The Business Cards of Star Wars Characters

[slideshow id=287]

I like to think that all young girls thinking of spending their lives in politics on Alderaan took insult courses. I know on the one hand, this makes Leia less special, but on the other it posits an entire generation of ladies who are unafraid to tell enemy generals that they have an overwhelming stench and who know that “scruffy looking” is far wars than being a “nerfherder.”

According to Etsy seller frommntoyou, who is selling, one each of these cards, they were given to her by her sister when she was little, and she’s only rediscovered them now. No way to tell if these are simply curios somebody made once or an actual Star Wars product tie in. The fact that none of these cards reference any events outside Star Wars: A New Hope would imply that they were made before the second two movies, and with all the weird Star Wars merchandise that was made in that period, it’s not that implausible that these would be some kind of official.

Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
