The History of Star Wars Cards

The history of Star Wars cards starts all the way back in the late 1970s, around the time that the first movie came out. Lots of companies have made these cards over the years, but Topps is probably the most famous.

When the original movie, Star Wars A New Hope, came out, people were so excited that lots of companies created new products to help fans connect with the movie, and that included trading cards. These old cards have now become popular collector's items. Now there are hundreds of new Star Wars cards every year that are released by Topps, and many other companies.
