Power of the Force 6-Card Cromalin Sheet
The Power of the Force uncut sheet shown above contains six cromalins; four produced and two unproduced characters. Boba Fett, arguably the marquee cromalin found on this particular sheet, and Ree-Yees represent the two unproduced characters for the POTF line. Fellow editor Ron Salvatore would undoubtedly argue that Ree-Yees is *clearly* the most stunning character shown above, but Ron is not writing this description, so viewers won't be subjected to his "three-eyed character" bias. The inclusion of Anakin Skywalker adds additional appeal and if you're into Ewoks-- well, two of them (Warok and Romba) are present! The final character, Barada, rounds out the impressive character group.

It's quite likely this uncut sheet of POTF cromalins represents the last remaining uncut sheet. The vast majority were cleaved over time and sold as individual cromalins. Although unfortunate, it's difficult to locate a buyer with the desire and financial means to purchase an entire sheet compared to more easily finding six individual buyers to split a sheet up. Thankfully this sheet remains intact and is well cared for, as evidenced by the frame, by Ara Kelekian.
