I am a big fan of the Star Wars movies going back to my childhood when I saw Return of the Jedi six times in one week. I haven’t traditionally been a big fan of video games based on the Star Wars films myself, but there are lots of hard core Star Wars Galaxies fans out there.

LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment announced today that in celebration of the 5th anniversary of Star Wars Galaxies a new trading card game is being introduced. The Star Wars Trading Card Game Champions of the Force is the first ever Star Wars trading card game offered exclusively online. That appears to mean the cards are all digital.
