A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… People started collecting Star Wars cards.
With the first set of Star Wars cards coming out officially in 1977, it certainly feels like a long time ago…
But the force is still strong with Star Wars cards and they are still being produced even today. The popularity of the franchise is still sky-high, despite the fact that it’s been going on for almost 50 years now.
Not only do Star Wars cards represent the history of this franchise, but they also show us the way the card collecting world has been changing throughout the decades.
If you’re a Star Wars fan and you like old or new cards (or both!), then there’s almost certainly something in it for you when it comes to the best Star Wars cards.

Best 1977 Topps Star Wars Cards (Series 1 to Series 5)
It all started in 1977 when the world was hypnotized by the Star Wars craze. The first official Star Wars card set was released that year as a 66-card set.
The interesting thing about this set is the underground “war” that was going on between Donruss and Topps to get the license for these cards. Both knew that because the movies were such a hit, there was absolutely no doubt that these cards would sell like hotcakes.
In the end, Topps ended up with the license and the result was the Series 1 cards released in 1977.
The funny thing is that many of the collectors initially were kids, so they didn’t really keep their cards well or ended up discarding them. This now means that there’s a shortage of good cards, and you might struggle to find them in the best conditions – if at all.
There were five series of early Star Wars cards. The first series was released in 1977 and these cards had a blue border. They were meant to complement the Star Wars story and its timeline. Here’s how the first few sets were developed:
● Series 1 – 66 cards, blue border
● Series 2 – 66 cards, red border
● Series 3 – 66 cards, yellow border
● Series 4 – 66 cards, green border
● Series 5 – 66 cards, orange border
Since then, there have been many, many Star Wars card sets released all around the world, but the 1977 set remains to be seen as one of the more iconic Star Wars card sets.
Series 1 remains to be one of the most popular Star Wars card sets of all time.
1977 Topps Star Wars Luke Skywalker #1
The series 1 cards had a distinct blue border with white stars on the border, and a central image of the main character the card represents.
The #1 card in the first set was arguably the most desired card back in the day – and even today. If you can find a professionally graded card like this one of Skywalker, then you’re in for a good profit – these will sell for several hundred, if not thousand, dollars.
The back of these cards varied – 44 of the 66 cards from the first set contained a story puzzle, which made collecting cards even more fun.
The only detrimental thing about these cards is that the images are somewhat blurry…
But we can forgive that to Topps and give them the benefit of the doubt considering that the card collecting world was only really starting back then, and the budget was probably quite low for the production of these cards.
You could say that almost any card from 1977 that involves an important character is still highly popular. We might not include some of them on this list, but you should know that most of them can have a big value.
1977 Topps Star Wars Series 1 The Villainous Darth Vader #7
No good sci-fi movie is complete without an imposing villain, and Darth Vader was the perfect villain to oppose the good rebel forces inside the Star Wars lore.
Sometimes dark and powerful, other times mysterious and cruel, Darth Vader is arguably the most potent character in the series, and in a twist of imagination, he even plays a crucial role as Luke Skywalker’s father.
The importance of Darth Vader grows as the series progresses, too.
That’s why this dark character still gets a lot of attention, despite the fact that he’s seen as the ultimate villain in the movie. Today, he’s celebrated as one of the best ever movie villains, which is why cards with Vader on them will always be valuable.
1977 Topps Star Wars Obi Wan Kenobi #6
The legendary Jedi Master, Obi Wan Kenobi, is a constant presence throughout the series. He’s the guidance, the mentor for both Anakin and Luke Skywalker, and he’s viewed as a positive figure in the series.
His cards have always been popular, but perhaps none more so than this one from 1977.
The biggest limitation is that it’s near impossible to find it in decent shape, though.
This one particularly is rated as a PSA 9, and as expected, the price of the card is through the roof – well into five figures.
Some ungraded cards may be found, but these cards are very rare and extremely hard to find.
1977 Star Wars Series 1 #3 R2D2
R2D2 was and still is one of the more popular figures in the Star Wars lore. And this card is the first ever Star Wars card to feature this little droid.
It’s funny how this seemingly inanimate object still gained so much popularity – even though it appears lifeless, it is full of emotions and very relatable.
This card will still sell like crazy if you can find a graded card. The card might be worth several hundred dollars and potentially even more, especially if it is graded and well preserved.
1977 Topps Star Wars Series 1 Han Solo #4
Being one of the good guys, Han Solo was one of the central figures of the first few movies that came out in the late 70s. That’s why his card is highly sought after and still popular even today.
