The end. 2020 Topps Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker Series 2 doesn’t mean the conclusion of a 40-plus year run for trading cards. However, the set does close out the story of what’s being dubbed as the final Skywalker film.


And it’s the story that’s a major focal point for this release. With Series 1 releasing alongside the movie, it doesn’t have all the plot points and story details. Series 2 covers it all.









Hobby boxes come with an autograph plus a second hit that could be a second signature, sketch card, memorabilia card or medallion.

2020 Topps Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker Series 2 Base Set Basics


The base set has 100 cards, recreating The Rise of Skywalker for the medium of trading cards. It’s the full story, with full spoilers and key action points and revelations.


Parallels, which land at least one per hobby pack, come in several colors: Blue, Purple (1:4 packs), Red (/199), Bronze (/50), Silver (/25), Gold (/10), Printing Plates (1/1) and Black (1/1).

Autographs and Inserts


Autographs come from the film’s actors.









Parallels include Red (/99), Silver (/25), Gold (/10), Printing Plates (1/1) and Black (1/1).









Multi-signature cards are available with two, three and six signers.









As for memorabilia, costume relics return. In previous sets, these have usually used material from the production versus screen-worn swatches. Parallels include Silver (/25), Gold (/10) and Black (1/1).


Millenium Falcon Relic Cards do have screen-used prop pieces. Silver (/15), Gold (/4) and Black (1/1) are the parallels here.

As always, sketch cards feature original artwork done on the card itself. In addition to traditional sketch cards, there are also Shaped versions.
