The tradition of presenting diverse artist interpretations of the Star Wars universe continues in fine form as Topps releases all-new Star Wars Galaxy IV series, now available. As part of the series, official Star Wars artists show their talents in one-of-a-kind sketch cards depicting characters from the saga as well as the new TV series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Here's a look at some of the new cards completed by Star Wars artist Jessica Hickman.

"It's been a long time since a Star Wars Galaxy card set has been out," Hickman says. "I think it's way overdue and the quality of the sketch cards are just incredible. There is such a variety of styles and medium in this set. Any collector or Star Wars fan out there is sure to find a sketch card that they like -- same goes for the base cards too."

Out of all the characters Hickman draws, the strong female characters are her favorite. "I think Luminara is my favorite," Hickman says. "I'm a fan of her design, particularly from The Clone Wars TV show. She was the last card I did and I liked the way the markers blended together -- plus her blue eyes seem to really pop. Princess Leia is my another one of my favorites hands. She's such a great character -- heroic, complex, feminine, she's got it all. Not bad for a princess."

Star Wars Galaxy IV are already available primarily in hobby and comic shops.
