In 1980, following the success of Star Wars (1977) and the series of tie-in trading cards based on the blockbuster film, Topps released three new series of collectible trading cards to coincide with the release of The Empire Strikes Back. Now, for the first time, all 352 cards and 88 stickers are reprinted in a single deluxe volume. Reproducing the fronts and backs of each card, this collection includes character profiles, story cards, movie facts, quotes, trivia and puzzles featuring beloved characters and scenes from The Empire Strikes Back. Also included are four bonus trading cards, the Photo Card series, rare promotional images and an introduction and commentary by Gary Gerani, the original editor of Topps´s Star Wars series.
