Star Wars Cards

Series 5 (Orange Cards)

This is the final series of Star Wars cards issued by Topps in 1978. This card set contained a final 66 cards and 11 stickers. The cards run from numbers 265 to 330 and the 11 stickers run from numbers 45 to 55. The cards for this set were orange bordered, and the stickers had an orange 'film strip' style border.

This set of cards expanded to include more behind the scenes coverage of the film. While this may not make for the most action-packed or visually pleasing trading cards, for movie fans, they're fascinating. Star Wars used a ton of groundbreaking effects. DVDs or Blu-rays weren't around back then to regularly pull back the curtain to provide insight on how things were done. This set does a good job providing a look into some of those effects. The box also advertised more Cantina scenes, perhaps in response to feedback from kids collecting the cards and stickers.
