Hunted by the Sandpeople! - Star Wars series 1 card #20

that there be a Bantha..

Here we have a Tusken Raider (aka Sand person or people, take your pick), riding a Bantha.

What's Topps about this card?

1. That Bantha has to be one of the better creatures in the Star Wars universe, maybe because it has a striking resemblance to a woolly mammoth.

2. In the original version of A New Hope, the bantha was played by a trained elephant named Mardji in a fur costume. In later version the Bantha was digitised.

3. The distinctive spiral horns of the bantha grow at the rate of a knob each year...fact!
