UPDATE! Topps Release Card List for Star Wars and The Force Awakens.
Way back when, the card company Topps unveiled the names of five major characters from The Force Awakens on a few of their cards. Now, the card list revealing the first wave of cards directly related to the movie and Star Wars as a whole has been released by Topps themselves!
Mild spoilers for Act One ahead.
First, let’s start by looking at the first image in the checklist – which is by far the most informative one.
Cards 81-110 are dedicated to The Force Awakens, although they don’t quite appear to be completely in chronological order.
Nonetheless, it appears to cover the entirety of the Act One of the film, from the opening attack on the village to Han and Chewie’s heartwarming return. Some things of note:
- The general narrative that appears to come from this is that Finn ditches the First Order after a run-in with Kylo Ren, he meets up with Rey, and they get off of the planet with BB-8 after an extended chase sequence. Basically, what we have already heard, but more streamlined.
- A number of cards mention Poe Dameron, the X-wings, and the Resistance, but Resistance’s forces don’t seem to fit into the narrative of Act One so far. Presumably, most of the scenes shown in the cards come from later points in the movie.
- The wording on Card 85 – “Rey Takes Off” suggests that this is the point where she launches the Millennium Falcon, although it could simply be referring to her using her speeder. Card 98 – “Resilient Survivor” also probably refers to her, as does Card 91 – “A Mysterious Figure” (unless that’s the shot of Luke resting his hand on R2-D2).
- Card 96 – “Master Of Evil” is most likely referring to either Kylo Ren or Supreme Leader Snoke. While I’m tempted to say that it’s the latter, I’m not sure if Lucasfilm is willing to reveal Snoke so soon, and especially through a more quiet avenue like this.
The rest of the list is less interesting, covering character names, autographs, and assorted material – however, The Force Awakens gets its fair share of representation here.
The last picture has an interesting nugget of information: Card P-11 – “TIE Fighter: Kylo Ren” suggests that the primary antagonist of The Force Awakens has his own personalized TIE. With so little information on space battles in the movie (ironic), one has to wonder where his ship fits into the equation. On another note, this definitely confirms that R2-D2 and C-3PO are both part of the Resistance.
A few scans of these cards have recently hit the web.
When scans of more of the cards related to The Force Awakens hit the net, we will be sure to post them here.
UPDATE!
A few of the cards of the movie’s characters (plus some vehicles) have been revealed.
There’s also a familiar-looking one.
This shot seems to come from the same photoshoot that produced this image:
Special thanks to The Cantina user Altgr0160 for pointing this information out.

When he’s not hard at work with his college studies, he keeps himself busy by reporting on all kinds of Star Wars news for SWNN and general movie news on the sister site, Movie News Net. He served as a frequent commentator on SWNN’s The Resistance Broadcast.
Well, I guess you could say that this *is* tops.
Cool. Gotta catch em all!!
It be cool to make Star Wars Magic the gathering cards
there are plenty of star wars card games out there already; try the latest one “Star Wars the Card Game: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/star-wars-the-card-game/
Star Wars is dead – long live Star Trek… Thanks for ruining it JJ.
“this definitely confirms that R2-D2 and C-3PO are both part of the Resistance.”
Was that ever a mystery?
Not really, but at one point there was a rumor that C-3PO was Hux’s companion.
That’s true, but I think that was already debunked with the Comic-Con Reel.
Damn. I wanted to hear ‘3P0 yell “Die, Jedi dogs!” again. :/
Those card scans and more like them were released the other day in the Star Wars card trader app
Oh, neat! Do you have any links to images of the TFA-related items?
Yup….Luke has a 2 second cameo, and there’s no original cast interaction for sure now.
F*ck you, JJ.
Get some editing software, or a pen and do your own version.
In the meantime just go do something of value.
Like not waste a once in a lifetime opportunity to have the OT cast together in a movie?
Give them to any director and producer no matter what is done, nothing will ever be what came before.
There will always be some Runny Critical Bullshit!
You will never be satisfied.
“A once in a lifetime chance to have the OT cast in a movie.”
Now, I’m assuming you mean a Star Wars movie?
I have some news for you: the OT cast was in THREE WHOLE MOVIES together. They’re the OT.
