Just got the first batch of my sketch cards for SWI:TESB approved by Topps to share. I've completed 22 panoramic sketch cards so far. Here are a few. All of mine will be in color:

Nice Cards man. I haven't even put pencil to paper yet.

Thanks! I had to start right away on these, or I never would have been able to do them all in color.

Loving the space scenes in particular, though the AT-AT close up is also jumping out at me.

Series 1 just promised 1 hit per box right? And the film cels were much more prevalent I believe.
This will be 2 hits per box and more other hits at about the same price.
I just picked up a case at the low price of $800, so to me it is certainly worth what I paid for it.

Artist Dan Curto posted a picture of a pile of sketchagraph blanks on Facebook with the cards signed. The visible signatures were:

- Billie Dee Williams
- Jay Sanders - Credited as Imperial Pilot in the radio drama
- Paul Hecht - Credited as The Emperor in the radio drama

There were at least 2 other distinct signatures but not enough of the card was showing to tell who they were.

Looks to me like Hamill won't be on the sketchagraph list this time. Should be interesting to see how it breaks. Key is hoping not too many film cells, which basically ruined the last illustrated release.

Really like the sketches above by the two artists. Nice work.

Per GTS, release date has been changed to 4/29.