As with most other cards from the Series 1 set, it’s highly unlikely you’ll find it in good shape. And if you do, you can expect it to cost well into five figures.
1977 Topps Star Wars Series 2 Luke’s Uncle and Aunt #104
The cards from series 2 with the red border were simply continuations of the story of the Star Wars lore. Many of these had puzzles on the back of the card, which collectors loved to collect in order to complete the story.
This particular card features Luke in his uncle’s house, preparing to hear some stories from his uncle.
1977 Topps Star Wars Series 2 Luke in Disguise #125
This is also one of the more popular cards from Series 2 and the overall cards from Topps that were made in 1977. It’s a hard find, this one, especially if you’re looking for graded cards. But even ungraded cards will be hard to get, as they will have many suitors that you’ll have to compete against.
1977 Topps Star Wars Series 3 Strormtrooper #194
Series 3 was the next set released, and it also had 66 cards. These cards had a yellow border and they were a continuation of the Star Wars story, as they tried to fit how the movies progressed with the story.
Storm troopers were not the most popular characters in the movie, but they were still notorious…
Even today, storm troopers represent an important figure in the Star Wars role, even if they’re represented as the “bad guys” in most Star Wars movies.
1977 Topps Star Wars Series 3 The Storm Troopers #173
We’ve mentioned that Series 1 cards are the most popular cards of the 1977 cards because they showed the main characters…
However, the subsequent Series can be quite valuable as well, because they’re very hard to get. Many of these cards were discarded or simply lost, because the collectors back then were mostly kids, giving the real collectors nowadays a headache.
1977 Topps Star Wars Series 4 Luke Skywalker #235
The next set of cards from the 1977 collection of Topps cards were Series 4 cards.
These cards had a typical green border, and the set also contained 66 of different cards. In this set, there were many portraits of characters just like the above one, although the set also contained some story cards.
Some of the most popular portraits from the Series 4 set include Luke Skywalker (seen in the image), C3-PO, Princess Leia, Uncle Owen Lars, Ben Kenobi, R2-D2, Storm Trooper, Darth Vader, Han Solo, and several others.
This is how the Darth Vader card looks like from this set, if you were wondering (card #217):
1977 Topps Star Wars Series 5 Rebels #279
The last set of cards from the 1977 series was the Series 5 set, which also contained 66 cards. The distinct feature of these cards was the orange border. The set contained cards numbered from #265 to #330.
On this particular card, you can find the rebels awaiting the imperial attack. It’s number 279 in the Series 5 set, which means that the card is near the beginning of the story from the Series 5 set.
1977 Topps Star Wars Series 5 C-3PO and R2-D2 #294
This card shows the two lovable droids make their escape from their capture as they attempt to help the rebel forces win the fight against the Empire.
R2D2 and C-3PO played an important role in the story, even though it seemed as though the two characters were initially inserted as peripheral and lovable characters. Their cards have always been and continue to remain popular.
1977 Topps Star Wars Series 5 Aliens #293
Here’s yet another quite popular card from the 1977 series which contained the aliens. The series 5 cards contained a lot of these interesting cards and they were heavily story-focused, so you won’t find many portraits inside Series 5.
1977 Topps Star Wars Stickers
Along with the cards that were made in 1977, Topps decided to make packs with stickers. These were incredibly popular at first, and they are very rare to find today because many consumers opted to use the stickers rather than collect them.
However, the stickers that you can find can be some of the most expensive stickers around.
For instance, if you can find a good Luke Skywalker sticker like the one below, it might cost several hundred dollars if not more.
There are some other cool stickers of the main characters from Star Wars, including Darth Vader, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Obi Wan Kenobi, Grand Moff Tarkin, Princess Leia, and several others.
The stickers were portrait-focused, and they all had a border around them. For instance, the Luke Skywalker sticker has a green border, while others may have had red, orange, or yellow borders, too.
So, that’s the way Topps changed the card collecting world of Star Wars for good in 1977. Most subsequent sets were from Topps, which suited the company well seeing just how popular the cards and the stickers were when they released them in 1977.
1993 Topps Star Wars Galaxy Cards
From 1977 to 1993, the Topps Star Wars cards went into a bit of slumber.
With the success that 1977 cards had, you’d expect Topps to keep producing these cards every year. However, it took them until 1993 to release one of the next bigger sets – it was called the Topps Star Wars Galaxy.
These Star Wars trading cards were vastly different from the cards that were released back in 1977. Instead of featuring portraits of characters from the movies, Topps decided to feature a completely different artstyle – something we haven’t seen before 1993 with Star Wars cards.
