Card #140: Checklist
Ooh, checklist! Really underscores how oddly named many of the cards in this set are.
-
Card #139: Bruce Zick
These aliens look way more trippy and messed up than the cantina aliens in the movie, and I am here for it. Momaw Nadon is clearly having a great time rocking out to that jizz!
-
Card #138: Thomas Wm Yeats II
I have no idea what the image on the card is supposed to represent (beyond a shared "space fantasy" vibe), but the green shirt, brown pants & atypical setting make me think of Uli Qel-Droma.
-
Card #137: Al Williamson (B)
The way Williamson draws the Snowtrooper armor is great; love the way it seems modular and kit-bashed.

Card #136: Al Williamson (A)
I don't know how the editors of this set decided which artists got two cards but Williamson absolutely deserved to be one of them.
Pictured: the New Hope dewbacks' cooler, fitter older brother.

Card #135: Russell Walks
It's more pronounced in Return of the Jedi, but I love Chewie's little scraggly mustache so much.

Card #134: Charles Vess
Vess giving us a more serene training moment than Yoda's usual "heavy calisthenics while wearing me in a backpack" approach.

-
Card #133: John Van Fleet
Good little scene, great sense of movement & place. Busy, but not muddy, and grittier than a lot of the other cards.
-
Card #132: Jim Valentino
The Emperor as a grandpa? That would never happen! 😏
The yellow eyes, teeth and nails are a nice touch, giving the image subtle pop of color.

Card #131: Angelo Torres
One of the few cards in this subset to seemingly try and recreate a specific image/scene from one of the movies.

Card #130: Greg Theakston
Another great card, with a tremendous amount of its subject's personality depicted via a single static image.

Card #129: William Stout
One of my favorite cards. Love how the Ewok (presumably Wicket) both blends in to the background but remains the focal point.

Card #128: Dave Stevens
Luke, seeing one of Stevens' Bettie Page drawings.
-
Card #127: Brian Stelfreeze (B)
While I don't share Stelfreeze's admiration for Boba Fett, this is a great piece. I quite like the helmet image in the background.

Card #126: Brian Stelfreeze (A)
Great Leia. Another card heavily used in the promotion of the series.

-
Card #125: Ken Steacy
Contrary to the implication of the cardback text, this is not the first appearance of a womp rat; that occurred in Star Wars #17 back in '78.

-
Card #124: Walter Simonson
Simonson's run on the original comic back in the post-Empire, pre-Jedi time period, so presumably he means he never got to have any cool Vader/Luke/Leia conflicts.

-
Card #123: Bill Sienkiewicz
A rare for '93 look at the man inside the mask.
Interesting that Sienkiewicz's Fantastic Four work gets cited but not his New Mutants.
-
Card #121: P. Craig Russell
I never would have guessed Bib Fortuna would be such a popular subject, but I'm pretty sure he ends up with more cards than, say, Yoda.

-
Card #120: Joe Quesada
Future Marvel Editor-in-Chief with a surprisingly mellow but very nice Yoda.

-
Card #119: George Pratt
This is the picture hanging on the "Employee of the Month" wall outside Palpatine's office.
-
Card #118: George Perez
Even in an extreme closeup, Perez packs in a ton of detail, like the texture on the horns/tusks.

Card #117: Jason Palmer
A pretty faithful recreation of the scene from the movie, which does a good job of using the sense of scale relative to Luke to heighten the tension.

-
Card #116: Allen Nunis
I agree, this is a cool look.
There's been a few different "Leia gets the Boushh gear" stories through the years, but none that have ever quite hooked me.

Card #109: Cynthia Martin
Martin's work on the original Star Wars comic remains deeply underrated - though this card barely resembles her style there.

-
Card #108: Esteban Maroto
More Bikini Leia, though this is casting a bit of a wider net and channeling more of the saga's John Carter influences.
-
Card #107: Mike Lemos
After 1997, all copies of this card changed the angle of Greedo's blaster and made it clear he'd already fired a shot. 😏

Card #106: David Lapham
Tons of great stuff packed into this card, from Threepio's foot hand to Chewie's visceral howl to Artoo zapping a Jawa to the fact its all set inside the Falcon's cockpit.

Card #093: Fastner & Larson
Fastner & Larson have been fixtures of my local con scene for decades; I should have them sign this card - which is pretty great, agreed re: Leia - sometime.

-
Card #092: George Evans
This card is fascinating; Lando is in his RotJ general garb, but w/something close to his Empire cape & seems to be in the carbon freezing chamber toasting (w/o a glass), while Leia...warms her hands?
-
Card #084: Ted Boonthanakit
Not an artist with whom I'm familiar.
Also, not all the New Visions cards are of Slave Leia.

Card #083: Bret Blevins
Yeah, the thing that everyone who loves Slave Leia loves is the *costume itself*. Sure.
