Artoo is imprisoned by the Jawas - Star Wars Series 1 card #11

The little Jawa's...I always felt sorry for them when the Storm Troopers torched a whole load of them.

What's Topps about this card?

1. They are mysterious...what is actually under that dark hood?

2. The front Jawa in this scene is saying to the others...."if we turn this droid upside down could use it as a waste paper basket.

3. Trivia...the Jawas were the centerpiece in one of the strangest copyright infringement cases involving Star Wars. In 1978, small hooded creatures with glowing eyes that Young called 'Roadeyes' began accompanying rocker Neil Young on stage during a concert tour, in a tour film, and on the cover of the album Rust Never Sleeps. The case was settled out of court.

See-Threepio and Artoo-Detoo

Star Wars series One card set by Topps (1977) - card #2

Here we have card 2 of this set...introducing the best non human comedy duo known to man, and non-humans alike.

C-3PO and R2-D2. Note the phonetic spelling on the card of See-Threepio and Artoo-Detoo..in case you get confused with C-3PO and R2-D2.

What's TOPPS about this card?

1. One can talk in 9 million different languages, the other can only speak in one, but everyone understands it anyway

2. They are the galactic version of Laurel and Hardy

3. If not for these 2 (robot and droid) the galaxy would be a very dark place
