Another Movie Facts card from the first series of Star Wars cards produced by Topps in 1977.

What's Topps about this card?

1. More interesting facts to read about on the back of the card. Of course, today we have the internet to read such trivia.

2. They really didn't make C-3PO to last did they...like, how many times in the Star Wars movies did he lose a limb or two?

3. Caption Competion: comment by Ben, "My word C-3PO they didn't half make your goldmember a decent size. You'll have to give me the name of your manufacturer".

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
