*On the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, Topps celebrates this momentous occasion with this exclusive trading card featuring all new artwork by the talented Grant Gould. The artist says: "The Empire Strikes Back has always been my favorite of the Star Wars films. I have strong memories of seeing it opening day in the theater with my dad, and I remember the long discussions afterwards as to whether or not Darth Vader was really Luke's father. The Empire Strikes Back is when things go to the next level - Luke begins to transform from wide-eyed farmboy to Jedi Knight, Han and Leia go from bickering to smooching, and the bad guys win! As a kid, I had never experienced anything like it, and it remains one of the defining movies of my lifetime." *Source: Back of card
