been fun. Seems more classic sci-fi, for some reason.

Card #036:Gamorrean Guards

Both are very pig-like, but there's something about the initial design on the cardfront that is very dark fantasy in a way the final product isn't.

Card #034: The Rancor

I like the kind of frog waddle on the cardfront design.

Also, the Rancor was a Good Boy pressed into evil acts by its cruel master.

Card #033: Bad Hair Day?

Important to note these cards were out well before the Special Edition inserted Jabba into A New Hope.

The Jabba on the back has big "Pizza the Hut" vibes.

Card #032: Yoda As Gremlin

Those feet still creep me out, but I continue to dig puck-ish Yoda in his various forms.

Card #027: Jabba the Hutt

I don't love the Orientalism being tapped into here, but the bulging belly and Twi'lek-esque head tails are a nice touch.

Card #026: The Death Star

As far as these design sketches go, this is remarkably similar to the final product.

Card #023: Yoda

I've always liked the gnome-like proto Yoda on the cardback, which speaks to the cherubic charade he puts on when he first appears but the tripod feet on the cardfront are wild

Card #023: The All-Terrain Armored Transport

So, are you Team "@@" or Team "A-tee A-tee"?

I have always been the latter.

Card #019: Typical Wookiee Family

Behold, a rare official acknowledgement of the infamous #StarWarsHolidaySpecial!

Does directing The Rocketeer absolve Johnston's role in the special? 😏
