Oola from 2016 Topps Star Wars Rogue One: Mission Briefing

I tried to get my post about the 2018 BBM True Heart wrestling cards ready today, but I was only able to get through processing all of the photos and loading them into a draft. I still have to write the words for the post, and that involves a lot of research to get through. I may have overdone things a bit this time, as I think there were around 140 photos in total.

In the meantime, here is another older post from my stockpile of drafts. This time I've got an autograph from a Star Wars set that is a couple of years old.


The autograph here is Femi Taylor, who starred as Twi'lek dancer Oola in Jabba's Palace in Return of the Jedi. Her character was originally supposed to play a larger role in the film, but due to funding she was instead dropped into the Rancor pit and eaten. The set is 2016 Topps Star Wars Rogue One: Mission Briefing, one of the many faux-retro sets put out by Topps for the recent Star Wars movies. My copy is apparently the Death Star parallel, although I didn't collect enough of this product to know what makes it different from the regular one aside from the serial number. It's kind of tough to see, but this one is numbered # 50 / 50 on the back. This is a fun autograph from one of the more memorable minor characters in the Star Wars universe.

  1. Her short term fame gives her lifetime memerbship to all the Comic Cons though. Cool cards.
