THIS FOUR COIN SET INCLUDES:
Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia
Princess Leia, supported by Luke Skywalker, secretly leads the struggling Rebellion in their mission to overthrow the Galactic Empire. During the Battle of Endor, the Princess discovers Luke to be her twin brother, separated at birth to protect them from their father, the villainous Darth Vader. Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi had placed them in hiding because he knew that if Vader’s offspring were allowed to realize their latent Force abilities, they would be the only hope in returning peace and order to the galaxy. Through this realized potential and strong resolve, Leia helps the Rebellion succeed in bringing the Empire’s tyranny to an end.
Han Solo and Chewbacca
A former smuggler and space pirate, Han Solo is the rugged, devil-may-care captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewbacca is first mate and co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon, and together they make a formidable team. The mighty Chewbacca communicates in a series of growls, grunts, and fierce roars, and Han is one of the few who understands the Wookiee’s native language.
Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi
In the days of the Old Republic, Jedi Master Yoda was the most wise and powerful of all Jedi. Diminutive and unassuming, Yoda had no equals in his keen insight into the Force, or in his agile skill with a lightsaber. For over 800 years, Yoda instructed young Jedi and instilled in them a profound sense of discipline, strength, and unity. Obi-Wan Kenobi was once one of those young Jedi Knights instructed by Yoda. After the fall of the Jedi, Obi-Wan retreated to the isolated Jundland Wastes on the desert planet Tatooine.
R2-D2 and C-3PO
The ever-faithful droids of the Rebel Alliance, R2-D2 and C-3PO make a remarkably capable team. R2-D2 is a feisty astromech droid of surprising determination and resourcefulness. C-3PO is fluent in over six million forms of communication, and is an essential companion to his master Luke Skywalker and to the Rebel Alliance.
