Panini/Skybox - US - Star Wars Stickers and Album (1997)

In the U.S., most people were able to buy Panini albums complete with the stickers included as insert sheets inside the album. Distributed by Skybox here in the U.S., the albums were different from their European counterparts, and contained only 66 stickers. In addition to being sold as a complete unit, the albums were also sold separately from the stickers, with the stickers sold in small packets. This gives American collectors two variations of the Panini album to find. Stickers in the loose set are identical to those that come with the complete album, with the exception that the printing on the back of loose stickers had black printing on them, while stickers that came with the album had blue printing on the back.

The album's are also slightly different, with one having a starburst-styled announcement that the stickers are included, while the other does not.

The American stickers show different images from the European stickers, and are a different design. Each sticker has a white border, and an inside blue border which is a lightsaber blade.
