The Star Wars cinematic universe has been a favorite in science fiction for decades. The Original Trilogy hit theaters in the late 1970s and early 1980s and later became Episodes IV through VI when the prequels arrived in the 2000s.

The Empire Strikes Back debuted in 1980 and is often named a standout entry in the Star Wars lineup. Directed by Irvin Kershner, the movie shifts to a darker storyline as the Rebel heroes face setbacks, tough choices, and major surprises. The reveal of Darth Vader’s connection to Luke Skywalker became one of the most talked-about moments in film history and helped shape the series going forward.

All 2025 1 oz Proof Colorized Niue Silver Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back Foils come housed in presentation boxes and include a Certificate of Authenticity from the mint. Each foil has its own serial number on the obverse. The proof finish gives the silver a sharp, polished look, while selective colorization brings the reverse artwork to life.

On the obverse of the 2025 Proof Colorized Niue Silver Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back Foils, you’ll see the Public Seal of Niue. Also featured is a bold inscription reading May the force be with you, one of the most recognizable lines from the Star Wars universe.

The reverse of 2025 1 oz Proof Colorized Silver Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back Foils shows Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, and a fleet of star ships. The film’s settings—like the frozen plains of Hoth, the murky swamps of Dagobah, and Cloud City floating above Bespin—helped widen the scope of the story and gave fans memorable worlds to explore.
