A horrified Luke sees his family killed. Star Wars series 1 card #26
What's TOPPS about this card?
1. More serious acting faces for Mark Hamil
2. Must have been terrible to see their charred bodies...yuck!
3. Apparently, Owen Lars spat in the face of a Imperial Stormtrooper, which ultimately led to his and Beru's death. But you'd think that with all the armour a Stormtrooper has on, a bit of spit wouldn't do much damage.

See-Threepio is injured! - Star Wars series 1 card #23
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".

Luke Skywalker - Star Wars series 1 card #1
Card set - Star Wars series 1 by Topps in 1977 - card #1
Time to change it up again...so the next few posts will be from the first trading card set for the first Star Wars movie (later to be known as 'A New Hope').
Topps put out no less than 5 different sets for Star Wars, each came in a set of 66 cards with an additional 11 stickers.
Go here....
http://www.starwarscards.net/1977topps1.htm
...for more info on this set.
But onto this card.
What's Topps about this card?
1. It's the first one in the set...you can start without the first one.
2. It's a character card...so it's not a scene from the movie
3. He's in dress-up...as a Storm Trooper no less. You'd have thought the first card in the pack would be Luke all done up in his flouncy shirt, with his light saber...but they saved that card for #57 in this set for some reason
