Topps cards may have revealed the plot outline a little early to Episode VIII The Last Jedi today with their checklist to the new movie card set.
Episode VIII: The Last Jedi is due to hit theaters December 15th. Topps is going to be releasing their new collectors set for the movie, but problem is… the names of the cards might just give away the plot outline a bit.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
First off take a look at the checklist for The Force Awakens from 2015:
71 Invasion of the First Order
72 Poe’s Interrogation
73 Fast Friends
74 Rey, the desert scavenger
75 Escaping Jakku
76 Kylo Ren’s Rage
77 An Unexpected Encounter
78 Off to Takodana
79 Outside Maz’s Castle
80 Maz’s band plays on!
81 The First Order Rallies!
82 Finn Steps Up
83 Rey alone!
84 The Resistance Takes Flight
85 Formulating the Plan
86 Infiltrating Starkiller Base
87 Reunion with Rey
88 Dueling the Dark Side
89 Rey’s Victory
90 Meeting Luke Skywalker
Notice anything familiar to the format of the Force Awakens Checklist? That is pretty much the whole plot outline for the movie
Here’s the list of cards for The Last Jedi courtesy of Topps.
The list of the cards celebrating The Last Jedi is as follows:
91 Rey’s Solitude
92 General Leia Organa
93 Rey and her Lightsaber
94 On Crait
95 Rushing to Attack
96 Finn’s Recovery
97 Poe Responds
98 The Fury of Kylo Ren
99 Shards of the Past
100 Luke’s Grim Perspective
101 Ski Speeder Assault
102 Walkers Incoming
103 The Resistance
104 The Resistance X-wing
105 The Resistance A-wing
106 The Battle Commences
107 Frigates Under Fire
108 The Resistance Vs. The First Order
109 The Millennium Falcon Flees
110 Heroes United
Topps is usually pretty accurate with the chronological ordering of their cards and naming the cards after events from the movies. If the same is true for the new set for The Last Jedi then it looks like we’ll be seeing an interesting chain of events.
The fight On Crait will be taking place at the beginning of the movie, followed by a series of scenes with the main Characters from The Force Awakes, then what looks to be another fight scene with speeders and walkers, and lastly the heroes coming together for another battle at the end of the movie.
This is all speculation and shouldn’t be taken as 100% factual, but from what we know about Topps these events have a good possibility of shaping up in the new movie.
What do you think about the new card list from Topps? Is there something to this card theory? We’d like to think so, but would much rather hear what you have to say.
