What's Buzz-worthy: I was impressed with a number of the art pieces found on cards here before I started pulling multiple Refractors per pack and before I landed a Superfractor -- that one just launched it into safe A+ box territory. That card? One in 17,860 packs -- or one in 993 boxes ... or one in 83 cases -- isn't a bad find at all even if it's not the flashiest of vintage art. A number of the visuals here are nice though I know not all fans will like all art styles here (I don't) but it's a solid collection taking one through the various eras of the franchise. The volume of Refractors is nice here and there's an autograph in every box -- actor autos not artist autos like some past Galaxy releases -- to help things out, too. This is a box I'd definitely buy again if the price doesn't keep rising -- it's simple and has some good potential -- and there are a lot of cards here that would look good in a slab, too. Is it dramatically different than other sets? Probably not but there's enough here that it's comfortable -- and check out the autos list ... there are some big names to be found. Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Daisy Ridley, Kenny Baker, Peter Mayhew, Adam Driver, Samuel L. Jackson, Carl Weathers, Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen and others are all in there with muli-person autos also in the mix. I'm sure they are tougher to land but they are a draw.
