Star Wars remains one of the most recognizable sci-fi worlds ever put on screen. The Original Trilogy first reached audiences between 1977 and 1983, and when the prequel era began in the 2000s, those earlier films were rebranded as Episodes IV through VI. Even with new stories added over time, many fans still look to the Original Trilogy as the foundation of the franchise. To celebrate those classic movies, the New Zealand Mint has issued colorized silver foils featuring poster-style artwork. Now, 2025 1 oz Proof Colorized Niue Silver Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back Foils are available at BGASC.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2025 Proof Colorized Niue Silver Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back Foils shows the Public Seal of Niue. It is paired with the inscription May the force be with you, a well-known phrase that captures the hopeful side of the saga.

Reverse

On the reverse of 2025 1 oz Proof Colorized Silver Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back Foils, youll find Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, and star ships from the Galactic Empire. The film also introduced striking settings like the icy plains of Hoth, the foggy swamps of Dagobah, and the floating skyline of Cloud City, all of which helped make the story feel bigger and more grounded.

History

The Empire Strikes Back premiered in 1980 and quickly earned a reputation for pushing the series into deeper, more dramatic territory. Directed by Irvin Kershner, the film challenges its main characters with tough losses and shocking turns that reshape the Rebellions fight. The unexpected revelation involving Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker stands out as one of the most famous plot twists in modern cinema.
