Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi - Star Wars series 1 card #6

Character card for Obi-Wan Kenobi from the first series of Star Wars cards produced by Topps in 1977.

What's Topps about this card?

1. Hello....Academy Award winner right here...for his role as Colonel Nicholson in The Bridge on the River Kwai.

2. He's possibly the only member of the Star Wars cast to have had an active fighting role in World War II.

3. Aware that the film studio disagreed with his refusal to cast big-name stars, George Lucas signed the veteran stage and screen actor to play Obi-Wan