I for one don’t want to see them dragged out. New characters is a GOOD thing. Mark, Carrie, and Harrison are here to pass the torch, because it’s time.
-EDIT- Replied to the wrong comment, sorry dude.
It could actually be good if Luke’s role is small. A shorter appearance could enhance the impact of his scenes and make the story more interesting. I would credit Kasdan with this – it would go against the current trend of showing way too much either of characters (endless backstories!) or their abilities or action in general. Less is more.
Also, it is likely that any scene with all three of them together would be silly and pointless.
Nothing indicates that this is the case at all. Almost all of this stuff is from Act One. We’ll see more stuff from later on in the movie as the release date approaches.
Mark Hamill was filming for over 6 months he will have more than a cameo in tfa
She looks so cool next to Chewie.
Han looks dead with her sitting next to Chewie
Way to go, Topps, for finding someone to rip off Drew Struzan’s style. Classy.
Watercolor and gouche with scratch pen minus his over use of cgi flares…very common.
Sorry, but you are wrong with the entire comment there. He uses acrylic, airbrush and prismacolor pencils not watercolour and gouache. Scratchy pen?? What’s that?. You mean the texture is gesso, applied before he begins . Overuse of flares? Are we referring to the same artist here? Or is that some reference to an old thing that JJ used to do in his earlier films. He doesn’t use photos, with feathered out effects in his illustrations. Sorry, love struzan, just defending his honour and not having a go at you my friend.
I don’t get it. It’s druzan style sure but then it has photos superimposed and feathered in. You can clearly see some of those shots are photos. Have they got some one to replicate his style as I can’t see drew being happy for someone to do that to his artwork. Also if they have got someone to carry on his style has that person done the cover to the C3-PO Cover as again the colours, swirling texture of the gesso’d board, etc.. All say struzan. Does the neatly placed barcode hide a signature. What’s going on…..? Love struzan, not sure what Disney is doing here!
#1 Drew’s artwork is amazing but his style is hardly original, but it’s hardly surprising when people emulate him as they try to do so with anyone and anything that’s considered great.
#2 Topps did not create this artwork.
I’m so hot right now
Lol I didn’t read the article, just looked at the checklist and saw “Negotations gone wrong”…for a moment there I went braindead. Phew.
What negotations, anyway?
“You were right about one thing, Master: The negotiations were short.”
It was an amazing joke Obi came up with there. The audience roared
I see the prequel haters are out today… actually what am I saying the prequel haters are out everyday.
Of course everyone hates the craptastic borefest that was the PT.
Speak for yourself……
i see the prequel haters haters are out today
Those cards look pretty cool.
The one with Chewie, Rey, and the Millennium Falcon is the most interesting. Why is Rey piloting with Chewie in his usual co-pilot position? If this is from the first act, then where is Han and Finn?
BB-8 seems destined to always be at Rey’s side. Much like the relationship between Luke and R2.
Really like the chest rigs the stormtroopers are wearing, but what do they actually contain? Their rifles fire lasers.
Chewie and Rey in the cockpit of the Falcon is most likely from the third act. It’s a montage of images, so they’ve taken it from all over.
Yeah, that’s what I thought. After the death of Han. Otherwise, why would he let someone else fly his ship?
Like how he let Lando fly it?
True, but only because Han was part of the Endor ground assault team and Lando was an old friend/previous owner. He wouldn’t let just anyone fly her.
Or have Leia sitting there like in ANH when they escaped the DS?
Oh you mean when Han was preoccupied manning the Falcon’s laser cannons and Chewie was the one actually flying her.
Anyhoo.
Because it is her ship ya douche…when he says we’re home he is boarding her ship.
Oh yeah. She’s a scavenger on Jakku, yet according to you, she owns the Falcon. The ownership would give her the autonomy to fly anyway in the universe. But no, she chooses to live in an old AT-AT, and scavage on some desert planet. Pish!!!
If you are so confused, read Making star wars.net, they have been right about everything so far… and they think Rey flies the Falcon by the end of the film.
fyi, she also inherits his gun too.
