- "In fact, there are many similarities between this 'new' magazine and its predecessor. The major difference begins with the key word in the revised title: Collector. This magazine will now be the definitive, official source of information on all the toys, vehicles, figurines, comics and every other collectible that has been covered by Star Wars fans for more than 20 years."
- ―Star Wars Galaxy Collector editor Bob Woods
Star Wars Galaxy Collector, abbreviated as SWGC, was a magazine published quarterly by Topps that focused on Star Wars collectibles. The successor to Topps' previous Star Wars publication, Star Wars Galaxy Magazine, Star Wars Galaxy Collector ran for eight issues, from February 1998 to December 1999.
Subscriber copies of Star Wars Galaxy Collector, dubbed Deluxe Collectors' Editions, came polybagged with exclusive Star Wars collectibles, such as Topps trading cards. The Deluxe Collectors' Editions were offered only to subscribers and comic stores, and were not available on newsstands. Each Star Wars Galaxy Collector issue included a special fold-out poster, self-contained within the newsstand editions or loose within the the Deluxe Collectors' Editions' exclusive polybags.
