For anyone who grew up with the original Star Wars trading cards, this new app available on Apple’s App Store right now, will be a blast from the past. Topps has just released the Star Wars: Card Trader app which chronicles the classic Star Wars card archives from all the way back to 1977. It also has some brand new Force Awakens cards.
It is also built for trading, so you can tell everyone what cards you’re looking for, start trades, and even negotiate new terms in your trade. It also have animations that let you know when you have found a rare card. Topps really did a fine job with this app. You can download the app here.

More and more information is leaking out about the new Star Wars film (Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens), with trading cars revealing names of the characters from the trailers causing all the stir this time.
When the original SW film came out in 1977, Topps released a series of cards featuring scenes and characters from the film (IV: A New Hope) and it seems J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy, the president of LucasFilm are taking the retro approach to their latest tease about the new characters.
Kylo Ren is probably going to be Adam Driver’s character, and his Lightsaber has been the most talked about thing on the Internet for the last couple of weeks.
This lovely lady on a speeder will be portrayed by Daisy Ridley, who had a few scenes in the ‘Inbetweeners 2′ film that were cut from the theatrical release.
Seems like the R2-D2 of the next film.
This banged up X-Wing pilot will be portrayed by the fantastic Oscar Isaac.
Portrayed by John Boyega, all we know about Finn is that he’s in a stormtrooper uniform and he seems to be in quite a hurry.
For all of the fuss on the new Crossguard Lightsaber, check out these hilarious takes on the most controversial addition to the new trilogy.
