War! And Cards of a Legendary Series
While George Lucas will always have his fingerprints on everything Star Wars, Star Wars: The Clone Wars was the last of his direct involvement in the galaxy, far, far away. And much like how the mega-popular Andor has sent fans back to Disney+ to relive the timeless tale of the Rebel Alliance vs. the Galactic Empire, The Clone Wars has only gained popularity on Disney’s streaming platform over the years.
It’s not surprising, considering Lucas and Dave Filoni’s brilliant storytelling and iconic characters such as Ahsoka Tano, Darth Maul, Cad Bane, and so many others that have found their way to other pieces of Star Wars media. Thankfully, Topps and Star Wars go together like Luke Skywalker and blue milk. With sets like the original 2008 Topps Star Wars: The Clone Wars release, Topps Chrome® Black Star Wars, and the Topps Star Wars Living Set™, there’s no shortage of cards to collect for your favorite Jedi, Sith, or clone trooper.
