It consists of several promo cards (see Topps promo cards), 140 common cards (eight per pack), 6 foil-etched "chase" cards (one in every 18 packs), and one blue autographed-artwork redemption card (one per case). The number on each card appears on the reverse, in a Darth Vader silhouette. There is one wrapper.

Series Two was released in 1994-05 after a few delays from the originally announced release date. It consists of many promo cards (see Topps promo cards), 135 common cards (eight per pack), 6 foil-etched "chase" cards (one in every 18 packs), and one pink autographed-artwork redemption card (one per case) [photo] . The number on each card appears on the reverse, in an R2-D2 silhouette. There are three wrappers (album offer, book offer, and uncut sheet contest).

Series Three was released in 1995-11. It consists of many promo cards (see Topps promo cards), 90 common cards (seven per pack), 90 "first day" cards (one in every pack), 6 foil-etched "chase" cards (one in every 12 packs), 6 clearzone chromium "Agents of the Empire" cards featuring bounty hunter artwork by Image Comics artists (one in every 18 packs), 12 foil-stamped video game chase cards (one in every pack), and 90 first-day-of-issue cards (one in every pack).

The six series one foil cards, when arranged in 2 rows of 3 cards each, form a continuous panorama. The fronts of the cards form a panorama of the major characters with various vehicles in the background. The reverses of the cards form a panorama of TIE and X-Wing fighters.

Each card in the Series 1 "New Visions" subset presents a unique view of the SW universe from the eyes of an established comics artist, and includes a self-portrait or photo and a brief biography of the artist on the back.
