2010 Topps Star Wars Galaxy Series 5 #8 You Can’t Win Darth Obi-Wan Vader Hodges

Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader cross lightsabers in “You Can’t Win, Darth,” a “New Visions” card from 2010 Topps Star Wars Galaxy Series 5. Tom Hodges captures their final duel on the Death Star in a bold, comic-style close-up, with Vader’s red blade and Obi-Wan’s blue blade glowing between the two old rivals as the hooded Jedi Master locks eyes with his former apprentice. On the back, alongside Hodges’ black and white line art, he explains that this Death Star meeting is where all the questions begin, and how it made fans wonder how a bond as strong as blood brothers turned into a hatred that kept one alive as a machine and led the other to sacrifice himself to teach the other’s son. Hodges was the lead artist on The Clone Wars web comic for starwars.com.
