1. These Movie Fact cards were great for fans of the films as they gave you an insight into the film making process....which would have been a great help in the pre-internet days.

2. Most the Tanooine footage, like this scene, was filmed in Tunisia.

3. Caption Competition: ...the whole audience saying "he's behind you!"...in true pantomime fashion

What's Topps about this card?

1. The little droid with the red markings is R5-D4..read about him here http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/R5-D4

2. It's around this scene in the movie that R2-D2 deliberately sabotages R5's motivator, so that Luke's Uncle Owen would purchase R2 instead...the plan worked.

3. An action figure was made for the R5-D4 unit..can be seen here http://www.rebelscum.com/VINtR5d4.asp

2. Caption competition #1: R2 saying to C-3PO "twirp, tweet, twirp, tweet"

3. Caption competition #2: C-3PO saying back to R2 "I think you really like the round looking droid over there, you should just go as tell him...I think he's been looking at you for a few minutes now"

The little droid, Artoo-Detoo

Oh isn't it cute. R2 (as he is affectionately known) was the Gary Coleman, the Webster of the Star Wars films. Small and cute.

Here is his/her/it's character card from the first card set series.

What's Topps about this card?

1. It's R2. Everyone loves R2

2. It's a character card.

3. It's hard to believe that they had someone sitting inside the droid suit. So really R2 is no more than a droid puppet.
