Card #047: Wedge Antilles
Again, the transition from production art to finished product is pretty amazing.

Card #046: The Emperor Strikes Back
McQuarrie's Nosferatu-esque Emperor is cool, but I think it works better to have him just be a (mostly) regular old man.

Card #045: The Speeder Bike Chase
We were so close to Space Vespas decades earlier!

Card #044: Luke Skywalker's Confrontation
All things considered, the final scene from the film matches this production art pretty closely!

Card #043: The Max Rebo band
DYK: "Lapti Nek", the OG Jabba's Palace song, was written by Joseph Williams, son of composer John Williams & vocalist for Toto (but NOT during the "Africa" years)?

Card #042: Ralph McQuarrie
Over the years, the McQuarrie production art has become somewhat ubiquitous; that was probably less the case in '93 but pairing it w/the filmed scene is clever.

Card #041: Leia As A Pin-Up
I appreciate that the cardback text acknowledges how largely sex-less the Star Wars universe is.

Card #040: Ewoks
This seems like a canonical admission that the Ewoks were going to eat the Rebels.

Card #039: Princess Leia's Hair
I still want to know which Ewok knows how to braid. My money is on Logray.

Card #038: Creature Collaboration
A more primate-like Rancor would have been fun. Seems more classic sci-fi, for some reason.

Card #037: Bib Fortuna
Def wish we'd gotten some lekku waving in Jedi.

Card #036:Gamorrean Guards
Both are very pig-like, but there's something about the initial design on the cardfront that is very dark fantasy in a way the final product isn't.

Card #035: Jabba's Menagerie
The denizens of Jabba's palace get unfairly maligned by too many RotJ haters. There's some great designs in there.

Card #034: The Rancor
I like the kind of frog waddle on the cardfront design.
Also, the Rancor was a Good Boy pressed into evil acts by its cruel master.

Card #033: Bad Hair Day?
Important to note these cards were out well before the Special Edition inserted Jabba into A New Hope.
The Jabba on the back has big "Pizza the Hut" vibes.

Card #032: Yoda As Gremlin
Those feet still creep me out, but I continue to dig puck-ish Yoda in his various forms.

Card #031: Lando Calrissian
Love the swagger-y cocked hip with the guard disguise look. Jabba's Palace could have used a little more himbo action.

Card #030: Original Sketches
The way these cards are just titled based on the first words of the cardback text is weird.
Also weird? Han without a vest or jacket.

Card #028: Costume Design
Damn, dig that deep V-neck!
I also like the texture on the shoulders.

Card #027: Jabba the Hutt
I don't love the Orientalism being tapped into here, but the bulging belly and Twi'lek-esque head tails are a nice touch.
