Stormtroopers seek the droids! - Star Wars series 1 card #24

Another Movie Fact card here.

The front side portraying a nice picture of a Sandtrooper riding atop a Dewback.

What's TOPPS about this card?

1. Some interesting facts....Sandtroopers, were nearly identical to standard stormtroopers except they had additional training in specialized areas and advanced cooling systems in both their helmets and suits that offered them protection from the relentless heat.

2. Your average adult Dewback, stood at 1.3 to 2.1 meters in height and could reach lengths of 2 to 3 meters.

3. Film facts...for the original filming of Star Wars, the dewback was a mechanized lifesize puppet featuring limited articulation. On location in Tunisia, the dewback would not work properly, so it was tucked away in the background of shots rather than seen close-up.