To be fair, if you stop and think about it, it’s not like she’s harvesting moisture from desert air- there was a huge battle between the Empire and the Rebels on Jakku, which evidently means LOADS of crashed ships and speeders, tons of abandoned gear and armour to be salvaged from dead ground forces, military intel to be gathered from dropped comms devices, etc. So yes, it does make sense for Rey to stay on Jakku if she’s a scavenger, because that’s where the money is. And living modestly in a Spartan abode inside a downed walker, well that’s just using your environment to find natural shelter. It would have been easier and more convenient to convert something as huge as that than to build an entire house, and it’s most likely very close to her main salvaging area anyway. And if you think about it logically, it’s also well much less conspicuous- if you spend your time taking all the useful and valuable bits out of a warzone, the easiest way for unscrupulous types to make quick money would be to steal it from someone who’s already done all the leg-work. So it makes more sense to hide your place from above by putting it in a downed walker. 😀 /rant
I hear what you’re saying. But if you owned the Millennium Falcon (from the start of the movie), wouldn’t you be out there exploring the galaxy and making a living from it. It was a ship designed or refitted for intergalactic smuggling.
i agree, probably one of the last shots of the film where she and Chewie fly to Luke.
notice the sad look on Rey btw.
and damn, im really gonna feel for Chewie.
Rey is going to be the main character, but the advertising and merchandising campaign is going to up play Kylo Ren and Finn because they are still catering to little boys who are too sexist to realize that girls are humans too.
no, they are pandering to the needs of little boys like you who are too dumb to realize they are being played by a bunch of politically correct, sexist, feminist a-holes who see fit to stamp their agenda on everything, enjoy your new girl lead roles you weak fool
wow…are you an MRA or just butthurt that women don’t want to let you touch them?
The Falcon is a big ship. Not everyone needs to be in the cockpit at once.
They contain extra power packs.
What I found interesting was that there is one pair of names on the second list that seem very out of place. All of other names on that second list feature in the films somewhere except “Satine Kryze and Bo-Katan Kryze”. I wonder if this hints at them having some relevance to The Force Awakens? I’m thinking particularly of the rumours that did the rounds about one of the characters being a descendant of Obi-Wan. I hope not, and I think it almost certainly doesn’t mean that, but it did make me wonder…
Savage Oppress was never in the movies either.
I doubt that, it was perhaps Filoni’s fan-fiction, if anything.
When is the release date for these cards?
A helping hand – is this maybe when luke steps in to the fray? The hand may be a reference to his robotic hand?
The cards will just images from the trailers. All the descriptions fit
How are you guys gonna feel if Han and Luke have no scenes together and Han gets killed off? Personally, I understand the need to create a new, young Big 3, but this may have been the only chance to have the original Big 3 in a SW movie together.
If Luke has one scene, it will suck for a lot of fans. Same if Han dies. And so far we have not even seen Leia. Tons of Boyega and Daisy, but really phasing out the original trio.
The movie is what it is at this point and you don’t know all of it, so just chill.
I never expected the big three so be happy for what you are gonna get.
“so be happy for what you are gonna get”
yes lord and master, sure.
It all depends on how it’s written. If it’s poignant and meaningful, then it’ll be good. If it’s poorly written, then it won’t.
As long as the movie is good, I’m fine. I have no checklist of things that have to happen. I just want a good movie.
So far the cards about the force awakens have all the scenes of the two teasers… and that’s the first act only??? Can’t wait!
There is little doubt in my mind that Kilo Ren’s mask used to be Vaders. The back is clearly Vaders.
Those aren’t scans, they’re from the SWCT App, I didn’t read the comments so I don’t know if someone said that. There’s also an awesome Kylo Ren Widescreen card. Also, I was hoping the “mysterious figure” card would be Snoke. Just reminds me of Ep 1 and Sidious
I don’t think the cards relating to TFA are in chronalogical order here, I think the cards only reveal what we’ve already seen from the trailers.
I figured that. Still, I wouldn’t put it past them to “leak” something through the cards.
to all the nay sayers about killing off han : it was most likely the key point in Harrison Ford’s contract that Solo be killed off for him to do the movie ( remember his plead to Lucas during Jedi ?)
i also strongly think that the original draft of the force awakens had way less Solo in it ( most likely as much screentime as Fisher and Hamill) but got changed once it was decided this was to be Ford’s last star wars outing.
