🚀 Card Spotlight: Rescue at Bespin
📌 Topps Star Wars Galaxy Series 6 – Card #88
🎨 Art by Drew Struzan & Koizumi Kazuki Productions
One of the most emotionally charged escapes in Star Wars history, immortalized in stunning detail on Card #88 from Topps Star Wars Galaxy Series 6. This piece captures the exact moment the Millennium Falcon bolts from Cloud City. Smoke, speed, and the full weight of the story trailing behind it.
Han is gone. Luke is reeling from Vader’s truth bomb. The Falcon’s hyperdrive has failed (again). TIE Fighters are closing in. But in true Star Wars fashion, R2-D2 pulls through, the hyperdrive kicks in, and boom—lightspeed escape. This card doesn’t just show that scene, it feels like it.
That’s thanks to legendary poster artist Drew Struzan (yep, the genius behind many official Star Wars and Indiana Jones posters) collaborating with Koizumi Kazuki Productions. Together, they deliver art that merges cinematic realism with painterly drama.
