French ESB Sticker Album
The first Star Wars related stickers collectors' album was released in France in 1980 with the Empire Strikes Back. Although Panini was already popular in license-related stickers albums, the license was purchased by French company A.G.E (Agence Generale d'Editions).

The full album contains 255 small-size stickers from the movie and a dozen from Ralph McQuarrie preproduction paintings, on 22 pages. Each sticker was illustrated by a short text, some on a ridiculous tone.

The collector's album was also included for free with some youth publications or possibly in-store giveaways, and was stamped with a "GRATUIT" (Free) mention.
