What's Buzz-worthy: This wave is packed with names known beyond Star Wars and the biggest name I wanted to find was here -- but not without some drama for me as it took until my last of four packs for a Koska Reeves (formerly known as WWE's Sasha Banks) card to arrive. Just 11,097 packs of this one were made -- the lowest of four waves for this one last year -- and it also includes Rosario Dawson, Thandiwe Newton, Terence Stamp, Timothy Olyphant, Emilia Clarke and Natalie Portman in their Star Wars roles. Most of them I landed here and making this break a little stronger were an Orange (one in five packs) and a Yellow (one in 15) parallel. There are eight parallels per card along with some other chases here, including ink, and these are more interesting than their baseball counterparts that use color on the fronts (a nod to the 1977 Topps set). I'll offer more thoughts with my next two-pack break of this one.

Product Grade: A-
Lot Grade: A (landed name I wanted, other notables and some slightly rarer parallels)
Fun Grade: B (small with two inserts per ... but the checklist is deep)
