What's buzz-worthy: Topps' high-end Star Wars brand arrives once again, packing a hit in every box and stars from throughout the galaxy on both film and television.

Keep reading for more and a full gallery of images.

The Basics: Each box will once again include four five-card packs (a mini box) with two including an autograph every time and one of those will have on-card ink. A third pack will include a sketch card, printing plate or a third auto. The final pack will include a Relic or another auto.

For the base cards, it's again a 100-card set with 72-point stock used. Parallels will include Blue (one per pack), Green (/99), Purple (/50), Red (/25), Orange (/10), Black (/5) and 1/1 Gold as well as printing plates just like last time. ... There also will be four insert sets with Behind The New Scenes, Journey Of Ahsoka Tano, The Grand Admiral and Marvel Comic Covers. Insert parallels will include Rainbow Foil (/299), Canvas (/25), Wood (/10), Metal (/5) and 1/1 Gold Metal parallels as well as printing plates -- the same lineup as previous year -- but with the Admiral cards not having the two Metal parallels. Three new chases -- "short prints" per Topps -- are Force Spirits acetate cards, metal Artoo-Detoo cards (focusing on R2-D2) and See-Threepio (focusing on C-3PO) cards with the appropriate color schemes to match the droids.

Autographs this time will include actors from the prequels, the original trilogy and the newer TV series. Among names dropped there were Samuel L. Jackson, Billy Dee Williams and Pedro Pascal. There will be standard autos with their parallels including Blue (/99), Rainbow Foil (/50), Canvas (/25), Wood (/10), Silver Framed (/5) and 1/1 Gold Framed and autographed printing plates. There also will be dual, triple and quad autos in this one. Parallels will include Wood (/10), Black (/5) and 1/1 Gold versions. Quads will have 1/1 Golds. Also in play will be 1/1 Pen Autograph Relics which include the tops of pens from past signings. There also will be "super rare" autographed variations of some Relics.

Also in this one will be sketch cards and two types of Relics -- Stormtrooper Armor from The Force Awakens and Rise Of The Resistance Control Panel cards. Relics will include Green (/99 Resistance only) and Purple (/50), Red (/25), Orange (/10), Black (/5) and 1/1 Gold parallels for both sets.
