Star Wars: Card Trader, an application for both Android and iOS devices, was launched by The Topps Company, Inc. on March 12, 2015. Through this application, users are able to register and amass a collection of digital trading cards featuring characters from Star Wars.
Digital Art Director Neil Kleid commented on the diverse selection of cards offered within the app, explaining, "Considering the wide array of sets we offer, our goal is to cater to every type of Star Wars enthusiast in some capacity. Each person connects with Star Wars in their own unique way."
Producer Steve Ciccarelli remarked, "The charm lies in the ability to carry the complete Star Wars universe within your mobile device. I draw a parallel to music. I prefer not to carry my entire record collection around, but I have it readily available on my phone. This enhanced accessibility amplifies my enjoyment. The digital realm unlocks a host of possibilities that are simply unattainable with traditional physical cards. The potential is limitless."
Subsequently, Topps complemented the app with the introduction of a tangible trading-card set.
The 2020 masterpiece card featuring Trench inaccurately claims that he participated in the Galactic Civil War.
