1977 Topps Star Wars Series 2 was a trading card set released by Topps in 1977.[1]
The set was based on Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and featured stills from the film, promotional photos and behind the scenes photos, all within a red border. Backs of the cards featured "Actor's Profile" or "Movie Facts" themes, or included a portion of a larger image that could be pieced together with other cards like a puzzle. A sub-set of sticker cards was included.[1]
Card numbering in the set continued from the previous series. Three more series of the set followed.[1]
