AustinGortonCard #140: Checklist
Ooh, checklist! Really underscores how oddly named many of the cards in this set are.
Card #139: Bruce Zick
These aliens look way more trippy and messed up than the cantina aliens in the movie, and I am here for it. Momaw Nadon is clearly having a great time rocking out to that jizz!
Card #138: Thomas Wm Yeats II
I have no idea what the image on the card is supposed to represent (beyond a shared "space fantasy" vibe), but the green shirt, brown pants & atypical setting make me think of Uli Qel-Droma.
Card #137: Al Williamson (B)
The way Williamson draws the Snowtrooper armor is great; love the way it seems modular and kit-bashed.

Card #136: Al Williamson (A)
I don't know how the editors of this set decided which artists got two cards but Williamson absolutely deserved to be one of them.
Pictured: the New Hope dewbacks' cooler, fitter older brother.
Card #135: Russell Walks
It's more pronounced in Return of the Jedi, but I love Chewie's little scraggly mustache so much.

Card #134: Charles Vess
Vess giving us a more serene training moment than Yoda's usual "heavy calisthenics while wearing me in a backpack" approach.

Card #133: John Van Fleet
Good little scene, great sense of movement & place. Busy, but not muddy, and grittier than a lot of the other cards.
Card #132: Jim Valentino
The Emperor as a grandpa? That would never happen! ๐
The yellow eyes, teeth and nails are a nice touch, giving the image subtle pop of color.

Card #131: Angelo Torres
One of the few cards in this subset to seemingly try and recreate a specific image/scene from one of the movies.
