Back in 1997 Star Wars celebrated its 20th Anniversary. Creator George Lucas and his company had managed to keep Star Wars in the public’s eyes all those years through the clever use of merchandise and promotion.
The children of the first generation of Star Wars fans had discovered the movie original trilogy and Star Wars was enjoying a new genesis.
Lucas would soon be releasing ‘special editions’ of all three original movies in theaters complete with new computer generated creatures and effects and extra scenes.
Topps Publishing commemorated Star Wars 20th Anniversary with an Official 20th Anniversary Commemorative Magazine.
Included in the photo-filled magazine were cast and character profiles, a retrospective on the trilogy, the how to of special effects, the upcoming reboots and what to expect, tributes, a history of the making of the film and much more.
For Star Wars fans the magazine offered one of the most complete examinations of the films outside of full-fledge book publications.
The Vader cover came in two editions: a plain cover and a gold embossed cover.
