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.

Luke rushes to this loved ones. Star Wars series 1 card #25

2. Where are the wheels on that Land speeder? dog! that's right it didn't have any

3. Nice ding on the front side of the Land speeder

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.

...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