Six etched cards were formed together to create a puzzle, meaning that many collectors collected these cards to complete puzzles.
Given the fact that there wasn’t a major card release for the Star Wars world ever since the early 80s, this set was quite popular at first, although not quite as popular as the 1977 cards.
Today, you will most likely find individual cards from the set for relatively low prices, although many of them will be ungraded. Your best bet would be to buy the entire trading card box, as there are many of them still selling on eBay for relatively cheap.
1996 Topps Star Wars Finest Cards
The history of Star Wars trading cards continues in 1996, when Topps started implementing the latest card methods and features to their Star Wars cards.
This time, they started including chromium cards as well as embossed cards. There were also parallels such as the gold parallels, which increased the value of some cards through their rarity and premium looks.
This was a 90-card set which primarily focused on the characters from the movies.
The artstyle for these cards was unique and relatively new, although some experimentation was to be expected after the mixed success with 1993 cards.
10 different artists were included in the creation of these cards, and each artist worked on a specific part of the lore to create cards. Cards numbered from #2 to #9 were most popular, as they featured characters from the Rebels. #19 to #27 included Imperial characters, while most other characters in the set were side characters.
These are the most popular cards from the 1996 Star Wars Finest set:
● #2 Luke Skywalker
● #3 Princess Leia
● #7 Han Solo
● #8 Chewbacca
● #19 Emperor Palpatine
● #20 Darth Vader
● #21 Moff Tarkin
● #34 Boba Fett
● #38 Yoda
● #82 C-3PO
● #83 R2D2
Here’s #2 Luke Skywalker:
#20 Darth Vader:
And #38 Yoda:
These tend to be cheaper than the other two sets we’ve mentioned earlier. Most of them will be available for under a decent price.
2007 Topps Star Wars 30th Anniversary Cards
Three decades after the release of the first Star Wars movie (and 30 years after the first Star Wars card sets), Topps decided to go back to the basics and release a Star Wars card set with a more classical feel to it.
The base set has 120 cards, and many of them included the key characters, some scenes from the movies, George Lucas himself, and some scenes behind the set.
There are also parallels for these cards; the blue and red parallels are more common, while the gold parallels only have 30 copies for each card. Of course, the gold parallels will be most expensive.
Some cards were also signed by the actors, and considering that there were rumours that the card set would only have 10 copies, collectors went crazy for them.
2017 Topps Stellar Signatures Cards
The 2017 Stellar Signatures cards from Topps was yet another attempt by the company to create rare and exclusive cards that would sell for more than most cards they’re released up to that point.
They tried to implement autographs onto the cards by the actors, which meant the cards became an instant hit. Because each card only had 40 copies to it, many collectors were prepared to spend big just to get one of these cards.
Some of these Star Wars trading cards today sell for several thousand dollars. Of course, the cards from the main protagonists will be most expensive. Luke Skywalker and Han Solo stand out in this regard.
2018 Star Wars Galaxy Cards
The latest edition of Star Wars trading cards comes from 2018, when Topps released a 150-card set with art illustrations of the most popular characters from the series.
These cards were not as popular as the earlier cards, although many people still wanted to have them because of the art style that was implemented on these cards.
They’re meant more for pure collectors rather than for card trading. There were also parallels for the cards, including blue, green, purple, orange, and red. These tend to be more expensive than base cards.
FAQ
What Star Wars Cards Are Worth Money?
Star Wars trading card values tend to be higher for the earlier cards from 1977, especially cards from the most popular characters from the series. All cards from series 1 to series 5 cards from 1977 will be worth a good amount of money, depending on the quality of the card.
In essence, almost all the Star Wars trading cards will be worth some money, but the 1977 cards and the 2017 Signatures cards tend to be most valuable.
Are Star Wars Cards Collectible?
Topps have been releasing Star Wars cards ever since 1977, and most of them are great for collectors, although the 1977 cards can be expensive. These cards also had puzzles on the back of the cards which contained bits of the story to make the collecting part a bit more fun.
How Do You Play Star Wars Cards?
Most Star Wars cards we’ve featured here are not meant to be played with, although there is a Star Wars card game called Star Wars: The Card Game, which is a living card game where two people square off against each other with their cards.
What Is the Most Valuable Star Wars Card?
The most valuable Star Wars cards are the 1977 cards from series 1, which feature all the main characters – these include Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and others.
The values of these cards can go all the way up to $100.000 because they’re rare and extremely hard to get in good conditions.
