UPDATE: We’ve heard back from Topps and its great news for Star Wars fans! Here’s what they had to say – “The cards in this set for The Last Jedi are NOT in chronological order. In addition, the images that are used on the cards are screen grabs from the trailer. There are no spoilers in this set for Star Wars fans.”

Original Story: This week’s Force Friday II event marks the debut of a variety of different merchandising products to celebrate the release of The Last Jedi. While these items often only offer vague hints at what to expect from the upcoming film, Topps uploaded a list of cards to their website that they’ll be releasing for the movie, which might outline the course of events of the film, as pointed out by Star Wars News Net.
***WARNING: Potential spoilers for The Last Jedi below***
The list of the cards celebrating The Last Jedi is as follows:
91 Rey’s Solitude
92 General Leia Organa
93 Rey and her Lightsaber
94 On Crait
95 Rushing to Attack
96 Finn’s Recovery
97 Poe Responds
98 The Fury of Kylo Ren
99 Shards of the Past
100 Luke’s Grim Perspective
101 Ski Speeder Assault
102 Walkers Incoming
103 The Resistance
104 The Resistance X-wing
105 The Resistance A-wing
106 The Battle Commences
107 Frigates Under Fire
108 The Resistance Vs. The First Order
109 The Millennium Falcon Flees
110 Heroes United
While the titles of these cards and their corresponding number could be seemingly dismissed as completely arbitrary, knowing what we do of the upcoming film and the titles of cards celebrating The Force Awakens seem to show an interesting correlation.
The cards for The Force Awakens are as follows:
71 Invasion of the First Order
72 Poe’s Interrogation
73 Fast Friends
74 Rey, the desert scavenger
75 Escaping Jakku
76 Kylo Ren’s Rage
77 An Unexpected Encounter
78 Off to Takodana
79 Outside Maz’s Castle
80 Maz’s band plays on!
81 The First Order Rallies!
82 Finn Steps Up
83 Rey alone!
84 The Resistance Takes Flight
85 Formulating the Plan
86 Infiltrating Starkiller Base
87 Reunion with Rey
88 Dueling the Dark Side
89 Rey’s Victory
90 Meeting Luke Skywalker
For those familiar with The Force Awakens, you can see how the cards are organized chronologically, which makes one assume the same would be true of The Last Jedi cards.
While there isn’t much new information about the movie released that we hadn’t already expected, the implication is that the battle on Crait would happen earlier in the film, followed by a focus of Rey and her training on Ahch-To.
Cards revolving around speeders, walkers, and spaceships make it sound as though the film will end with some huge action scenes and, importantly, the “Heroes Reunited” card at the end.
We’ll find out just how much of the plot these cards revealed when The Last Jedi lands in theaters December 15.
