Star Wars became a worldwide phenomenon the moment it exploded into theaters on May 25, 1977. That same year, Lucasfilm teamed with the Topps Company, Inc. to create the very first tie-in collectibles-a series of trading cards and stickers that have since become iconic. The cards and stickers were so popular that Topps released trading card sets to coincide with The Empire Strikes Back in 1980 and Return of the Jedi in 1983. In 2015, Topps released a set of 18 stickers as part of the Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens promotion, which features a mix of classic characters from the original films, as well as new characters from The Force Awakens in the vintage style of the original stickers. Star Wars Topps Classic Sticker Book is the first sticker book to collect a selection of these iconic stickers-many of which are reproduced in their original size-making this the perfect memento for fans of all ages to enjoy.
