2010 Topps Star Wars Galaxy Series 5 #22 Loose Lips Propaganda Chris Chiang
Darth Vader’s black-gloved hand clamps over the mouth of a wide-eyed Imperial officer clutching a bundle of technical plans in “Loose Lips,” a “New Visions” card from 2010 Topps Star Wars Galaxy Series 5. Artist Chris Chiang styles the piece as a World War II era propaganda poster, riffing on the classic “Loose Lips Sink Ships” slogan with a warning that loose lips bring down starships, all in bold retro lettering on a weathered orange background. On the back, alongside his original pencil sketch, Chiang writes in character as a loyal Imperial citizen, claiming he finished the poster nearly a year before the Battle of Yavin and never imagined how prophetic it would turn out to be.
