A Strong Forceful Post

I'll admit that I don't exactly care for a lot of Topps' Star Wars offerings. Most of them are centered on the original trilogy, the prequel trilogy and the current ongoing trilogy. That's good and all but that's not exactly what I'm looking for.

But this. This is exactly what I'm looking for. Kanan Jarrus is one of the main characters in Star Wars Rebels (the animated cartoon that takes place between Episode 3 and Episode 4, roughly a decade after the events in Episode 3). He's tied for my favorite Star Wars character ever with Captain Rex. And obviously I just had to get his cards.

And yes I said cards, as in plural. These Kanans come from 2016 Topps Star Wars Evolution. In person these cards are pretty shiny. I understand that there are parallels (because of course there are) but I just picked up these base cards for fairly cheap.

Kanan even had a manu-relic. A commemorative flag patch. I'll be honest, I'm impressed and I like this card. I can like manu-relics when it's impossible to create legitimate relics in the first place.

Kanan even had this insert in the Lightsaber Evolution subset. It primarily describes how Kanan has kept himself hidden and how he keeps his lightsaber split into two pieces so he's not easily identified as a Jedi.

With this last Kanan insert I actually took advantage of a combined shipping deal and got some other cool Star Wars stuff.

Like this Attax card of my other favorite Star Wars character ever, Captain Rex. This is really cool because he doesn't have his helmet on. This is also an earlier version of Rex as the helmet he's got is his phase I helmet, and looks relatively clean (it becomes riddled with tally marks later).

For the record, Rex has two cards in Star Wars evolutions. A manu-relic numbered to 50 that is overpriced on eBay, and an autograph card signed by Rex's voice actor Bradley Dee Baker (who is one of the coolest mofos ever for the record). I'll obtain them eventually but for now, this Attax will do. I'm always game for Attax cards of cool clones.

Anyway those were my latest Star Wars pickups.

As always thanks for stopping by and take care :).
