Description
This Kevin Nowlan painting titled "A Child of Destiny" was originally commissioned by Topps for their Star Wars Galaxy trading card series back in the mid 1990's. It was most likely intended for the Star Wars Galaxy III series (1995). After more than a decade later in 2009, Topps brought SW Galaxy back with series IV and this art became part of the "Lost Galaxy" subset featuring artworks that were previously rejected by Lucasfilm for various reasons.

Here's Nowlan's quote from his website post dated July 31, 2009 about this art: "The card was published recently, years after it was rejected for content. I picked it from a list of subjects supplied by Topps and (I would assume) approved by Lucasfilm. But after I did the painting, they rejected it because Lucas was about to start the new movies and didn't want anyone dealing with material that he was going to cover in the prequels. Glad they finally changed their minds."