I also predict more screentime for Luke in Episode VII and his eventual death in episode IX. I think Luke’s brief cameo at the end will have the same impact as say Geoffrey Rush’s re appearance at the end of the second pirates film. ( witch from a directing point of view was a brilliant move, because it just followed the death of a major character that led the audience going from sad to leaving the cinema happy and hopeful )
Boyega’s acting in his previous film ‘Attack the Block’ was so amazingly terrible I’m not sure how or why anyone would have ever chosen him for such a major role, regardless of color or nationality. The guy reads his lines like he doesn’t understand what the words mean.
Is there a specific identity for the trooper with the red shoulder? I can’t help but wonder if he/she is important for having that apparent superior position.
yes, cheverolet advertising
Please keep spreading your racist and sexist comments across the Internet. The more people realize how serious a problem this is, the sooner our culture can make real progress.
That was a racist comment indeed. Since those racist Anonymouses don’t get anywhere here by trying it straight forward, they come around the corner now. The amount of stupidity that leads to these comments quite pathetic indeed.
I like the new website layout.
I was Googling for Star Wars Spoilers and someone has released “Star Wars Spoiler Antidote Hypnotherapy”. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22star%20wars%20spoiler%20antidote%20hypnotherapy%22&rct=j&qscrl=1
I downloaded the track and it’s a soothing voice that you’re meant to play while you sleep I guess, that tells your subconscious to forget all the spoilers you’ve heard before you go to watch the film for real.
I can’t avoid the spoilers! But I don’t want to read the spoilers! Maybe this will give me the best of both worlds. I’m going to try it, but I guess I won’t know for sure till December 21st!
It’s on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Google Play etc. Let us know how you get on.
Are you crazy, dude??
The money that you don’t have buys you the stuff that you don’t need.
I come on here everyday because I am a massive fan, every new post is littered with racist, sexist,JJ is shit pt is shit stuff, its boring and ruins the post. Who cares I love star wars and will swallow any shit iam given, yeah I have favourites but that’s MY OPINION. I come here because I feel this is the best site and iam not interested in getting into deep life discussions which ARE NOT RELATED TO STAR WARS, its not real guys and girls but if u leave the politics out it is fun
Life is politics. There is nothing without politics. Making the decision to not post anything political is a higly political decision.
I choose to keep politics for the real world this is supposed to be a fan site for people who love star wars and quite frankly I couldn’t care less if the main character is black, a women or humps a ewok
No Harrison ford autograph?
I have said before, i will wait until i see episode 7 before i make any judgements, or buy anything of Star Wars material. As for the race stuff, its kinda sad to see that. Really to me, the race stuff really began when rumors of Finn and Rey might get together for some nukie nukie on Jakuu, or another place. But, rather you agree or not, fans are entitled to their opinions. How many peeps would yak if Beyonce made out with a white boy in a Holliday movie special ?… Ok then. Lets not go there. Lets just hope for a good family sci-fi movie. And leave out all the controversy….
Ok. Finn and Poe wearing the same jacket.
Now my head will explode trying not to figure out what does it mean. Jesus… Indirect spoilers are so bad…
Good stuff!
these out in stores yet?
I’m sorry but that topps logo is deliberately conceiling the top of rey staff, on what is a hole for a lightsaber, also rey and chewbacca piloting the falcon together just looks right
I definitely agree with you about Chewbacca and Rey Finn piloting the Falcon. Looks bad ass. So excited for this film.
Ok, so by examining these pics of Rey she is most definitely looking like a product of Shmi Skywalker… Google Shmi Skywalker and compare the images to the ones shown here… misdirection or Miss Skywalker??? (With a dose of Sand People thrown in the Tatooine connection grows stronger)
She sort of looks like Keira Knightly as well which is a good match seeing as how they both sort of played her Grandma.
Yeh she definitely looks like she could be a relative of shmi skywalker
Love the throwback look
Painted collages are from StarWarsCardTrader app and character cards are from Attax, the Eau game from Topps. May be overlap between a Topps releases, but this is known.
