    I've been immersed in all things Star Wars for 38 years now, and yet to this day I am still surprised by some new aspect or piece of artwork.

    I've never seen these. I love the Jawa painting!

    Yeah, it's great isn't it? :)

    I just realized something, when I took a look at it again just now:
    The little Jawa child on the floor, in the foreground...
    Brings a whole new meaning to "Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow..." (jawa)

    The images here I got from a google search.
    I remember a friend here receiving them in the mail, (so I've held a couple of these cards in my hand!*).
    That would have been in the early 80s.
