Carlos Cabaleiro has had a rollercoaster relationship with Star Wars throughout his life.
As a kid, Cabaleiro loved the original trilogy. However, when he became an adult, he lost interest. When The Force Awakens was released in 2015, it reopened his eyes to the importance of George Lucas’ mega-franchise. Cabaleiro’s fascination returned in large part because he became an integral member in creating cards for Topps’ The Force Awakens set.
