With seven main films, dozens of comics and novels (canon or not), specials, TV spin-offs and more, there’s been plenty of change in a certain galaxy that’s far, far away. 2016 Topps Star Wars Evolution marks the return of the brand that debuted in 2001 to showcase changes from the original films into the prequel world. Now that a new trilogy has come along, the stories, and the evolution, continues.
This may be the third Star Wars Evolution set but it comes with a new design and configuration that differentiates it from the first two.
Hobby boxes come with two premium inserts, which include autographs, sketch cards and manufactured patch cards.
Base Set
The 2016 Topps Star Wars Evolution base set consists of 100 cards. It’s a character-based focus showing how they grown and changed. Perhaps the cards will unlock the secret as to how Chewbacca hasn’t aged much in nearly 40 years.
Parallels found in hobby packs come in four colors: Blue Lightsaber (1:2 packs), Purple Lightsaber (1:12), Gold (/100) and Imperial Red (1/1).
Select base cards have variations as well.
Inserts
Three basic insert sets look at how other elements of the Star Wars universe other than characters have evolved over time.
Evolution of Vehicles and Ships and Evolution of the Lightsaber look at tech. Evolution of Star Wars Comics tackle the transformation of the line over the past three-plus decades.
Stained Glass Pairings showcase connections between characters with a colorful background.
Hits and Premium Inserts
When 2001 Star Wars Evolution arrived, it was the first set for the franchise to include actor autographs. They’ve become a staple over the years, which carries over to here. The 2016 Topps Star Wars Evolution checklist has more than 50 signers. Signatures are done using stickers. Parallels come in Purple (/25), Gold (/10), Printing Plates and one-of-one Imperial Red.
In addition to basic autographs, there are also rare cards with two and three signatures.
Sketch cards all come with original art and a character focus.
Patch cards highlight the various factions seen in the films: The Rebel Alliance, Empire, Galactic Republic, Separtists, Jedi Council, Rebels Resistance and the First Order. Each faction is represented with a different patch and various characters. Every faction also has one character that’s featured on an autographed patch card.
